How To Treat OCD, Depression And Bipolar Disorder In A Physically Challenged Person?

Hi, my name is Carolyn Lenczewski. I have been diagnosed PTSD, GAD, ADD, OCD, depression and bipolar. I am currently unmediated and it’s a living nightmare. I have 4 small children and a disabled mother I take care of. I’m tired of living this way. Do you have any suggestions? Every psychiatrist I’ve called is over a 2 month wait. Thanks in advance.

Hello

I read your statement and i understand your concern

Its important for you to go to a psychiatrist to evaluate you further as you are suffering from 4 different psychiatric disorder

>PTSD is quite curable and response to medicine such as Sertraline, flouxetine

>GAD, the drugs they will give you for PTSD will also cover you GAD. ie Sertraline is prescribed for PTSD but it is also an anxiolytic and antidepressant drug

>ADHD, for this condition, you doctor will prescribe your some best stimulant such as Methyphenidate or amphetamine.

>OCD: as i stated earlier, medication for PTSD will also cover your GAD, same is the case here, They will cover your OCD too

All you need to consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation
