Does meditation cure acute Depreciation and anxiety?
Patient: Hello! Doctor, I ve been undergoing Psychiatric treatment since 2007 for the diagnosed Acute Depreciation & Anxiety. I m being treated with Ventab DXT 25, Macorate CR200, Wacalert 50 & Zapiz 1.00 whenever I feel more anxiety or seem not able to control my thoughts. Actually, this started in 1998 from Exam Phobia & was treated for same. Since then I ve been in & out on medication from time to time till 2007 from where there s consistency in medication & follow ups. Sutre, the treatment has helped me to stabilize over the period. I ve got married, have a small daughter, completed post graduation, MBA & also did certification in SAP FI. The doctor has been of great help to me. He was of opinion that I ve lesser coping capacity. And, that s not entirely wrong. His major concern has been my changing the job & settling in it. He s slowly started reducing power of drugs with powers mentioned above. But, it seems I ve developed dependency on these medicines. And, I want to stand on my own with my thought controlling me rather than medicines. In this blog, I read in answer to one patient, reference to Meditation, Self Motivation. Meditation or Yoga is okay for me since I ve learned it scientifically. I want to know about self motivation. Is there any specific resource available? How can I access it? Will I ever be able to overcome these feelings? or they ve become a part of my personality? I wish to live a life free of medication & complete self reliance. Able to communicate with myself, Be social, & grow in my career as well as financially. Cause, then only I ll not just be able to prove to myself but others as well.
