Is Enbrel Tablet The Right Medicine For Stress And Depression?

My sister has been treated with Enbrel for more than 7 years. She is going from dire depression to elation(and bizarre overspending) then she s in the depths of depression and despair. When down, she seems totally paranoid and rages at people, claiming slights and things that did not happen. It seems that she is cycling from one extreme to another within shorter periods. I began to suspect Enbrel when she began to extend the days she went without it(supposedly at her doctors suggestions). Everything seems all right and then within days she is raging and claiming things that did not happen, to justify her rages. It is getting scary.

I went through your details. From the given details your sister is showing symptoms of delusions, depression, bipolar disorder and of course anxiety. Schizophrenia could be the final diagnosis. Enbrel has active ingredients of etanercept. It is often used in rheumatoid arthritis. According to some research conducted by institutions, very few evidences found as it affects the mental health. You should consult a psychiatrist immediately for your sisters treatment.
