Medications prescribed by doctors is part of the treatment and you should go along with it. However if you're not comfortable, seek a 2nd opinion through another medical professional because even doctors will have different opinion towards the same case.

However if after having seek say, 2nd and even 3rd opinion and all of them say the same thing - do follow their advice so that you'll see improvements of your condition.

Our emotions are also controlled by our hormones, so do get yourself checked to see if your thyroid level is normal.

Good to hear you're practicing a healthy lifestyle. Hope you'll be able to recover soon

depression and anxiety is confirmed by psychiatrist, but i didn't know that leaving it be will making it even worst. that is why after a year only i look for professional help, but sadly it doesnt help and making it even worst.

wow. what i done before is swimming everyday an hour a day, meditation 10 minute. started to sleep at 11-12pm wake up at 7. which i used to sleep at 1 or 2am before. even when i am having depression.

I totally stopped caffeine and alcohol. Recently I went to friends wedding dinner, saw so much of red wine and alcohol makes me want to drink so badly. Although i don't take much either last time. my condition got worst is because that day i just drink a cup of green tea latte because there is offer and got worst due to that.

Meds are definitely trial & error. It may work well for some, but lacking effects on others. So which is why patients must feedback to his/ her doctor periodically and the doctor must take note & monitor the results.

i believe it will go away as soon as i solve the underlying problem... now just trying to cope with it.... my sleep is affected badly and i have become an extremely light sleeper... worse still sleeping with someone that's one of the cause of the problem

flexi, usually 9am start

yea, mental illness is like a crack, ignore and it will get worse gradually... actually it getting worse might not also due to treatment not working... as far as i know, mental illness have ups and downs... treatment might help shorten the down duration and severity of it but not enough to go all the way up... that's why long term multi-prong treatment is needed

good start... if mind is not health at least keep the body healthy... less problem

yea, must restrain until recover as these beverages have effect on the chemicals/hormones of the body or directly to the body itself...

same to me i am still trying to cope with it. I can sleep easily, but i woke up in the middle of the night few times and I feel dizzy easily.

sometimes i just wonder why this would happen to me as my life is okay before. I also have thoughts if this does not happen now it might happen in the future. My mind is definitely not healthy and very haywire. I have to keep my body healthy if body not healthy, my mind will go even worst.

solve one problem at a time... i have so far managed to keep my body healthy and fit... in fact the fittest in my entire life, 4 packs showing all in 2 months from a big fat tire, my fitness scores are among the top 90%... these past 2 days i managed my insomnia as well... one step at a time...

some good reading;

Yeah i have heard that selena gomez had mental health issue and good to hear that you are progressing in some way. I am trying ways to progress as well, but so far i think i have minor progress without knowing what i have done.

it is different for everyone... we have our own journey... important part is stay positive and keep on healing...

I understand is different for everyone. Btw the video you posted. Is that you?

no, i have still not overcome my problem yet... so anxiety still exist... but my insomia seems to be under control

I don't know how to look for a good psychiatrist. I stopped going 6 years ago and I need it again now.

I have depression and anxiety for about 9 to 10 years and recently for the past 1 year I keep having suicidal thoughts and I keep thinking of dead scenes. Like, a car would crash to me, I would go to the top building and jump, I will chop my hand or slit my wrist (which I did and it scarred).

I'm feeling so lethargic every single day, I can sleep for 16 hours if I'm not working. And going to work is such a hassle, I feel demotivated and sick of everything in life.

Currently I am going to a lot of places, but I think for your case it can help.

1. Psychiatrist. Klinik Pakar John Tan. Located at Kuchai Lama. I think I do not need to google it for you. The queue is a lot you have to go early to see doctor early. I am still going there. I heard a lot people reviewing they had recovered after they take medication for a period of time.

2. The Golden Space. It is some sort of spiritual healing. It doesn't really help me, because my main issue now is not on depression and anxiety. A lot people did recover from there which had depression and anxiety. You can go and survey and talk to them on your condition and then decide whether you want to proceed.

I know it is not easy to go through all these things and I am still looking for help in any way. I hope this 2 can really release you from it. If there is anything which can do to recover I will definitely recommend you guys.

Thanks. I'll check out John Tan since I am working there...

Have you visited to the clinic?

Hello. I actually went to PPUM because it's cheaper. Been on medication for the past 1 month now. 😊😊😊

google mr paul jambunathan - a clinical psychologist...maybe he can help you

So far so good. Been taking the meds on time and can see got improvement in my mood.

good to hear that.
