Dear lybrate-user, you have so nicely put up your genuine problem of not able to overcome mental issues which you could with your physical issues. I have a recommendation that you stop expecting things to be completely alright (maybe partial) for yourself just by going out or doing other fun filled activities. I suggest that you take your treatment as a journey of wellness and not just a quick way out of all your mental heath issues. It might take time but you will reach your goal of feeling fit from inside eventually but only with patience and right treatment. Sertraline may or may not be effective, it depends. Tell your psychiatrist about your problems in details and follow his advise genuinely but be patient. All will be well soon.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, you have been through a lot. You have my humblest empathies. I have a suggestion for you, should you choose to take it. Aggression is the way we show our innermost expressions out when we cannot express them verbally or in any other manner. If you go through counselling you will be able to learn to express yourself in a healthy manner, and thus we can find the core problem to your unsatisfied way of living.

Dear user you are talking about taking medicines but how long you would take medicines? Medicines are not a proper solution for your problem. When we are aware about our problem we are able to control but we have to control it in a proper way. You are too young and taking these tablets, it's not good for your physical as well as your mental health. If you don’t want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health, you have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts. But due to certain reasons if you are on antidepressants you have to take some extra care of yourself. I don't know what are the circumstances under which you are taking medicines, I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But I must say don't depend on the medicines and don't make it a habit for future. You need counseling session for a better control on this disorder and medicines. Medicines are not the only solution, counseling is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourself from the side effects of medicines. Please call and discuss your problem in detail and then ll be able to help you better. My contact no is mobile.
