What Is The Best Medicine For Depression And Mental Illness?
Hi I'm Suvarna here, my brother in law has been prescribed MODALERT 100 mg, sizodon forte & CLONOTRIL .25mg. I want to know these tabs are given for depression or mental illness. He has lot of aggressiveness, anxiety & keeps thinking & connecting to different topics. How can this be resolved? he doesnt like to take any medicine & often tells us if medicine is gvn he would go away from us. Please help for the treatment & how severity it is??
Hello Suvarna, Welcome to HCM. First about medicines: Modalert is a psychostimulant. It is usually given to increase the alertness (in simple terms). Sizodone is an antipsychotic. Clonotril is anti-anxiety medicine.
Coming to your queries, These tablets are not given for depression but for psychotic mental illnesses. The symptoms which you have mentioned like aggressiveness, anxiety and connecting to different topics suggest some mental illness in him. The drugs are essential for him if the diagnosis is correct. you must visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation. If he does not wish to take tablets, he can be given sizodone syrup but under doctor's supervision. Hope this helps you. Thanks.
