Feeling low, having crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances, and difficulty in concentration and attention are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. It is likely with medication and counselings the symptoms will improve. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless consult a psychiatrist immediately.

Etizolam works better for anxiety with less effects on sleep while lorazepam also works for anxiety with good effect on sleep as well. I hope this answers your concerns.

Now you can take it from anywhere online through video or audio
also visit. Mindmedia.in for more details.
Bye and take care.

Increase your communication with your psychiatrist at initial level, report the issues if you are facing. The things shown in this song is also truth upto so...more

You are too young. But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. I don't know what are the circumstances under which you are taking medicines, I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But I must say don't depend ...more
