Which medication for nervousness is best for a woman at 26?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old female. I am nervous most of the time and cry a lot because my dad passed away a month ago. I feel like there is no reason for life now; I have no goals and moments without happiness. I thought about suicide several times, so I need some pills to relax me during the daytime without a sleeping effect.

What should I do?

I will never see my father again, which drives me crazy.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is always painful to lose a loved one. Your symptoms are suggestive of an acute grief reaction to the loss of your dad. Grief causes significant emotional distress for some weeks, but usually, you will heal gradually with support from family and friends.

To clarify, did you experience any emotional problems or mental health issues before your dad passed away?

In that case, the grief can be more intense and prolonged, and you may need professional support like bereavement counseling. Usually, pills are not recommended for normal grief. But if you have any other underlying emotional problems, kindly consult your doctor, who can assess and prescribe according to need.

  1. I will advise you not to isolate yourself during this period.
  2. Try to go out regularly, even if you do not feel like it.
  3. Open up and talk to trusted family and friends; tell them how you feel.
  4. Try to eat daily and sleep well.
  5. Go for short walks and try to do your regular activities.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
