Suggest Treatment For Anorexia & Depression

Iam 38 years old and have suffered from anorexia and bullimia since 18. I went through a good period of eating, but it is always up and down. I have a drink problem and continued 3 detox's over the years. Still not eating properly, especially diary products, lost alot of weight. Had a son who will be 2 in dec this year. Went from a size 20 to a 12 within a year. Still drinking wine alot. Suffer with terrible stress and aniexty and pains in my neck down the right side, this causes me to feel even more stressed, as i take alot of ibuprofen. I have had several bruises appear on my hands, my bones crack, and bruises on my legs.
I have depression also in touch with a phychiatrist, but he wont put me on any medication for my really bad aniexty, is this right, as i have had so many anti-dep in the past.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, you need antidepressant. That would help you to control anxiety as well as depressive symptoms. You can also take help of a psychologist for psychotherapy. That would help to control the dose of antidepressant and other medication in control. For your drinking and drugs taking behavior, better to consult a psychiatrist. That could be due to depression and anxiety. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
