Are medication going to help me handle my mental issues?!


Question: Are medication going to help me handle my mental issues?

Answers:

Medication with therapy will help you feel more in control. You will feel more empowered and confident about dealing with things.



If you find out you're bipolar, then medications will help you. If it's severe anxiety, there are meds that can help with that too. If you self harm, then there is a reason for your anxiety, so talking to a psychologist would probably help you a lot.



Honestly, I don't think any medication can help you with what you have i think you should probably try an intensive care rehab and just try to relax and when you get out hire a personal therapist. You probably just need someone to talk to who you can trust.



If you dislike p-meds you may option for alternatives like exercising, meditation, changing food to vegetarian and more methods are available.
