Experiences with

Panic disorder and panic attacks

I have PTSD so and I’m not sure if this has anything to do with it but there are certain times when I haven’t slept a lot or I’m not feeling good, I tend to get very jumpy and sensitive to loud sounds.

I'm having a awful year as far as suicide attempts, and hallucinations. My doctor started me in a different antidepressant, and it's made my mind alot worse than ever before. I think my suicidal thoughts have become worse instead of better. The doctors office is closed the next 3 days.

I’m new here so please be kind. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 about two months ago and I’m starting to think Lamotrigine is not enough. Has anyone ever tried electro-convulsive therapy? During a stint in a psych ward I saw this treatment help others but I’m honestly afraid of it.

A very big thank you to the lovely people named above who have responded to my query. I will read through all the suggestions and links, making lists so as to explain clearly to my granddaughter. However, she is never keen to see a GP and neither is her father. I will do my best in explaining they
