Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Depression

My doctor gave me celexa first and then changed it to lexaproa couple of moths later claiming that he thought that I was dealing with depression. The thing is that I do not feel that I am depressed the only thing that I wanted to do was calm down at the times that I was feeling like I could not just shut down I was always run..run..run..

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. These mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines and other means like awareness, meditation, Psychotherapy techniques, life style changes etc. You are already on medication. I suggest you to try the other means of treatment. Consult a psychologist with the consent of your psychiatrist.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
