Treatment options for psychological disorders Reviews


Newest Review: ... experience but I've been incredibly lucky to be in the position where I can observe and communicate with people to get a holistic understanding of mental illness and how it impacts a person's life. I've researched and researched until all these fancy words were coming out of my ears and I finally found that balance between practice and theory. So I came up with this; a nurse's role in treatment and recovery is to acknowledge, listen, empathise and realise. Opening my eyes and realising just how horrible society can be to the most vulnerable has been the most important turning point in my career. I've had people sneer at my job claiming th... more

For a lady who has a lot to say, I feel like I'm lost for words. I'm a mental health nurse (a newly qualified one, I received my BA in Nursing in November) and I've faced the difficult conquest of working towards 'fixing' someone. With physical illnesses, doctors will often research the illness, give them a tablet, review them and send them home. Obviously this isn't always an easy process but physical illnesses are much easier for the patient, the practitioner and society to deal with because the symptoms are mostly what we can see for ourselves like if you've got a rash, you can see it and identify it easily. If you've got a wound on your leg, you can see it and ... Read the complete review

Unfortunately I've had the 'pleasure' of sampling some of the different methods of treating psychological illnesses (namely depression) - both medication and therapy wise - so I felt that this would be a useful topic for me to write on. As with my other reviews on similar topics, I'll be frank but I will try and avoid 'triggering' comments so please read with caution if you feel you may be affected. Firstly, I must stress that if you're experiencing any symptoms of mental unwellness, please go to your doctor as soon as possible or tell someone you trust. Don't suffer in silence. It doesn't matter if your dogs sisters cousin down the road had a terrible ... Read the complete review

Medication for psychological conditions, as in all conditions, need to be carefully thought out and discussed in person with a trained clinician. While I have had personal involvement in a number of different types of patients and medication, patients must always be carefully monitored and regularly evaluated for their effects. It is well-known that a side-effect of anti-depressants can be, perversely, a greater drive an impetus to harm oneself. What I would like to talk about is the value of talking therapies. I would like to state that while I have a medical background I am offering this account for informational purposes only and not as a supplement a ... Read the complete review

I had my initial prescription of cipramil also known as citalopram when I was 22 years of age and now having gone through a series of anti depressant drugs this one I found to be excellent and non addictive! I took this particular drug for a few years and upped my dose throughout as for severe depression sufferers this drug can sometimes not be quite enough however the mild antidote and calmness it creates can be astonishing and indeed have astonishing results in people with mild depression and panic attacks. What is it? Cipramil is an anti depressant drug and falls into the SSRI category of drug. This basically means it is a selective ... Read the complete review
