Hi,

Thanks for writing to us,

Since you say that you feel low because of your family environment, you may be having a problem in coping with situations in the right manner. If this is the only reason that makes you feel like that, then only medications is unlikely to help you out. The primary cause of the problem will have to be addressed. These include non-pharmacological treatments like coping skills training, with a detailed family assessment where your family will need to participate as well. Regarding stopping medicines, only a doctor who examines you in person would be able to advise that. If it is decided by the doctor to stop medicines then you can definitely lead a normal life.

Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
