My husband and two middle school age children all have ADHD. All 3 are medicated and this does help but not nearly enough. I. I love my family dearly, but often times I just simply do not want to be in the same house with them. On most days, I feel like I am drowning and sinking deeper into depression

I have had counselling since July 2023 and it has now finished. Iam not sure about applying for PIP as I did it for my mother who is 81 and they turned us down in February this year. Life is cruel 💔 Now concentrate on my health and well-being which is not good.

I'm thankful to be part of this group and to hear everyone's stories. My child is 25 years old and living in a different state. When she was in high school and still living with us, she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but also impairment of executive function skills, which probably should

Hi, I was admitted into a MSW program and started recently. I was hesitant to apply because of my mental issues because of this thought: why are u trying to help others when u can not help yourself most days. I have not attended school since 2016, I was ill 2014-2017. And those ordeals I had to face

My physical and mental health improved slowly with treatment, time and counselling. My body has returned to a relatively good state after about 6 months. However, since I went back to work in June, I was getting increasingly more anxious and depressed.

When I was diagnosed with this cancer and looked into this forum for guidance the topic of genetic testing and its potential applications sounded like something I should investigate since I had no info on my biological father’s medical history and my mom died of cervical cancer. My local urologist wanted

My psychiatrist has referred me to a partial hospitalization treatment about 45 minutes away to treat my paralyzing panic attacks. I’m very fortunate that my insurance company will pay. I’m really grateful for this opportunity as medication and counseling have not been enough to help. My problem

As you can imagine we are all traumatised , in counselling and I have made it my mission to change the way that dopamine agonists are prescribed. I have contacted the pharmaceutical company, NHS , Police and my husband is approaching Gamblers Anonymous with our findings.

Counselling through the clinic is only sporadic too. We went away for a break but I really struggled to relax! I keep wondering if I'll ever be a mum and if not, how I will accept this or what life might look like.

How can you get someone to get help, he is 18 so I can't force him, he is not interested in anything doesn't even said words just nod, no friends, this has been going for the last three years I gave him a break moved with other family members thinking things will change, denies suicidal thoughts or hearing

I know I had a tough year, and I'm still grieving (I'm currently getting grief counselling from the charity that runs the hospice my friend was cared at). Did I do this to myself? Did I quit smoking too quickly after trauma?

He needs good counselling; there are a lot of rubbish ones about and a good one with a good family might help. Good luck.

I am finding it hard to find another job and because of this I sometimes don’t eat as I am scared my panic attacks and anxiety will become so bad that I will feel sick and I will embarrass myself.I will be having counselling but that will take months its so hard as I don’t have friends I am an only

more recently I’ve returned to counselling due to a decline in my mental health. After about a month of sessions my counsellor started mentioning PTSD and has asked me to fill in an assessment, it’s scarily accurate. Is this something others have experienced?

This revised patient-centred, evidence-based pragmatic paradigm will include education, symptom tracking, goal-setting, counselling, laboratory tests to screen for nutritional deficiencies, counselling regarding diet, daily physical activity, social health, and strategies to encourage financial stability

I should probably go for counselling but there’s so much to get off my chest and you only get 5 one-hour sessions - the first and last are mainly form filling so I think it’s best not to start opening up if it just takes the lid off and then has to leave it How can they possibly help me in three

At best it’s counselling, which I actually don’t think would help my physiological condition. I don’t even know who could help me even privately? Any advice much appreciated. Thank you.
