Can Mental Illness Be Cured?
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 09. 2019
- Most disorders both mental and physical are managed and not cured. In medicine we think of cure as a total reversal of an illness to the point where there's no evidence of it and it does not return. the closest we get to this scenario is fixing a broken limb. Or treating a vitamin deficiency by giving a vitamin supplement.
In this video, I discuss the main mental illnesses that tend to come and go over the course of your life over time and talk about how they tend to look over time. These main illnesses are major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia.
The mood disorders like major depression and bipolar disorder, are recurring illnesses where you have episodes that last a while and then resolve. Some people who can have chronic symptoms, but the classic picture is that you have discrete episodes that resolve and return. You have periods in between with either very few of symptoms or no symptoms. When your symptoms go away we call it a remission. When your symptoms return we call it a relapse. So both depression and bipolar disorder are relapsing and remitting illnesses.
Anxiety disorders tend to behave a little bit differently. Rather than being episodic, they tend to come and go in intensity over time. Kind of like a wave that crests and then recedes. So there can be periods of your life where your anxiety can feel unmanageable and you may seek treatment for it. And then there can be periods of time where it's not that bad. The usual is that you don't become completely free of anxiety. It's just that your symptoms are manageable.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder tends to act a little differently from anxiety over the course of your life. Generally, symptoms can improve or nearly resolve once you become an adult. But not resolve to the point of being completely absent. Residual ADHD symptoms can look like being a slow reader, or being disorganized and losing things a lot or not being a good listener. There can be little things here and there that don't cause much dysfunction for you. But if you become stressed because you're going through a difficult period in your life, your ADHD symptoms may be more prominent.
Schizophrenia tends to more look more like a series of plateaus. A person can start out with somewhat mild symptoms that don't always look like schizophrenia. And then at some point the symptoms fully manifest. I did a video explaining schizophrenia. I’ll put a link in the description and in the corner of this video so you want to watch that video after this one. But the usual course with schizophrenia is that once the symptoms fully manifest, a person can remain at that level of illness severity for a while and it can be years. And then at some point there is a decline and the symptoms increase. You may get more medication added, but that seems to be your new baseline and this is more the case the cognitive symptoms. So Instead of having a gradual deterioration which some people can have, there's this stepwise downward trend. The good news about this pattern is that the interval between the steps can be very long like years. So someone who develops the disorder at 25 and lives until 75 may only have three or 4 steps downward.

hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover dealing with depression and anxiety try Nevolly Depression Remover Nerd (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got cool success with it.
I have a question, if you have a mental disorder do you have to have bad days everyday or can you have some ok days? Specifically talking about anxiety disorders because I think that’s what I have, I am also not taking any medication at the moment.
Great video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Millawdon Soundness Program Trick (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning how to feel happy minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 after many years got excellent success with it.
Hahahah lazy psychiatry, it’s all in inflammation in the body. If you would actually do the research and the work maybe psychiatry would be respected!! Psychiatry is a lazy field! Depression is a f’ing part of life , you keep medicating people who don’t need these poisons. Holistic psychiatry is so much better than the BS you try selling!

That means I have managed my depression well. Hope it stays this way until I die.
Hopefully ❤ exercise and mindfulness can really help too
How? plz share
@@rachna0367 I did not skip taking my med. i disconnected myself from social media (for a very long time) and finding a new hobby sometimes helps.

@@shawnleong3605 I was referring to fact that she said there is no cure. They can't be honest and say they don't know but yes she does lack compassion
@@ruxoox6719complete remission is possible?
😂felt the same 😭
I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was 23. I’ve had severe depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember but my psychiatrist nor I ever considered ADHD being comorbid. After seeing a new psychiatrist he wanted me to be evaluated for ADHD. After testing I definitely realized how my functioning is impaired as a result. Now since being on medication for ADHD, my anxiety has lessened enormously my seemingly medication resistant depression is in remission, while on a stimulant. I cried at my last appointment because I’ve never felt so put together and functional
Oh that's awesome. Yes I've had some patients say it may them feel sad to think about how much they missed out on all the time they were not treated for their attention problems. Best wishes.
