Suggest Treatment For Depression

Hello I was raped ten months ago an ever since I have been harming myself. I've been making myself sick skipping meals overdosing every night and drinking a lot. I'm only eighteen. I've been rushed into hospital a few times because my overdosing has been that bad. Last night, I cut myself fifteen times and have an infection already. I can't participate in normal activities as I'm suffering with anxiety really bad and want my life to end. I can't talk to any of my family as they don't understand. I'm hearing and seeing things that aren't real apparently however to me they are real I'm not crazy. I'm taking fluoxetine fourth milligrams and serequoll XL one hundred. Although I am taking this medication none of my symptoms have changed. I would like some answers please?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are not getting any benefit from fluoxetine, in that case, you can either shift to another antidepressant or take help of a psychologist for psychotherapy. That would help you to come out of trauma in better way. You can try some life style modification activity to forget about the past. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
