Frequent Anxiety Attacks, Hot Flashes, Feel Nauseous. Diagnosed With Depression. How To Recover?
I get anxiety attacks quite often hot flashes feel nausea feel like I m going to fa.int scared to leave the house. I have been to the doctor twice for this and they say it s all in my head and I m doing this to myself because of stress . I was diagnosed with depression when I was 18 years old I got myself off of it a year ago pills.. being able to cope with it just by rubbing my neck . it s the exact same symptoms but now that I m older and in my forties it s become a lot worse than what it was and now I can t control it. I feel like I lost my life
Hello......
Thanks for your query. These anxiety attacks you are describing are referred to as "panic attacks". They can be effective treated with anti-anxiety drugs like SRRI's or SNRI's as well as psychotherapy (eg cognitive behavioural therapy). Hence, i would suggest that you need not lose hope and undergo a thorough re-evaluation by a psychiatrist and start appropriate treatment.
