Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you may have dissociative disorder. In that case, it is part of depression and anxiety disorder. There is nothing to worry about it. With lexapro and xanax, both depressive and anxiety symptoms would decrease and these symptoms would subside. In case, these episodes stay, you can discuss this with your psychiatrist for further management and evaluation.

Thanks