I think it is important to clarify that the effect lasted for a long time, cool, if it worked for you, unfortunately it is not an experience for everyone (

My life is at a chaos right now and your calm voice (even saying that my problems can relapse now and then) just soothes me so much!!! Thank you so so much! :')
I'm go glad Madhu! Thanks for letting me know. I hope your chaos resolves.
One again a non judgmental and informative video. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome Susan
@@DrTraceyMarksHi Dr.Tracey I need your help please
@@DrTraceyMarkshi Dr.Tracey I need your help please
Thank you so much for this. I've been depressed for my entire adult life and have had anxiety since I was a kid. This has given me perspective as to what I can do and what to expect and how to prepare.
All the best in your journey in life ❤️
I really love how in-depth and understandable your videos are. The quality is so good, too!
Thanks so much Coco. 😊
in short ,
such illness can
be rooted out completly .
Taking medications only controls symptoms it cant cure your problem
So true. I'm on a cocktail of meds for my bipolar disorder type 1 with rapid cycling,my PTSD,and my blood pressure. My meds make me feel human. I have been doing so much better...I went years without meds,and I regret it. Latuda and other meds have made my life better. I mentally got to a point where my emotions took control of everything and every choice. Now I think with more logic. My emotional rollercoaster ruled my life for a good chunk of it. I am thankful for your videos.
You're welcome. I’m glad you’re on a good run now.
I'm so glad you made this video. I've become high functioning, but there's some things I can't do. I've accepted the way my life is, but sometimes I get frustrated that I can't be like everybody else. I try to remember that everybody struggles with something.
Brilliant Tracey I’m glad to find this question being answered so perfectly and clearly 👍
Oh you're so welcome Hellina thanks
There needs to be a cure I'm tired of these special ed kids
Dr. Marks thank you so much for making these videos ❤️ You are really helping a lot of people!
This is such helpful information. Thank you for providing a great resource.
Love the topics get asked this a lot, it’s a fight but worth the fight. Thankfully there are good doctors out there and with some trial and error with meds we can make it through and live the best possible life. Love your channel and the topics you cover. Always find inspiration for my channel here.
Thanks Dr1ven. I would probably say 60% of my content is community driven. I still have a lot of stuff I want to say that people aren't asking about - so I'm glad I have a lot of videos still to make. So if I'm not making them fast enough, you can alway look through the comments for other ideas because people have plenty of them. And yes it's all worth the fight. Thanks for that.
Dr. Tracey Marks you do an amazing job! I’m grateful I came across your channel awhile back!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much! I've been trying to find an answer to this question which surprisingly no one can give a clear answer until I watched this video. This helps me so much and helps my relationships too. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making these videos, Dr. Marks.
You're welcome Scott.
Precise. Clear. Exact. Perfect articulation. Not one irrelevant syllable. No ambiguity. I quite literally understood all of what you intended that I should all the way from the beginning of the video to the end of it. You know how to make maximal use of your natural abilities. Your video presentations are the best that I've seen. Thank you for filling in more of those gaps in my knowledge and understanding. My best to you Dr. Marks.
Wow thanks so much Something You Said. I really appreciate it. 😊
Something You Said Dr. Tracey Marks seems awesome. I wish she was my doctor, but I live in Canada.
I just really like you, you’re so professional and focused and classy. You seem delightful.
thanks a lot em. 😊
I really appreciate your videos, the content, and the simplicity of your explanations are much needed. Thanks again
Thank you Ruth.
Hi, I love watching your videos! Thank you for all the Infos! by the way, can I suggest that you do a video that discusses the distinctions between grief & complicated grief vs depression? how to differentiate between those and when to get help? can grieve leads to depression? what about situational depression? I hope you can take my suggestion into consideration. Thank you so much, Dr!
I really appreciate your efforts, Doc. This channel is helping me, more and more, every day. ✌🏻❤️
Excellent Luc. Thanks for continuing to watch.
Really well done video, thank you for sharing this information! I’m really wondering how this applies in the case of PTSD?
Thank you. And yes it applies to PTSD as well. People can almost completely recover from this but I still think you're left with some residual issues. They just may not cause problems.
