How Can Depression And Anxiety Be Treated?

i um im not sure if i really need help or im going thru normal emotional phases due to the year I ve had, i spent this last year caring for my father who has dementia, with my husband constantly dogging me for taking care of my father (dad was violent at me and very uncivil when he got sick) during this I had a miscarriage, resulting in the cause of my split with my husband and i ended up having to put my father in an assisted living home. I either have no emotions about all of it or incredibly strong sorrow and pain. I have anxiety and ptsd from being almost murdered in 2010 which i never got any help for and i feel so heavy and empty at the same time

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you were under chronic stress due to various psychological stressors in your home last year you might feel little disturbed.

The background of PTSD always makes you feel low and even disturb the psychological status of your mind so it's better you take medications which act as anxiolytics for a short term course so that you can come out of this stress permanently and you can lead a happy life.

Consult your psychiatrist and explain to him about your current status so that he can help you out by providing medications for a short term.

I hope I have cleared your query. Feel free to ask any further questions.
