You have to be realistic & realize from the start that there is no quick fix for mental health issues. This isn't like going to  a GP & get meds for the.flu. Take meds & finish antibiotics then fever subside. Ok all settled. Nor is it like going for surgery then after maybe 2 -3 followups ok. No need to see surgeon anymore.

Each patient condition is different & no psychiatrist will say ok you just need to follow up 5 more times then sudah settled, tak payah datang lagi. Doesn't work that way.

If a person has a disorder will they give medicine to try or will they talk with you for a long time before deciding to prescribe anything? Must show extreme panic, discomfort or stress only they believe?

Er, bro better don't spread misinformation if you do not have a deep understanding in how medications work and to whom it should be given to. I don't mean to be rude but this kind of advice can actually prevent people from taking the medication route when they are actually in need of them to get them to a baseline level.

Medication are meant for people with anxiety, depression etc. There are various type of medications that work differently such as SSRIs, mood stabilisers, atypical, SNRIs. Some to tackle symptoms, some to tackle the root cause. Medications however like what another forumer pointed out is not like a flu medicine and not like you get healed within 5-6 sessions. Once a person starts on medication and even if they get better, the process to taper off will take at least 2-3 months per medicine depending on dosage. (Not directed to you but for general forum info).

People with ADHD, depression and anxiety may not have delusion or hearing things out of nowhere. Mainly those with psychotic symptoms have those bro. Psychologist or counselors are no doubt great help for people with trauma, grieft etc. and agree with you that if the patient is stubborn then it won't be an effective treatment for them.

However, people with severe depression and anxiety (without delusions) are highly recommended to go to the medication route. Counselling is a long process and generally requires more than 6 sessions at least to see some results. So supplementing it with medication, helps to either reduce or prevent their symptoms from spiraling down further.

I'm not saying everyone needs to take medication cos it depends on their issues but I'm saying, advising that medication is only highly recommended for a selected small group of people with delusion is rather incorrect advice and may cause more harm. Just my two cents.

I can understand why some people.may dislike meds especially if it causes severe side effects hence the reason why they don't take it.if they can. Unfortunately, they are some patients who do need meds regardless so it is wrong to downplay it's importance in a patient's mental wellbeing.

if your relatives expect meds to be a quick fix then I'm sorry that it doesn't work that way. It's not a magic pill.