Thank You Dr Marks you are truly helping me understand what is happening to me as well as family members.
You're welcome Shelly.
I got here from Medlife Crisis list of Medic videos. Definitely not disappointed. Keep up the interesting video's
Very Cool I didn't realize I got a shout out. thanks for letting me know. Thanks for watching
I don't personally agree with this, but I truly respect the viewpoint in which you've expressed it. Science is literally to study and further inquire. What's today analysis could be tomorrow's trail and error.
Thank you!!
I agree
Thank you very much for sharing this vital information Doctor, I often watch your videos, I've learned a lot thanks to you, cheers from Honduras.
Thank You, Dr. Marks, for being so straight forward with us

@@DrTraceyMarks mam, please give a video on how to reverse side effects of psychiatric medication. Low intelligence, low energy etc. I'm a sufferer and hoping for help
I actually found this to be a helpful way of thinking about my past diagnoses
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WELL-EXPLAINED SYNOPSIS OF STAGES OF MENTAL ILLNESS. I NEVER KNEW THIS...VERY HELPFUL.🙏🏾👍👏🏾
Y'know, Dr. Marks has the eyes and heart of compassion and if more specialists were as heartfelt and compassionate as she, I am of the belief that a lot of even what a psychiatrist does or is supposed to do, has to do with bedside manner which plays into cooperation by the patient and recovery/remission. anyway if there were more people like our host here and my late brother-in-law who was a wonderful psychiatrist and human being . He helped me understand what a therapeutic intervention is and how it can possibly play out and I think if I found the right person I might be amenable because especially with the depression and haven't been untreated for so long it's gotten worse the episodes get worse and my ADHD you know that's like you're born with something that's going to have you commit social suicide on occasion it's very misunderstood and when I was growing up in the 60s it was you were just slotted into slow learner groups and the educational system. It was quite demeaning and I got bullied alot. I would definitely love to permanently be off the roller coaster where the conductor left his post indefinitely if you know what I mean 🙄
I suffered anxiety when I thought my father had died. He never died. Changed me totally and caused me serious mental health
@@yellowsapphire3156 thanks.some days are good and some days are not so good.
Hi Dr. Marks, thank you so much for the great videos you put out! For mental health disorders that are properly managed, what do the later years of life look like for us? Bipolar 1 in my case. I have heard that mania and depression can be much worse and that there can be major problems from a lifetime of taking medication.
Sometimes you can become less responsive to the medications so you need more changes or have more episodes that are hard to treat. However sometimes people can coast along with very minor symptoms and remain on the same medications for years. so it really depends on the person. I do think taking good care of your body with diet and exercise and sleep contribute to how things look as you go along.
The only problem that I have with this point-of-view. Is that an increasing number of people are being diagnosed as psychiatrically ill. Primarily due to the Coronavirus we have diagnosed almost 40% of the population with some form of mental illness and now we're telling them that the condition will never really go away it'll just go into remission. I feel like this point-of-view breeds hopelessness. In general I feel like treating depression like a disease in the non-severe forms ignores the societal inputs that lead so many people to become depressed.
40%??? From where you got the info
What a great video, thank you Dr
I always look forward to viewing your videos!!!
Thank you Nurse-student! I still have a lot more things to talk about. I just cant get it all out fast enough.
@@DrTraceyMarks ☺
You are amazing, Dr. Marks. Thank you for the hard work you do for these videos. I currently dealing with lexapro withdrawal and it’s messing with me so much. I know there is hope for me though. Thank you again 🥰💕
Hi Dr Marks- can you do a video about the link between PCOS/hormonal imbalance and depression/anxiety? It’s so common but often isn’t addressed by psychiatrists in my experience. Thank you!
Thanks Amber for the suggestion. I’ll add it to my list.
Hi Dr Tracey, I have PTSD as a result of a traumatic birth. I had an episode of extreme anxiety and depression and have been put on 150ml of Zoloft. Am I doomed to feel this way forever in 'remission', or will I be able to come out of it after some time?
I don't want to feel this way forever, and I'm terrified that it'll keep coming back. Please help!
