Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Stress ,anxiety and depressions are very common in today's modern life and one should make all efforts to correct them by adopting lifestyle changes rather going for medicines because first of all such type of medicines are available only by prescription from a doctor and a little prolonged use of them results in addiction very fast.
So a person should try for all non medical methods instead of medicines and if he fails,then only go for medicines.
What to do....
Avoid alcohol and smoking
Avoid late night sleep
Avoid party drugs
Drink plenty of water.
Take plenty of fresh fruits,green vegetables and nuts.
Avoid colas and junk foods.
Do regular aerobic exercises for 30-45 minutes.
Do regular yoga,meditation and deep breathing exercises.
Give these measures a sincere try for 3 months.You will definitely succeed.
In case you are unsuccessful ,then may consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and management.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
