Dear lybrate-user, yes, any breathing technique is helpful in clinical depression. But they are only add ons to main treatment. You can not live only with the side dishes. I doubt the diagnosis - it may be more than clinical depression. Please consult your psychiatrist so that serta and risdone plus dose is adjusted according to your improvement. Don't stop the medication and start anapana meditation and continue both.

Dear user you are talking about taking medicines but how long you would take medicines? Medicines are not a proper solution for your problem. When we are aware about our problem we are able to control but we have to control it in a proper way. You are too young and taking these tablets, it's not good for your physical as well as your mental health. If you don’t want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health, you have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts. 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 on the medicines and don't make it a habit for future. You need counseling session for a better control on this disorder and medicines. Medicines are not the only solution, counseling is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourself from the side effects of medicines. Please call and discuss your problem in detail and then ll be able to help you better. My contact no is mobile.

Mild depression has a host of symptoms like low mood for too many days, crying spells, loss of interest in work, low confidence, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts. If mild depression is not treated in time, you are at the risk of severe depression. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Hello Mr Harish Kumar I will suggest you to go fr some basic natural process to overcome depression...... 1.Meditation. As guru-like as this may sound, meditation is receiving a much higher role in psychotherapy and is used in a lot of different approaches to many psychological disorders, but has shown to be especially helpful in combating depression. 2.Exercising. The most common symptom in people suffering from Depression is apathy towards life. They are not motivated to do anything and simply sit around, trying to waste time. If you are experiencing this then force yourself to do something! Anything is better than nothing, although exercise is one of the best things to do. Workout, do some physical activities, or be productive in some way. When you accomplish something you always feel better because you see that life can keep moving on! 3.Accepting your situation. Most people try to deny the fact that they are depressed, hide from the negative events in the world and, simply put, run away from the truth. This denial causes them to misinterpret other events and the depression is left room to grow. Accept that there is a problem, but also accept the fact that you can change. Nothing is forever and you can do something about it. But you must believe in this first otherwise all the help in the world is not going to do anything for you. 4.Focus on what you can do. There are millions and millions of things that you cannot change. There are so many things that you wish you could do but can’t that focusing on it all the time is bound to make you depressed. Instead, focus on the actual things you can affect and change. You can do so much but you must focus on what you can do. The 3 most powerful words I have learned to do this are: “Okay… what now?” Given the situation, given everything that is going on, what are you going to do about it now? 5.Sleep early: Have 7 hours of good sleep. Just sleep it up!This’ll charge up your body for the next day. Make sure you get good sleep. Clear up your mind before you sleep, put things to tomorrow and just relax and sleep 6.Have some hobby: Dancing, painting, piano,guitar, writing, blogging, journalism,whatever it may be. Make time each week to do something that you really like. Do it regularly, become skilled in it and enjoy these little moments of happiness!

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. If someone has severe depression that has not responded well to first-line treatments like antidepressant medication or psychotherapy, there are other types of treatment they can try, including: electroconvulsive therapy (ect) transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms). Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hi, I can understand that there is a dilemma between getting adequate response from medication and getting relief from sexual adverse effects. I believe you have already discussed this issue with your psychiatrist and buspirone might have been added for this reason. If you want to stay on paroxetine, then other potential options are either decreasing dose of paroxetine (provided your depressive symptoms are under control) or adding a different medication such as bupropion or mirtazapine etc. Instead of buspirone. However, such a change should only happen after a proper discussion about risks benefits with a psychiatrist. So please consult in person or on phone for that.

Dear Sara, Your doctor at Pakistan is equally good and she/he has been trying good treatments like antidepressants, mood stabilisers and ECT. Please continue with her/him. Telemedicine in India has jurisdiction in the same country only. It is difficult for you to undergo treatment in India because certain basic tablets only can be prescribed through telemedicine. Intractable depression needs lot of experimental tablets as add on.

If you are absolutely fine than discuss with your treating doctor or any doctor of your choice. Thank you
