Do recurrent episodes of mild depression require lifelong medication?

If you need to take medication, your doctor will definitely recommend that you use it**. Because your depression has a long course of illness but is not severe, it is really not necessary to tell you that you don't need to take medication.

Medications only help you feel depressed, they don't help you.

Add some sports, participate in some recreational activities, and do something you are willing to do. Set yourself a goal for the near future and make yourself work towards it. In this way, on the one hand, it is a diversion of attention, and on the other hand, it relaxes the mood.

You can also develop your own confidence in the process. Communicate and contact with others. Feel that you are not alone.

In fact, the key is your psychological capacity. The most important thing is to rely on yourself.

In fact, depression is very easy to recur, and mental illness will not be cured, and it will only worsen after recurrence. So I suggest that you can reduce the dose of the drug but don't stop it, it's more terrible than the *** depression itself of the drug, isn't it? And even if you stop taking the medicine, it doesn't mean that there is no problem, people just stop taking the medicine to believe that they are healthy, but in fact it is not certain.

Since it is mild, I think I can trust the doctor's advice. After all, there is *** in taking medicine, and you yourself don't think it's too serious.

Depression is mainly bai

It is a persistent mental depression, pessimism, and inability to be happy, and zhi has to think about the bad side of everything in the face of everything, and it is accompanied by the corresponding genus.

Abnormalities in thinking and behavior are a mental disorder, with depressed mood and decreased interest being the main manifesting characteristics. Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive worry, anxiety, fear.

There is a colleague in the preface, who is not in good health and has a bad mentality. He suffered from depression for a long time. Long zhi

It's been 8 years since I've been tormented by this demon. According to the doctor, if depression is reversed more than 3 times, it should be taken for life. And his illness is much more than that, often depressed, feeling that life is worse than death.

But he had to take medicine to relieve his symptoms. Excuse me, how much medication should he take every day for depression like this? For example, Prozac.

The duration of medication for patients with depression should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. According to the patient's condition, different types of medication, different dosage and different effects, the time of taking drugs is also different.

According to the guidelines of the Chinese Medical Association for depression, patients with first-time episodes of depression should continue to suffer from depression for 8 to 12 months after being cured. After the recovery of the second seizure, the patient should continue **12-18 months. Patients with more than three seizures should be maintained for **3-5 years.

Patients who have been taking the drug for a long time should take the drug for a long time or even for life.

Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used for depression**, and after Chinese medicine ** is cured, there is no such long time to take medication.

It's possible**. But don't be misled by this information, because I can also put it another way: there's a good chance it won't.

Generally, the healing is mainly through regulation and medication, and will not **. Depression is more likely to be treated with medication than by medication.

It will have an attack, because it is in the ** stage at this time, the disease has not been cured, and the **:

1. If the depression is severe, it is necessary to take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and there are psychological counseling for depression such as cognition and Morita. Medications** should be administered under the guidance of a doctor. It is recommended to take paroxetine hydrochloride tablets (Leyou), Prozac or Reibila for a period of time.

Consciously slow down the pace of life, deal with all kinds of complicated things calmly and calmly, and don't blame yourself even if you do something wrong, which is conducive to people's psychological balance and also helps to relieve people's mental pressure. Be brave and face the reality, and don't be afraid to admit that your abilities are limited and you can't handle things properly.

2. Make friends, often chat with friends, and heart-to-heart communication or confiding can not only enhance people's friendship and trust, but also make you feel comfortable and eliminate your troubles.

3. Believe that you will be able to reduce pressure, cheer up, feel comfortable, and be healthy, so that you can enhance friendship with a good attitude, work smoothly, and live a happy life.

The future is bright, but the road is tortuous.

Occasional repetitions, please keep faith and patience and persevere!
