Suggest Remedy For Panic Attack, Depression And Confused Mind

Hello,
I had a panic attack about three weeks ago stemmed by the idea of mind control and now, I have been unable to work or go to school. I am concerned about my mental health because I keep questioning reality, everything, whether I am here, what is the meaning of life, whether we are in something like the matrix? Part of me realizes this is illogical, the other part is very much afraid it might be true. I have depression and am wondering if this is a symptom of this? Will it pass?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In depression, sometime, patients get idea of persecution and it is part of it. In your case, idea of control or avoid belief is part of depression. In that case, you need a antidepressant with low dose antipsychotic like aripiprazole. It would help to control such kind of thoughts. Better to consult a psychiatrist for treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
