Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much.  The psychiatrist prescribe medicines after consulting your present and past condition and according to their experience in practice. You have not given the names of all those 4 medicines and therefore, I cannot comment on that.You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance.
