What Causes Anxiety,depression And Mood Swings?
I am searching for a psychiatrist versed in pharmacology because I am on so many meds for different health issues. I feel some of them are contraindicated. Or a neuropsychiatrist because of my mental health issues: anxiety, depression, mood swings, memory and cognitive issues, balance and currently being treated for BiPolar 2 symptoms, but as of yet, not diagnosed.

Hello,
You are suffering from anxiety, depression and mood swings. Such symptoms commonly are due to stressful lifestyle. Try to avoid stress, both physical and emotional. Inadequate sleep, substance abuse, skipping of meals, side effects of certain medication you are taking, fatigue, hormonal changes can trigger mood swings, depression and anxiety.
Such symptoms may also be indicative of borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, PTSD, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined and evaluated by a Psychiatrist. If need be you will be referred to a GP for evaluation of any chronic illness and management. You will have to get all required blood tests, imaging tests, done so that treatment can be started at the earliest.
Avoid addictions if any. Stay away from drugs, smoking, alcohol, etc. You are suggested to take at least 8 hours quality sleep. Get connected to a Physical therapist. CBT, massage therapy and exercises will help to overcome the symptoms. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected and the severity of the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
