Suggest Remedy For Mental Ailments
My wife is 47 years old, height 5'3" tall and weighs about 78 kgs. She is a teacher and has been in profession from the last 25 years. From the last one year she has been going thru anxiety, fear, loss of confidence with no expression on her face. She had a major attack last year where she became violent and was doing abnormal activates.
We consulted the doctors who has continuously put her on Olimelt 4.5 mg which she has been taking from the last 2-3 months and takes before sleep. She feels that the medicine is affecting her and with that she does not react the entire day and feels dumb, losing all her powers of thinking and taking decisions.
All the relevant tests were done and the doctors said that this usually happens because of chemical imbalance in the brain.
She was also insulted by her friends in the school and wants to leave the job.
She desperately wants to leave the medicine. Our family/personal life is completely disturbed.
Your expeditious valuable guidance/advise is greatly appreciated.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given symptoms, I understand that your wife had depression episode with manic episodes. That is the reason why the doctor prescribed Olimelt 4.5 mg. It is quite normal to be inactive throughout the day with that medicine. Now if you consult the doctor again, he shall reduce the dose or change the medicine.
In every chance she has all the reason to be happy. Her problem is curable fully. Just comply with the doctor. Cognitive Behavior Therapy works wonders.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
