What are some over-the-counter meds for anxiety or depression?

I hear Prozac is good, but I think you need a prescription for that.

I have an extremely important interview next week and I need something to knock the edge off. Is there anything that I can pick up at a Meijer or a Wal-Mart or a Walgreens that can help me out with any anxiety/depression/mood problems?

There is a homeopathic remedy that is not a medicine as we know them, but a remedy that works with your body to heal itself. It’s called Calms Forte from Hyland labs, and you get it at most pharmacies and especially health food stores. I’ve used it frequently and can recommend that it will help you calm down. What might be even better for you is to work off some of that anxiety – go for a walk every day, get just a bit of exercise. It’s not a bad thing to be nervous and anxious, just when it gets out of control is when you need a little help sometimes. And start taking deep breaths – when you get anxious it is common to actually start holding your breath, so right now, start taking some deep breaths and that will help calm you a bit.

How do i cure depression and anxiety?

When i am around people i feel nervous, depressed and anxiety but when i am not i do not feel it too much
Ps: i am 18

Depression is one of the worst things in the world. Infact 2 out of 4 people suffer from it, and you can never hear them admitting that they have it. Look around those busy cities, new york , london , tokyoe , ontario, any major big fast pace cities , they are millions who sufffer from it.

I think the reason this world is getting more people who are depressed, its bcoz of the system. We were not meant to work this fast paced life, with high epxpectations set by family and school, or work place. Everyone is programmed to think to be somebody or valued in society , u got to be soo goood at something . Hence we find ourselves hitting the wall , where hope is never found. Basically , when you have no hope , tried everything in ur reach , then depression waves begin.

You first get the sypmtoms, panic attacks , sweating , feeling moody which at times cause u to avoid social places. This is called social anxiety . Personally , i find social anxiety the deadliest form of disorder. It literary robs ur life like no other thing i have come across. yea its an early stage of social anxiety , it gets uglier as time goes by without attacking it head on. The more situations you train ur mind to dodge, the more your mind is programmed to act defensive when your out at social places.

I suffered this for over 10 years, but am getting a hang of it, No one should lie to you it is going to be easy , only you will manage to work it out.

I hated relatives big parties out, i hated buses and trains, i certainly hated libraries, i hated queieng up on super markets, i hated almost anything to do with human beings around me. It a problem tht started when i got bullied for my teenage odour, like i used to imagine that i smell in publics, thinking tht my armpits wrecked badly. Eeverytime i went out i would sweat and fear it offending others. I tried bathing three times a day , and used all types od deodrant and perfumes, but it never worked. It was a problem , that wasnt phsyically rooted, but my twisted mind .

How did i work through my social avoidance, well….
My first and foremost step was to check in to a doctor who prescribed me citalopram 40 mg and diazepam [ which sometimes is called vallium else where } 5 mg. I think the diazepam worked wonders , coz it hits the nervous system responsible to make u nervous, and have panic attacks when u are in social places. It calms u down , u feel ur ownself so calm tht u can try to handle tasks tht u wouldnt manage. Take the diazepam only when ur out in those situations, dont take it daily like the citlaopram. The citalopramm helps to bring ur serotonin and endorphin levels to balance, those hormomes when ur depressed and anxious , they are so low tht u feel very uncomofrtable, tht is why u feel like u are almost dying, or u fear alot for no good reasons.

THEN MY NEXT MOVE Was to tackle a problem head on , for example going to supermarket. I would start off with the smallest thing, pehraps, just enter in , see around the fruits isle , and walk out again . Then when two hours got over walked back in , take another isle, walk around nd come out, i made sure by the end of the day i finished all isles, and my awarded myself by buying a snack and paying it out on cash counter.

The earlier you tackle the things u avoid the better. The trick is to find ways to re programme ur mind from fearing such places. Citalopram and dizepam will help u to calm u down , and also eat plenty of salmon fish and whole nuts like almonds and cut on ur junk food, take instead oats poridge, eat whole meal bread, take rice, potatoes, plenty of vegetables, cut processed sugar . Such measrues will make u into a happy bunny.

I am now free from this mental enslavement, i wish u were here and i help to work with u , coz i know how bad this thing can rob ur life , u will dodge friends and many things tht are good to ur social life .

Here is my email if u need more help

Good luck dea

Does having problems like depression and anxiety make it harder to connect with any spiritual or psychic side?

i was told by someone that it disconnects your control over your soul or something like that. I couldnt decide if i should ask this here or in philosophy so i guess i did here.

No, it doesn’t disconnect your control over your soul. That’s not possible. What it does is lower your vibration, so that connection isn’t as easy. Connecting with the spiritual takes a certain frequency, takes being in a certain frame of mind and spirit that’s difficult to achieve when you’re depressed. When I’m feeling positive, full of love, loving life, etc, I can hear, feel and see the angels perfectly. But when my depression kicks in or I’m otherwise feeling down and negative, they disappear off my "grid" entirely.

And I agree, connecting with the spiritual while you’re depressed or anxious isn’t a good thing to do anyway, b/c as someone else said, like attracts like.

What is the connection between gluten diet & anxiety,depression & ADD?

Someone said that, he has been gluten free for a week and, it is amazing how he feels.
The person also said, he used to suffer with crowd anxiety, depression & ADD but, over the weekend, he went to a crowded mall, and felt no anxiety.

Do you think the anxiety was caused by the gluten in his system?

Thanks for responding .

I’ve never heard this.

A lot of people claim to feel better on a gluten free diet, but the mind can make us believe what we want it to. If you’re told that this pill is going to make your headache go away, it probably will. Even if it’s just a sugar pill.
What was he eating before and eating now? A diet of cheese burgers and pizza wont make anyone feel good, but if you cut that out and eat a naturally gluten free diet (rice, fish, veges, lean meat, fruit) then you most likely will feel a lot better.

It’s only been a week, he hasn’t been on the diet long enough to notice any of these things really.

Self-Heal Anxiety & Depression – Master Sha Teachings from DIVINE TRANSFORMATION

Listen as Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha discusses self-healing, how each organ has a soul and how to transform your soul, body and mind blocks for Divine Transformation.

Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha is a soul leader, an extraordinary healer, and a divine servant. Trained as an MD in China and a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in China and Canada, he created Power Healing and Soul Mind Body Medicine to combine the essence of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine with ancient energy and spiritual healing secrets from China.

The founder of the Institute of Soul Healing and Enlightenment, Dr. Sha is a grandmaster of many ancient disciplines, including tai chi, qi gong, feng shui, and the I Ching. He was named Qigong Master of the Year at the Fifth World Congress on Qigong. An inspired guide in his Soul Power Series of best-selling books, TV programs, and other teachings and services, Dr. Sha says, “Heal and transform the soul first; then healing and transformation of every aspect of life will follow”. In 2006, Dr. Sha was granted the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission Award for his humanitarian efforts.

I consider Master Sha’s healing path to be a universal spiritual practice, a journey into genuine transformation.
