I would like to speak to somebody who knows enough about mental disorders. What is lunacy?

I get phases and attacks of that then I lose all my senses. i had one half an hour back. They occur many times during a day and some of them are weak while others are very intense.

I lose my control of mind.
I am on Cipralex and alprazolam right now.
I have consulted few doctors and my present doctor has asked me to bear with it.

He says that counseling will not help right now because there is lot of chemical disturbance in the mind that needs to be treated first.

I would love to comment here, but I fear currently, it might do more harm than good.

But I'm not giving up on you friend.

Alexandra, from your post it looks like that you are a professional psychiatrist. If yes, tell me if I should try Lithium? some people have suggested that.

You do as you see fit, das.
But if what I did repeatedly brought about the same unsatisfactory results, then I would ask myself if it isn't worth changing course of action?

Das, would you tell me what you mean by this?

"I get phases and attacks of that then I lose all my senses. i had one half an hour back. They occur many times during a day and some of them are weak while others are very intense.

I lose my control of mind."

Do you mind giving me some examples of what happened and how long it lasted? What all do you experience when these attacks happen? I'll see if I can find out some things for you, okay?

Trish

I am not a psychiatrist, but I cannot see how counselling will not help you. Even if there are chemical imbalances in the brain, you can still benefit from a good counsellor who is prepared to listen, and support, and meet your psychological needs. Someone who can guide you and help you to understand yourself and what is happening to you on a psychological level.

The medical and the psychological are not incompatible.

Can you seek a second opinion Das?

I know what you are saying Ann. I took two more opinions. There are some reasons about this. I had taken counseling but it was not working. Wait, I will write soon.

Trish,

Can I PM you in a day or two?
As such I am not well today.
I would prefer to discuss this on PM.
Is that OK with you?

Alexandra, you really want to help others.
I can see that anxiety in your words.
May god bless you.
Anytime, I need your help, May I ask you?
