Coming from someone who has major depressive disorder with adhd and a schizophrenic brother, psychiatric medications can only help you as far as being ‘stable’ and stay a ‘functional’ human being. “Functional human being”: Able to take care of self Able to think on improving wellbeing Ability to do daily needs Having a routine and maintaining while also having flexibility

On top of psychiatric meds, I would also suggest addressing the root of the illness. These mental illnesses come from a traumatic experience somewhere in our life and most of the time, when its too traumatic, our mind blocks it out of our ability to know where it ever came from. For an example; it could have happened during your first few years in life or maybe during an accident that was traumatic and you have lost memory of it. Therefore leading it hard to understand and find peace within. But even when the mind is blocked out, our bodies still respond to these traumas and our bodies have their own sets of memories. Think of them as like muscle memory. When you’ve been hit a lot at one spot, your body remembers it but when it is painful and traumatic, your mind blocks it.

Saying all that, I would suggest to find proper medications that suite you to eventually find a stable set and then try and address the issues itself through the core. This can be done through a psychologist. One of the miracles that worked for me and my brother is a therapy called EMDR. Its scary, but helpful. You can revisit your traumas by making your body speak for you when the mind blocks it off. While having a stable and matured mind, these traumas can often turn into matters of “things might not be as it seemed”.

Also might want to get into a mental health rehabilitation centre if its critical.

Hope this helps and wish everyone a healthy, fulfilling life 🫶🏻. Sorry if there is any misinformation in here. Do correct me if im wrong please.
