Suggest Treatment For Persistent Depression And Anxiety Despite Medications
I have anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I take medication for depression and anxiety. I had a tragedy to happen in my life and cannot seem to move past it. The medications do not seem to work and I have been on them for quite a while. I do not have suicidal thoughts. What can be done when my doctor is non responsive to change the medication. Some days I have a hard time breathing and I shake from the anxiety. I need suggestions as I am 64 and want to move on with my life.

Hi,
Meditation and yoga are two best options for you. I would suggest some Aasans which you can search online for video demo. Shavaasan, Pavanmuktaaasan, surya namaskara, gyan mudra, Sheetali and Shekhari pranayama, bhujang aaasan, trikona aasan. You can try all of them. You can also take Tab Mentat DS to combat your anxiety. Also Shirodhara therapy shall be beneficial.
Hope that helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. M Zahoor Bhat