My mom’s therapist told her she doesn’t have ocd anymore. This was a diagnosis my mom had for many years and strongly identified with. My mom is currently diagnosed with anxiety, but I still see ocd aspects, as does she. Her therapist claimed ocd can go away. I’m confused. I always thought it was more of how you described where her ocd is in remission but, due to her history, it’s possible it could resurface at some point.
Very well done Doctor Marks, thank you
This is why it's important to know your triggers, and to manage yourself as well as you can. Learn about your condition and try to stay on top of it and nip it in the bud where possible. Know how you function and what works for you in keeping yourself well.
I wonder,
is "unwilling or uncooperative in a therapy" included as a part of manifestation of mental disorder? Thank you for your videos, I really like it :)
Good question. I'd like to hear an answer.
Really helpful. Thank you Tracey
You’re welcome
I like this channel. Very professional.
She is workkng with big pharma!mentall ilness can be cured especially anxiety and depression!
its really break my heart, im suffering from depression anxiety and bipolar. i was okay 2 months ago after i get threatment then something bad happen again and it triggers me. i want to see my psychologist but my parents are not supportive about it. they really want their kid to be sane without doctor needed but the one who make me crazy is them
I’m sorry you don’t have the family support that you need.
i thank God i discovered you i have learned so much
Thanks Dr Marks. Your videos are very informative X.
You're welcome Lorraine!
Dear Dr. Marks
I love your channel and I watch each and every video you post. They're so helpful! 💛 If I could request a topic for the new video, that would be Medication Resistance and Tolerance Build-up /or something along the lines/. I recently got prescribed Zoloft to help with my anxiety and depression, and it works pretty great. However, I'm afraid I might build up tolerance to it someday. I would love to learn more about this, especially if you can give stories or examples from your own practise.
Much love, Rory 💛
Thanks Rory. Thanksnfor watching all of my videos. This is a great suggestion. I'll work on it
Can untreated major depression or post partum depression can develop into schizophrenia or bipolar???thank you
Hello! I have a question. My mother who is bi polar and medicated living happily for year's. Closing in on her 70's, her doc has reduced her medications and she has been stable for years now. Can female post menopause help mental health? She says her body naturally feels calmer (she has always been more manic than depressed).
Yes males and females can "settle down" some with age (but not everyone),. So I'm not sure if it's the reduction in hormones or not. Certainly if she had hormonal fluctuations in her symptoms like some women do, menopause can make that better.
love your videos! Can you do one on developmental trauma disorder?
Hi Dr Tracy,
Thankyou for your videos they're helping me during a difficult time
I am currently starting treatment for major depression/possible bipolar 2 disorder and I was wondering if it would be possible to persue and a career in psychology/psychiatry with this illness. Going through these trouble times has resparked an old love of psychology, psychiatry and helping others through life's difficulties, but I was worried that there would be issues with me treating people if I myself had a diagnosed mental illness.
Yes Having a mental illness doesn’t keep you from being able to work in the medical field even psychology or psychiatry. What gets in the way is how well you are doing with your illness. If you’re always having episodes that are untreated or not responding well to treatment, that is what will make it hard for you to practice. Medical boards just want to make sure that you are well enough to treat patients. But having a diagnosis doesn’t keep you from being able to practice.
Hello Dr. Tracey, my mother has a mental illness for 20 years but we never took her to the doctor nor tried a medication, now we would like to take her to the doctor- do you think it will still improve?
Off topic, but your curls look so good in this video. What kind of hair moisturizer do you use?
Lol. I use this stuff called Maui Moisture curl smoothie. I also use the hair butter. I used to use Miss Jessie's stuff but it made my hair very dry. You can see that in older videos. Either my hair was a dry fro, or it was hard and crunchy. Now it's soft and moist.
@@DrTraceyMarks Thanks ❤️
But why?
Hi
Can I ask for your help
Do your recommend lexapro for anxiety
Only medication that works for me is tramadol
I’m concern of lexapro due to side effects
Thank
Thank you that was very well explained
Thank you Dr Marks, this was helpful. Although, I have to say, It was disheartening. I am in remission following becoming medicated and having social interventions in the prodrome stage. Every day is a battle in my brain to take my meds because I feel I am cured! It is so easy for me to think of my meds as just providing all these side effects and not actually contributing to maintenance and treatment.
