Suggest Treatment For Depression
Question: Hi Doctor,
I am currently getting over a series of bad situations in my life and working through depression with a therapist, but I'm going through phases of eating well and being physically active and binge eating anything in sight, even food I'm not allowed to eat (I have celiac disease). I can't control it and fight it so hard but I'm just not sure what to do anymore. Any suggestions.

Brief Answer:
Try relaxation technique
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
In stress and depression, gastric upset increases. In that case, along with antidepressant you can try some relaxation technique like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would help to control stress and keep the drug dose in balance.
Look, stress is part of life and relaxation techniques would help to handle it in natural way. Antidepressant could help you, but at certain extent. You can also try some life style modification technique like spending time with friends, morning or evening walk, sharing your feeling with some one on whom you can relay etc. All these methods would give you extra benefit, but ultimate solution is solve the problem.
In case, you have more query, you can ask.
