Q. What is the treatment for generalized anxiety disorder?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You may have a major depressive disorder with mood swings due to menstruation, but you are less likely to have bipolar disorder. There is non-pharmacological management for it, and you should try to follow the below suggestions to deal with it. It will help you.

• It would help if you exercise 30 to 45 minutes daily. It will uplift your mood.
• You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily, sit in one place in a comfortable position, and try to concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to control your thoughts. It will help you to relax.
• You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk foods.
• You must drink enough water.
• You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family.
• It would help if you spent time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments.
• You should sleep enough for eight hours daily.
• It would be best if you avoid tobacco or alcohol, or any substance abuse.
• Be bold and confident.

I suggest doing investigations such as complete blood count, thyroid profile, vitamin B12, and vitamin D3.

I hope that you get your answer.

Thank you.
