What is your question?
Since its been such a ling standing trouble, there has to be a proper plan of what to expect as an outcome from treatment.
Also along with medications other measures need to be used for building stability in daily functioning first and then may be taking slightly more responsibilities.
Include Yoga, Arts Based Therapy, and other such alternative therapies for a wholesome benefit.
Also you may include Homoeopathic medicines along. I cannot comment on the medicines going on but you may safely include Homeopathy in addition to the current medicines. I have been using it with much benefit for patients.
Next Steps
Include wholistic alternatives along with medications.
