Hi I have already been here for my health issues and I received very helpful suggestions. Last time I discussed about my depression and anxiety attack issue and most of the experts advised me to do meditation but I found that when I meditate it didn't help me out in this. In mid of this period I was recovering from this but few days back I start feeling low and exhausted and defeated again. Even this time I feel like something is pinning in my heart is it can be due to tension. Please help me in this what can I do. Thanks in advance.

Hi lybrate-user. Neurotic spectrum disorders can present with a variety of symptoms. Some of which have been listed in various books and diagnostic classifications. However, they do not constitute the exhaustive list and thus anxiety and depression can be of several different forms some of which we may not even know. The art of effective treatment is to have a flexible and customized approach. Unfortunately, people practicing one specific technique/system prefer their own ways. But it may not be as simple as that. Therefore, if you do not find help or inadequate support from one way, we should look for another ways. There are many including pharmacotherapies, psychotherapies, meditation based interventions and so on. What helps in a specific case has to be found out. Please visit a near psychiatrist/clinical psychologist and try to find a more suitable/effective technique for yourself under the expert guidance. All the best.