I'm in the same boat as you were when you posted this.
I'm doing well! I feel fine! I've felt fine before without medication. I have been misdiagnosed. Somehow I mislead someone. I'm not the same person as I once was. I'll bargain somehow with my doctors. I'll show them I'm well.
No matter what they'll want to keep me on meds. To whose benefit though? Mine? Theirs? Big Pharma's? Am I not just having a human experience same as anyone? Are these labels meant to trap me and others like me?
I'm not too far gone into paranoia land but it is stressing me out. I can label these thoughts as prodrome and be aware of how my perceptions change over time and I know the word "Anosognosia". But I want so badly to not have to take meds. I want someone who I trust to evaluate me and say "There was a mistake. You're fine. You've always been fine. You can stop your meds and you'll BE fine. Sorry about all the fuss." I wouldn't question it.
Thanks for listening to me try to explain my feelings.
Thank you for your videos. I'm studying to be an educator...My question is: is unspecified personality disorder considered a mental illness in the same way as other personality disorders? Because I read in the Internet it can't be actually considered a personality disorder
I'm grateful for this video, ma'am. It's more informative.
Dr. Tracy i just found your channel, and grateful for the helpful videos, can you make a video on how to cope with living with a relative with schizophrenia/ mental disorders who is constantly relapsing because of unavailability of finding proper treatment and baker acting/ refusal to live in assisted living or seeking counseling options have been exhausted. Thanks!
Hi Linda. Thanks for watching my channel. That’s a very hard topic to make a video on because how you deal with a mentally ill relative varies from family to family. There’s not one answer. And trying to force treatment is a topic that doesn't have an easy answer
OMG Dr the way you explain info is the real deal cuz I’m student And it really helped me understand the easiest way possible thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Hello mam! I am from India. Do you offer video consultation in India. I am mentally ill and currently on Paxil and Amisulpride. May I get your treatment over Skype?
Tracey, I had another question for you. Say if I stopped taking Venlafaxine abruptly, and got withdrawl. Does the withdrawl signify that Venlafaxine is metabolized from my body?
No it’s a reflection of the change in your receptors and your body‘s reaction to the drug being absent.
I know I’m not alone but why do I feel so alone...
Hi Dr. Tracey Marks, thank you a lot for your videos,
i'm medical student, and you helped me a lot to understand psychiatric disorders more and more.
I want to ask you about Bipolar disorder, does it associate with violence or self-harm or not? it's associated or it's symptom or there is even any relation between them or not...?
It's not really associated with either of those. A person can become very labile and irritable or angry, but that’s not the same as violent.
if you haven’t already seen it, here is a video where I discuss the details of hypomania and mania czcams.com/video/jMleT_rj0xY/video.html
At the risk of sounding negative, your video can possibly take the lives of many people who are battling with mental illnesses, such as the victims of clinical depression. Hope sustains life and miracles do take place. I have seen people successfully gaining long term recovery and never relapsing again throughout their lives, even after suffering for almost a decade. With all due respect, I must say that this is not how you are supposed to create awareness or treat people when it comes to mental illnesses. There are certain things that you have to hide from your patients for their betterment and to give them hope, even if it is at the cost of lying. Mentally challenged people need hope to survive, not awareness programmes that make them suicidal.
As a 'mentally challenged person', I can see where you're coming from, and when I was suicidal, it might have been dangerous to have that last crumb of hope taken away from me. Maybe the video could have put a little more focus on the positive side, that although these disorders can't be cured, a good quality of life *absolutely can* be acheived. That said, I actually need totally honesty from mental health professionals. I need to know that I can trust them completely, even if they have some hard truths for me. Would you expect an oncologist to spare their patients from the truth that there was nothing more that current medical science could do for them, and that they had, lets say, only 6 months to live? Of course there's always room for a miracle, but better to focus on managing the symptoms and getting the best quality of life possible, rather than waiting for a total cure that may or may not, but probably won't happen.
