Dear Manoj, It is better to go to the same doctor, if etilaam pro, ativan and risdone ls were not sufficient. Probably his diagnosis at that time, 2 months back, was more psychotic and anxiety issues. Now those issues are under control, depression is more prominent needing d veniz. In psychiatry, the longitudinal diagnosis is made on seeing you at different stages. Now as a third doctor, i will see only what you are on 5th Jan. It is NOT very helpful for your long term from childhood problems. Now that you have two doctors, follow up with one of them at 2-3 weeks interval to make a definitive longitudinal diagnosis and set sufficient treatment process.
