Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have an abusive and narcissistic father, who has also made sexual advances towards me many times. I have never been understood by my family nor had minimum space for myself. I feel anxious when left alone. I could not get on with relationships due to strict family boundaries imposed by my father, whom I idealized in childhood. I have had a history of the following conditions:
Previously, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with stress ten years ago, and with major depressive disorder with anxiety one year ago. I have taken some counseling sessions four years back. It felt good during the sessions; however, I had a similar problem after I stopped going to counseling due to a change of place. Currently, I am not using any medications or going for counseling sessions.
I was given tablet Oliment 5 and tablet Enchorate Chrono MD 200 mg for bipolar disorder, however, these medicines would numb my brain activity, leading to a feeling of no urgency even in urgent situations, and make me feel lethargic, so I have stopped using them nine years back during my examinations. Also, I had a lot of weight gain and hair loss due to the medicines.
I am looking forward to psychological counseling with no pharmacological interventions.
Kindly help.
