Suggest Treatment For Depression, Anxiety And OCD Symptoms

My daughter has had depression in the past and anxiety and Ocd. She is having marriage difficulties and doesn t believe anyone can help them?. She refuses to see a counsellor, doesn t believe they will hear her needs & willonly be on her husbands side. See him as the nice guy & her as the crazy woman. Her husband has been lieu get about issues in their marriage for a long time and using pornography which has hurt her deeply. She is so angry and has lost a lot of weight and has kicked her husband out a number of times why he has not kept to agreements. She is great full for our help but was extremely a angry with us when she first had her break don after being bullied in the workplace by her manager as a new journalist. How can we help? She is very smart and has written articles on mental health issues... There is nothing she doesn t know & nothing she feels will help.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

The medicine you need is probably escitalopram which is an antidepressant and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Ideally, they should be started in consultation with a psychiatrist.

If you are having the symptoms of low mood, weeping spells, poor concentration, decreased interest in life and sleep/ appetite disturbances you can restart the medicines but continue for 6 months when you feel absolutely fine (not total 6 months) and then gradually off them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
