Differential diagnosis

Question

Asked for Female, 40 Years

I'm a 40 yr old woman with a long history of mild to moderate depression, for which I take 250mg of Sertraline early each evening . I also have ADHD (non-hyperactive type), which I don't take medication for. I frequently forget a dose of my antidepressant medication...about once a week no matter what I try! I usually realize I forgot by mid-morning and take the missed dose then. I wonder if I also have manic episodes, but I'm always on this rollercoaster of inconsistency with my meds.

I understood your difficulty..what you can do is set an alarm or remainder each day or make it a habit that you will take them as soon as you finish your dinner just like how we drink water after food...skipping medication will not help you and there may be chances of relapse.. Thank u. Dr Neeraj
