3 months ago I went to hospital after having a nervous breakdown. I was later told that it was mainly do to my lifestyle i was living( drinking, smoking dope, working night shoots) After this incident I was left with frequent anxiety attacks.

The Dr’s I used perscibed me on pur bloka tablets( which apparently control addrenaline), and Espirade Capsules( which is an anti psychotic). After six weeks I was perscribed Cipramil to treat my anxiety.
During the course of my anxiety attacks I never once had depression. I may have been down for having anxiety issues but thats all. Now 3 months later I’m left with major depression. I don’t find myself interested in activities which I once did. I feel totally un-attached from the environment around me, I find it difficult to get out of bed too. It just feels like i’m a walking zombie which has no enthusiasm for life.
Could the medication which was perscribed for my anxiety have caused me to become depressed? Please Help anyon

i suffer from major depression and have a anxiety disorder im currently getting help with cbt and anti depressants and feel i am on the road to recovery but there’s no way i would have been able to do it with out the help of medication, but im just wondering if you think a healthy diet and exercise helps a great deal in battling depression and anxiety and other mental health problems?

I have panic attacks whenever I attend a big event such as funerals and graduations.I’ve been on meds for 3 years..I suffer from GAD,OCD,major depression and panic attacks.I was doing better but it seems that now that I’ve gotten use to these meds , the symptoms are starting to get worse again. I take Effexor Xr,Abilify,Remeron,and Ativan…Can someone please give me some advice on what to do? (Thanks)

I need help with my mum!! She has been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for many many years…she cant go out without someone being with her and even then on a bad day she still cant face it!!
I feel that this has led to major depression for her as she now doesn’t see the point in still being here…I’ve done as much as I can and I’m now at a loss.
She is constantly at the doctors for this that and the other and she is on lots of different medication….but doctors dont seem to take her seriously and the medication doesn’t seem to help her. She has also been diagnosed with heamachromotosis which is an Iron overload disorder and she has to have blood taken on a regular basis to lower her iron levels…..could this maybe be having an affect on how she is ??? I dont know?. Also, I recently found out that my grandfather, her father, suffered with depression and was actually admitted to a mental institute for a while..although he always seemed fine to me…could it be genetic??
