Dealing with pain anxiety depression
Dear Mrs, the symptoms you have experienced are common and treatable. If not treated adequately they can worsen your depression and vice-versa. There are several treatment combinations that can be very effective, but it seems like your previous Dr already did the testing and found a combination that works.. It sounds like the medication doses are adequate and only as needed. Find a Dr who is willing to communicate with your previous physician to get an adequate history and feels comfortable managing depression complicated by pain. READ MORE

Looking for help with my teenage daughter
A therapist may help her understand the transition she is going through and the reasons for her behavior and guide in better decision making at present and the future. If you have any concerns, a psychiatric evaluation can always rule out any major diagnosis that may need treatment and if not needed, then refer her to the most appropriate therapist. Medication should be used only when absolutely needed, but not delayed due to fear of medication. In some cases, it's the best first option. READ MORE
