Hello Lybrate user,
in any kind of physical illness we need to continue the medication to overcome from the disease. The same thing applied in psychiatric illness. If we want to overcome from the disease we need to continue the medicine which prescribed by the psychiatrist. It will help to decrease the symptoms as well as the illness. Thank you, have a speedy recovery.

Dear lybrate-user,
congratulations for continuing your interest in making your life better. Ect is an option - not tried so far. But it is not a one time treatment. It has to be given under anesthesia, may be 6-12 times. Only few psychiatrists will have ect facility. Ketamine and rtms - very very few psychiatrist will have it. Ketamine will work if you are acutely suicidal. The effect lasts for lesser time than ect. Rtms may be given as outpatient since it does not need anesthesia. But the n...more

Dear lybrate-user
have hope. Every patient with adhd/autism does not always ned medication. Please visit an autism expert to see if psychotherapy can help your child or if medication will be required.
Take care.

This is a troublesome question to a lot of people on medication. Bipolar 1 what you have now is a long-term recovery program. You should not rely on medication alone and must therefore combine it with some therapy too. This is the best approach. Comply with all the medical prescriptions, and work in tandem with a counselor for a long time and learn coping skills and techniques to handle the daily challenges you will face. There are certain adaptations that will suit you during the elation phase ...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
By and large, flat feet in children do not require treatment and will usually develop arches by adolescence or early adulthood.
Children who go barefoot on varied terrain are more likely to have normal arch development, usually between the ages of 4 and 6.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Dear user 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 donã¢â€â™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 donã¢â€â™t depend on the ...more
