Dear Member, with your list of complaints the need for thorough clinical assessment rises. A mixed presentation of symptoms requires clear diagnosis and definitely prescription of proper medication (with complaints like hallucinations also present). Incase you are regular with your medicine, symptoms should get in control. If not, then
1. Diagnosis and medication need to be re-visited
2. You are not regular with your pills.
Foremost task remains proper diagnosis and medical aid. Natural remedies will build your health. Acute phases (mental health issues) require psychiatric medication. Then for anxiety-panic- depression, where your coping skills are the target (distorted thoughts, feelings, maladaptive behavior patterns) therapy will come to help.
Health Tips
Be regular with doctor adviced medication. and seek their guidance to change dosages if its not settling right.
