Not a DIY project: Please don't try to treat yourself. The conditions you name are not easy to manage even for trained folk - so definitely get assistance. It's important and true! Best wishes for best health!

The choice: of such medications should be the decision of a Board Certified Psychopharmacologist ( Psychiatrist with specific interest in Psychopharmacology) and is not (my opinion only) within the purview of the Health Tap Platform. (You may receive some information about the drugs however) Again my opinion only! Good Luck in any case and BE WELL Dr Z