“Mentally challenged” is the wrong term. “Mentally challenged” refers to people with developmental or intellectual issues.
Can adjustment disorder with depressed moods or anxiety be cured or would someone who's had one episode still be more likely to have others?
Hey Tracey, the idea if you get high blood pressure from being overweight, it means you'll always have that tendency makes sense. Your videos strike me as very clear and straightforward. However, I'm curious about how deep working with one's tendencies can go. For example, if someone were to have high blood pressure then lose weight, then work on learning to process emotions because they might have anger issues that contribute to it... Then maybe change their diet and, entire lifestyle... maybe re-establish healthy magnesium levels (isn't it like 80% of people are deficient?), detoxify their liver (liver supposedly correlates to anger according to Chinese Medicine).... Reduce inflammation in their bodies... Improve their communication skills and thus their relationships... If one were to put all this together (and surely there's even more) and combine it with the idea we can even change the way our genes express themselves through epigenetics, it might start to look like one can indeed treat high blood pressure as effectively as they could 'cure' a vitamin deficiency. It would just take longer and more work. Perhaps it's just my delusion, but it sure seems to piggyback on what you're saying and also make sense.
I have a question for Dr. Tracey Marks. I’m 47 yrs old and a month ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. So my question is do I always have to be seeing a psychiatrist every month to get my medication? Since I have no health insurance and I have to pay from my own packet.
I’m actually happy and glad that I found out that I have ADHD because my life has improved a lot and the med is like a booster for my brain to function well.
Thank you for all your videos and valuable information you share with us! 💕💕💕
People have different policies about how often you need to go back for appointments. some doctors will go every three months. So it definitely depends on the doctor or the clinic policy. I’m glad the medication has changed things for you.
See if there are any facilities that may be free or to low income people. I have free counseling and medication. Ask for help! :)
Dr. Tracey Marks Thank you!
Moonturns Thetides Thank you for your advice!
Well I was told that all forms of neurosis (maybe except for OCD) are invertible like you get back to the state before your very first panic attack showed up (like in my case). I suffered from some severe one's but it did not led me to develop panic disorder etc. Neurosis is a functional disease of the CNS with anxiety being its main trademark symptome.
Two more questions to Dr. Marks:
Can a vitamine B6 or D deficiency OR celiac disease cause panic attacks that eventually leads up to anxiety symptoms ?
If it is the real cause of such distress or symptoms, are we than talking about a mental disorder OR mental symptoms only in this case ? Like we know the real cause of those symptoms that also should be treated by a specialist in the first place.
A bit sad to hear this, however have grown to trust what you say and to focus on the beneficial things such as management of anxiety. Thanks!
You’re welcome Shawn. Thanks for your trust. 😊

Can you talk about medications/treatments for treatment resistant depression?
And medication/treatments for chronic agoraphobia/generalised anxiety?
Thanks. 😊
What would be your expectations regarding to gene editing with tools like crispr? mental illnesses would go away forever, however I don't know how far we are from this.
Maam i got medical treatment for panic disoder for 8 months and just 2 months back i sucessfully got off through meds but i just felt panic again for 1 day and other day i was normal . I want to ask if its normal to have these in life ? Please let me known 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dr Marks, what are your thoughts on Robert Whittaker’s book, “Anatomy of an epidemic”? He concludes that long term treatment for mental illness is worse long term for patients on medication than without. (Depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia).
I enjoy and learn from your videos
Hi. Thanks for the information. Isn't it possible to deactivate the bipolar genes? I was reading about epigenetics the other day.
Maybe that's in experimental phase - I'm not sure what kind of work is being done that way in mental health. If it is, it's not at the stage of being a recommended treatment.
Hi Dr.Marks.I have a question.Is it possible with depression to go off prescription meds.(I am working with a psychiatrist) and am in therapy.I have been working very hard with both of them.
Yes it is. Some people can not have a return of their depression at all while others can have a relapse of depression but can go years before it comes back.
You speak very clearly !
Maybe it's a stupid question, but does "having no symptoms of depression" mean being happy? I don't think so, but how to differanciate a normal sadness with a sadness staying from a previous depression, without being as intense?
