Psychotherapy drugs
Psychotherapeutic drugs are questionable and controversial.
Benefits for patients suffering from various diseases such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and others, but they are not without negative effects
It can be addictive in some cases, and it is not the only treatment method contributing to recovery, it must be accompanied by psychotherapy sessions and under the supervision of a doctor.
Over time, there have been tremendous advances in the field of psychiatry in the past, which have contributed to the understanding of many aspects of different psychological diseases, accompanied by the emergence of different types from psychiatric medications and antidepressants, which have proven useful in helping millions of sufferers mental illness to life and recovery. But these achievements could not eliminate the common misconceptions ideas
about these drugs
In fact, there are some evidence and observations made by specialists in the field that psychotropic drugs, like other drugs, differ in the strength of their therapeutic effect according to the case
And the diagnosis by the doctor who follows the case, because this is what determines the appropriateness of the drug for the patient’s condition, and the extent of his commitment, as well as the severity and degree of the disease, and factors that help in the success of treatment, such as family support
and behavioral psychotherapy sessions in which the doctor closely monitors the patients.
Are psychotherapy drugs addictive?
There are similarities in some aspects between psychiatric drugs and narcotic drugs, in some cases it may
The doctor needs to raise the concentration of the drug in a certain period, and there are other cases that the doctor resorts to
Sudden cessation of the treatment dose
The explanation is that increasing the dose at times is proportional to the condition and its need for more
Medication, not habituation and addiction, as well as sudden discontinuation that may cause deterioration of the condition due to a defect
In the treatment program for the disease and not because those are withdrawal symptoms.
The bottom line is that most cases can stop taking the drug gradually under supervision
Doctor, this will help improve symptoms
Do antidepressants lead to suicide?
Suicide is the idea that most people with depression have and is considered the main goal of the industry
Antidepressants is to save the lives of these people from the risk of suicide and there are some
Studies that confirmed the positive effect of using antidepressants in reducing the tendency
To commit suicide by controlling depression
So it is unfair to limit antidepressants to that serious accusation, and as we mentioned before
Antidepressants or any type of psychotropic medication should only be taken under supervision
Direct contact with the doctor and the necessity of consulting in case of any suicidal thoughts.
Pharmacotherapy is complementary to psychological sessions
Psychiatric medications are only part of the psychotherapy journey, without the therapeutic sessions supervised by
The psychiatrist must not achieve the expected results, they only relieve pain
Symptoms of a specific illness, such as having difficulty sleeping in a depressed patient
One of the most important roles of psychiatric drugs is their effect on the problem and the secretion of its active substances to help the patient
To restore balance in the brain again.
The role of psychological sessions
Psychological sessions are based on discussion and dialogue between the doctor and the patient, but the matter is not limited to
Just random talk, the doctor knows very well the techniques of dialogue such as when to speak and when to leave
The opportunity for the patient, and the goal is to reach the points that help in the correct diagnosis
Condition and location of the defect to work on fixing it.
Most doctors believe that relying on antidepressants with psychological sessions is the best solution
Effective, because, in general, psychotherapy is a treatment of mental disorders using psychological speech techniques
It occurs after the relationship between the doctor and the patient is established to allow access to negative thoughts and feelings
and overcome.
In the end, the main objective of the psychological sessions is to search for a way for the patient to help him face the pressures he suffers from and work on and adapt to them.
