Hello doctor,

I have been dealing with undiagnosed depression for the past eight years. I went to a psychologist for the first time yesterday after getting tired of urges to self-harm, kill myself, disappear, etc. I have difficulty staying asleep, but that is not always the case. I know how to control my emotions and always discuss my problems with someone. I do not know how it will help me feel better.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. I think your treatment is going in the right direction. You already told your psychologist that you would prefer medicines over therapy, and now you are about to get them. The doctor will discuss the medicines, their mechanism of work, and their side effect, and after your confirmation and permission only, they will go ahead with a particular medicine. So don't worry medicines will help you to get over of this

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
