It's common to feel scared or anxious after receiving a new diagnosis, especially if it involves medication. It's important to remember that every person's experience with medication is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. If you have concerns about medication, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider about your specific concerns and any potential side effects. They can provide you with more information about the benefits and risks of medication and help you make an informed decision about your treatment options.

It's also important to remember that medication is just one aspect of treatment for many mental health conditions. Other forms of treatment, such as therapy, lifestyle changes, and self-care practices, can also be helpful in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being. It's important to work with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

Remember, seeking treatment for a mental health condition is a brave and important step in taking care of your well-being. It's important to prioritize your own health and well-being, and to work with your healthcare provider to find the best treatment approach for you.

You'll be fine, take it from someone that has taken prescribed medicine from assumptions of certain conditions, never went to a doctor for a diagnose and I would still take medications that were prescriptions after diagnosing myself, I think you'll be fine.

Diagnosed in general? Nice to put a name to the issue but I largely didn't care. A label didn't help me, it didn't make my life easier, knowing something was wrong with me.

I stopped taking anti-depressants years ago. I found they only make it worse. I remember i got prescribed something once and i was laughing at random things for no reason. Those medication can make you crazy. Stay away from them!!! You don't wanna end up a psycho when your older. Instead, go exercise, find a hobby, take a walk, eat healthier, go travel the world and see things. Don't just sit at home and complain about your depression and anxiety.
