RE: Steem-Related Talks Still Happened On The Weekend And Was A Success. See Recording.
okay, but lemme ask especially for my dad, he isn't very mobile. is it possible to get doctors who will agree to see him at home. was you meds all prescibe or where supplements included too. thank you alot
Hopefully you can convince one of the doctors to assist your Dad in his home. The medicine I take was prescribed, not a suppliment. When someone has a severe mental illness and even in some mild cases, suppliments aren't enough. I take an antidepressant (20mg's of Escitalopram) and an antipsychotic (4 mg's of Risperidone) but I am pretty sure my illness is more severe than yours, and maybe even your Dad's. That means both of you can get better if I got better. You can email me the general location of where your from [email protected] and I can search for a doctor on the Internet or you can Google for a "Psychiatrist".
Psychiatrists are the doctors that prescribe medicine for mental health concerns and psychologists are the ones that diagnose and do talk therapy. But I think some psychiatrists also diagnose now too.
Talk therapy is not good enough for severe mental illnesses either, and sometimes isn't good enough for mild cases of mental illness. In cases like these, medicine made specifically for mental health problems should be prescribed (antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabalizers, etc.)
I am glad you got really better, I forgot to say that.
I sent you an email too
Thanks, Terry.
I am lucky to have recovered but I think most of us are capable of recovering. Your Dad is also fortunate to have you as a son.
I emailed you back but it's kind of long. I wanted to share my experience of mental illness so that you could look for similarities between what I experienced and what your Dad is going through.