Speaking to the experience of feeling sad v the experience of being depressed.
Sadness is an emotion, and you can often figure out what triggered it.
Depression is more an absence of, or inability to feel, joy/happiness - and actually the best description of it I've ever read is what dementors (from Harry Potter) do to people.
@@Serpentrose I understand what you say, how the depressed sadness is more an absence of feeling... I've been depressed for the past few years, and I'm feeling better now but still feel like I'm empty, sad and angry all at the same time... I can't figure out if it's the normal sadness or the rest of depression sadness!
@@Flo-cy4xc Good luck, here's hoping you can figure out, and get, what you need to feel better.
For myself I can tell the difference, as my depression is marked by a desire to withdraw from everything while sadness wants to be shared.
@@Serpentrose that's a clear way of seeing it... I like it! I think I'm going to search how to differentiate my two sadnesses like this :)
Serpentrose
Nicely stated. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Allogy, flattening, total isolation in the room, cognition ... I take 6mg cariprazine + 9mg of invega and continue with the allegiance and without saying a word, would someone ask me how to end this? some efficient medicine at once?
Is. Hydroxyzine safe to take for anxiety?
Hi dr Tracey Mark's I just been diagnosed with schizoactive disorder bypolar type can you tell me about quietapine medication thankyou
Watch this video I did on Schizoaffective. czcams.com/video/jc4R8lWTl8Y/video.html
I'm not sure if I talk specifically about quetiapine though. It's a good drug, but can cause a lot of weight gain.
Hi Dr tracy, I have a question... I’m seeing a psychiatrist and she is also a therapist , ¿it’s it a good idea to see a therapist beside my psychiatrist? She is already giving me therapy but it’s it okay if I have another therapist that is not a psychiatrist?
We call it split treatment when you see a separate therapist and psychiatrist. There’s advantages to this set up but if your psychiatrist does therapy, it can be more convenient to have your treatment all in one place by one person. sometimes it’s better to see a separate therapist if you need a specific kind of therapy that your psychiatrist doesn’t do like cognitive behavior therapy or interpersonal therapy, etc.
I had/ have post concession syndrome and it has increase my depression and anxiety I am doing classes to help deal with it but I hate taking medication on Zoloft and want to reduce my use of this medication is that ever going to be possible.
Watch joe rogan and dr.mark gordon podcast it talks about brain injuries and mental illness and how to heal them by using TRT
Sometimes I notice I feel better around this time of year. I don't feel that doom and gloom. I always lower my medicine on my own. Can I be right? Like the gloomy weather cheers me up? btw @Dr. Tracey Marks , you are amazing as usual.
Thank you AragonCharm! Usually the sunlight has a mood lifting effect. But everyone's different. Maybe the gloomy weather is calming in some way.

I always relapse whenever my meds run out what can I do to prevent the relapse coz its always worse than before?Thanks Dr Marks.
You can build into your schedule overlap between Your prescriptions injured doctors appointments. You get 3 refills, when you get that last one filled, that's a reminder to make your next appointment if you don't have one already. Even better is it make you next appt at them time of your current appt.
@@DrTraceyMarks thanks
Hello, I don't know if I misunderstood this videos but this video gives me anxiety and hopeless, I had mixed anxiety/depressing disorder and medication is working very well , so this means this anxiety won't decrease over time ? I'm really worried now even when I felt better just for what you said
Whether you take medication and not your anxiety can decrease or increase over time. It tends to come and go. If you're on medication feel better, you don't know if your anxiety has gotten better on it's own of if it's only due to the medication. So I will have patients periodically taper off the medication when things are going well to see if they can go without it for a while.
What about the actual physical damage that happens to the brain because of clinical depression? Can be reversed to at least a certain degree?
What is the outlook/prognosis and what can be done for Executive Dysfunction, inattentive type ADD, that appears to be escalating in adulthood? This seems like an outlier based on your categorical descriptions.
Are there any natural remedies for depression besides Mediterranean diet for those ppl that want to avoid side effects
You are so to the point that there is no cure. I gave up on curing my bipolar disorder. Medications only manage my symptoms.
ok so what's the case with personality disorders such as bpd ?
