Dear Lybrate user, I know it's hard going through mental health concerns. But worrying about anxiety and depression might lead to secondary symptoms, this concern is addressed in cognitive behavioral therapy especially in rational emotive behaviour therapy. So, be confident don't worry, if you want to manage depression and anxiety without medications, I suggest you go for therapy, with a psychologist. Managing your thoughts might help you greatly. If you need more help you can contact me as well. All the best! regards.

Risdone plus is an antipsychotic and serta is an antidepressant. It is wiser to get your diagnosis correctly from your doctor i. E. Psychiatrist. Yes, oevr a period of time if you are doing well, there are possibilities to taper the medications and if there is no relapse can lead to even stopping the same. Good luck.

Dear Lybrate user, first of all, it is appreciable that you have been sincerely following your doctor's treatment, which is an indicator of your future successes in you life. There is a good chance for you that you can make your dreams come true, in spite of your mood disorder. Giving you some suggestions: - keep in touch with your psychiatrist, periodically. -continue to do all your activities that help boost your mood. -don't have any unrealistic expectations. -people with depressive disorders may have struggle/alterations in their sleep/wake cycle, which may be manipulated in accordance with your academic activities/study habits, goal setting, effective time management etc. To the positive direction. -maintain a good interpersonal relationship with all people who are in your life. Above all, you can take the help of a psychological counsellor's service who can help you through all these dimensions. You can consult me through Lybrate's private consultation platform, if you want more help.
