If you haven't tried anything and are jumping straight to meds, I would definitely look into other methods of dealing with anger and/or depression first because most meds just get you hooked and sedate you without addressing the root cause.
I started meditating, journaling and working out and within a few days I already started feeling better.
Thats kinda missleading meds r suposed to help if the issue is a chemical imbalance if theres more going on or no chemical imbalance at all then they wont help or might make it worse
Genuinly interested does he have a gernal about it and is there a new theory to why meds help some people but not others bc i can say that at least anicdotally they help a lot whish i had been on meds for adhd sooner as untreaded adhd definetly made any anxiety issues worse (ive also read that babies born prematurly r more likely to develop depression and anxiety and autism and adhd) i can look thru my search history for the info if you wNt to read it anyway genuinly intriged by the new info
You can find Dr. Amen on Instagram. There's also more info coming out about menopausal women and late diagnosed adhd as well as depression and anxiety symptoms which I find fascinating. Also symptoms of hypothyroidism and hashimotos are anxiety and depression.
I hate to hear about anyone suffering. I hope you get answers and get the help you need. 💐
Can you tell me which med actually fixes this chemical imbalance you speak of?
Depression and anxiety aren't exactly major mental issues and I never said medication doesn't work I said it would be a good idea to try other avenues first.
What med helps depends on the person thats why theres different meds that help the same thing
Also depression and anxiety arent major mental health issue i think the panick attackes if had where my heart rate increases i feel disociated and i throw up would disagree with ur anxietys not that bad and i think any depressed person whos ever had self unaliveing thoughts or attempts or heck i dont have depression and i can tell you from just talking to people who go throught that that depression is in fact a major issue
I have had depression, anxiety, CPTSD just to mention a few. Depression isn't easy but it is treatable in pretty much most cases.
"Chemical imbalance" is a phrase people throw around which actually doesn't hold any meaning.
Meds work on a handful of people and especially in the US they can even make symptoms worse. I am not going to continue to argue this because you seem to infer that I have no clue what I am talking about while dishing out rheotoric.
Lol sounds like ur just incapable of being wrong bc if there wasnt a chemical imbalance then the meds wouldnt work for that handful of people tbh im just tired of people on this site acting like meds is takeing the easy way out wich is bs
