A member asked:

What would be the best way to treat psychosomatic symptoms due to life long gad, depression & severe health anxiety? im tired of feeling sick & overwhelmed ive had every medical test possible?

Treatment: We physicians insist on a full medical assessment in patients with varied symptoms which seem psychosomatic before we deduce that the patient's main problem is psychological and referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist is advisable. You apparently have medical clearance and should receive treatment for GAD and depression. Treatment may be with medications, psychotherapy and/or stress management

DEPRESSION: It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist can help your medications to work better. Please obtain a second opinion from a Psychiatrist if you have concerns about meds For resistant depression Ketamine infusion is a new approach.
