    I am on olanzapine (antipsychotic) and I am also on sertraline (anti depressant) and they do help. It was very severe before that, I had such a horrible mental state and hallucinations and low mood before them. I still have paranoia, intrusive thoughts, periods of low mood and more, but it is nowhere near as severe as it was before I started taking them. I started taking sertraline 1-2 months into my hospitalisation and olanzapine a few months after that, because I actually requested that I wanted medication to the doctors and nurses because I knew something was really off with me.

    Thank you so much for responding. I’ve had anxiety most of my life and I’ve been able to cope with it without medication. About a year ago. I’ve developed a panic disorder and I would have random panic attacks about once a week where I would call my partner to come and stay with me until the panic attacks subsided. After November 26 I had a severe panic attack, and after this particular panic attack the next day, I was never the same. I developed symptoms of depression. I couldn’t believe it. I stopped eating and working. Haven’t been able to move much do my usual chores around the house it’s been a complete disaster. I’ve never experienced anything like this. I saw my doctor on December 6. She prescribed anti-depressants which I have not started taking yet after seeing the doctor miraculously all the symptoms went away for a week and I was completely back to normal for about a week and then all of a sudden the symptoms started coming back, and now I have a churning stomach every single morning I wake up my body feels like it ran a marathon, every time I think of something positive that sinking feeling in the stomach activates and won’t allow me to do anything even if I don’t have any negative thinking patterns, I wanna do things but I’m just unable to because of that sinking feeling in the stomach. Any advice with this could be would really help me tremendously. I really appreciate you for responding.

    I have all of the symptoms listed. I struggled with myself from when it was just anxiety and stress to when it turned into major depression and was only recently treated after a failed suicide attempt. My mother didn't believe that I was really sick but thought I was lying. Fortunately, my father believed in me and it was thanks to him that I was able to receive treatment. Things were really bad before I got to see a psychologist. I lost 10kg in a few months, I went from the top scorer in the school to mid-range. And the last time I committed suicide I almost succeeded. I cut my own wrist, the wound was wide and deep because I could clearly see the tendons and had really damaged my blood vessels. My hands and feet turned purple and grew cold as my blood trickled down the sink. My mother was outside screaming at me to die. That night I almost passed out from blood loss before my dad took me to the hospital the next morning. I am currently taking antidepressants. Hope everything gets better. I've been up against this and survived for almost 10 years now. So guys, who are also suffering the same thing, let's try together. My doctor often told me, "Life will only give up on you when you choose to give it up." ❤

    Dr. Marks, currently our understanding of how light impacts our circadian rhythm is not limited to blue light - the melanopsin ganglion cells in our eyes detect the amount of light, not just blue light, and regulates the release of melatonin. So, it is the intensity of light in general that affects our sleep. The best advice is to avoid bright light after 8pm, and make your living space as dim as you can (safely) after 10pm. True red light can be used at higher brightness than other lights before it affects these cells, however. Essentially, blue light blocking glasses do not achieve the effect that you are looking for.

    Thank you for the clarifications and the inclusion of burn out. I was trying to recall the updated name for dysthymia per the DSM-5; I had forgotten, as I was working with the DSM-IV until the Clinical Vignette exam in 2015...then I switched careers! Thinking of returning part-time as so many people need help (and my LMFT is current!).

    I don’t like taking sleep medicine, but I’ve recently adopted the use of Unisom. It doesn’t always help me as much as I’d like, but it helps me get at least five hours of sleep most of the time. Six and a half years ago, I fell off a cliff, spent three months in a coma, and two years relearning to walk. I’ve had sleep problems since coming out of the coma. I’ve also had a whole host of other problems, but the sleep issue is relevant today.

    Oh my goodness Abby, you've really come a long way. Unfortunately brain injuries can really change your sleep structure. Antihistamines like Unisom can work in a pinch to help with sleep, but you have to be careful taking them regularly as they can contribute to slowed thinking or memory issues. These changes can be too subtle to notice in most people, but may be more pronounced in someone with a brain injury. Just something to be aware of.

Here recently I have lost my cognitive skills you know due to the anxiety and depression.. my executive functions are NOT operating in top tier level.. can you please make a video describing how depression and anxiety effects you cognitively and what we can do to gain them back? How long have you seen a patient without them? I need mine asap! Thank you I’m advance ❤

    I have always, and still do meet all of these criteria. Some days I can chug along through days and make it. But most days have been a struggle. And it seems as though my anhedonia has worsened as I’ve reached my 40s. Things I use to at least enjoy doing I feel so dispassionate about and can’t even muster up the mental or physical strength to do them.

    2020-1 was so bad for my depression, even with my medication. My "favorite" part is being congratulated about losing so much weight. I've taken to responding "It wasn't intentional; I was depressed." If that doesn't click, and it rarely does, I add "are you congratulating me for being so depressed I didn't eat [enough] for months?" DH's cpap lets us _both_ sleep much better this last year and a bit. He was noisy.

I've been having a really hard time lately and all I get is "just relax" and "we all have problems". I'm going to try these recommendations asap, I don't want to be in this state anymore. Just one question, what do you think about cbd oil to help you with sleep? One of the symptoms I checked from the list is disordered eating, which comes with GI tract issues, and I don't want the oil to be adding to the issue.
