I did ended up in the phsych ward in jail
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I'm allergic to most medications, so I've had to learn how to sustain with vitamins and exercise. However, you can get acupuncture, I hear that works wonders, along with stone therapy where they place warm rocks to relax you as you enter a calmer state of mind. Be sure to drink lots of water and take vitamins, because without proper specific minerals you can have a panic attack.
I haven’t been medicated for my depression and anxiety, still hard to deal with, but I get through
I’ve stopped my medication after 20 plus years don’t feel any different but I have started using CDs for mental illness and it seems to be helping more than the tablets did I’ve had depression for 30 years or more and at my age I don’t think it’s going to disappear compleaty but one can hope xx
I would'nt try without meds, too much suffering! X
