How can anxiety and depression be treated?
Patient: I m having some anxiety and depression from the past month. I recently broke up with my girlfriend. I always thought that she is the one and I still think that i lost her forever. Maybe this is not the only thing that keeps me worried. I am always worried about my family, because everyone has anger problems and anything can happen. I want to leave my family, stay alone, and i thought would marry my girlfriend after some years. I am stuck. I always feel like im in a box. Doctor: hi sirin my opinion, presently your entering into depressive episode. your separation with your girl friend was the main stressor for you at present. as your unable to cope up with that stress, your slowly entering into depression. Because of that, your having those feelings of being sad and lonely features. if you neglect it, slowly you enter into severe depression. So, i strongly recommend you to consult a psychiatrist. Mostly cognitive behavioral therapy is sufficient at this stage. If needed, anti-depressant medications can also be prescribed.
