Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
It can be taken but it will not have any long-term positive result so it is not advisable to use it for such disorders..It would be better to have official prescription from psychiatrist. and there are various possible medicatios.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
