Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I've been on depression and anxiety medications for a long time, but they don't really help with the episodes. I constantly feel down, or very irritable and hot headed. How often should I go for a medication adjustment and or is there a more natural way to feel more balanced?
In case of chronic depression, patients need combination of antidepressant. You may need combination of antidepressant. About medications, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. You can also try some relaxation exercise or life style modification technique. That would help to keep you calm and relax. You can also consult a psychologist for cognitive behavioral therapy. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
