Suggest Treatment For Anorexia And Depression

hi, I am quite an eanxious person and in the past have had anorexia and depression. I have recently been getting extremley anxious about everyday things, I feel worried about myself, my health like there is something seriousley wrong with me. I feel on edge. I found myself in the garden at 5am one morning sobbing. I am sure I have noticed a pattern that the anxiety increases when I am having a period. Also I had the copper coil fitted about 4 months aga. I had the mirena coil taken out after 6 months as I thought I was going to have a breakdown all the time.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

The symptoms like severe anxiety, depressive symptoms and anorexia etc should need proper attention. Excessive worries about yourself, feelings like something is wrong with you, crying spells etc are due to depression only. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for such symptoms.

For proper treatment of anxiety Behavioural Methods along with relaxation exercises, breathing exercises etc help to reduce the symptoms. Cognitive therapy is a good option for depressive symptoms.

Medicines like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are commonly used in depression. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these medicines.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
