Permanent cure is dependent on your seeking the help of a counselor too and cooperating with both therapies.

For the sleep you may try the following although the bipolar condition will affect the cycle tremendously: In your case particularly, do not s...more

You seem to be taking a lot of medications, some of which don’t really stick to the diagnosis of depression. Would you be comfortable elaborating about your symptoms? Going through neet exams is a very tiring and stressful situation, and I understand that its important that you are alert and awake during this period. Let me know a bit more about your symptoms and diagnosis, and maybe I can help.

Generally speaking, before starting medicines from a psychiatrist, it is advisable to get psycho-diagnostic testing done to determine what is the nature of symptoms- is it psychological –requiring counselling/psychotherapy or does the symptom require medicines from a psychiatrist. HOWEVER, WHEN SYMPTOMS ARE NO LONGER NORMAL OR TOUCHING UPON INSANITY, SEE A PSYCHIATRIST IMMEDIATELY. PSYCHIATRIST IS MBBS PLUS MD IN PSYCHIATRY- HE GIVES MEDICINES ONLY. TREATMENT STARTED EARLIER WILL CONTROL THE P...more

Dear lybrate-user,
Since how long you are taking these medicines? What is the diagnosis? If it is OCD, these medicines are not only right for you, but also you need to take them for a long term with frequent visits to your doctor for dose adjustment. For your confusion and low confidence, you need therapy. Ask your doctor, she/he may add or refer you to a psychologist.

Dear Lybrate-User,
None of the tablets that you have mentioned cause memory problems. But due to ocd itself memory lapses will be there. As you improve with ocd, you will fill your thoughts with things happening around you, so that recent memory improves. Please give an example of emotional connectivity with memories.

I think you need to work with a counselor in tandem with the medication. Schizophrenia with ocd is pretty difficult to handle without some help from a counselor. I hope your visits to the psychiatrist were regular and the medication has been frequently reviewed during these years. You need to be occupied, and fit into a routine of interesting activities every day. Whatever the situation you must be responsible, respectful and functional. Yoga and meditation is also necessary to train your brain ...more
