I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way—it sounds very heavy to carry for so long. Anxiety and depression can take time to fully heal, but with consistent treatment, therapy, lifestyle changes, and support, many people do regain their focus and feel much better over time. Please consult your psychiatrist regularly, and if you ever feel like harming yourself, reach out immediately to a trusted family member, your doctor, or a suicide helpline for urgent help.
Hello Harshil. Psychiatrist here. I need to know what medications you are taking and at what dose. Sometimes, lower doses would not work for anxiety. Also if you are not okay with continuing medications, there is always an option of taking therapies like CBT or Mindfulness based therapy. Also, I want to know the kind of thoughts you get most of the times , so that I can help you better. Regards.

Currently I am on I’m taking below medicines: Mood stabilizer Palmflox-20 Deviorx fr 250 Veniz xr 75 My main problem is brain fog and focus issue like I can’t feel realistic and I didn’t feel good from inside as I am the only boy in my family and my father was passed by 5 years ago so I feel more anxious for the future, but I think it is a life long problem and I am like a mental person I thought.
It’s crucial to address the symptoms you’re experiencing, understanding that anxiety and depression can indeed diminish focus and cognitive performance, like you’re describing. Although you’ve been under treatment with SSRIs along with lifestyle changes, it’s not uncommon for it to take time before seeing full improvements. There are a few strategies you might consider to assist further enhancement of your cognitive skills: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) could be a valuable complement to medication. It’s a practical approach to understanding negative thought patterns and could promote improved cognitive functions as well. Have a frank discussion with your psychiatrist or GP about your current SSRI treatment—it might be worth considering either dosage adjustments or trying a different medication. Each person responds uniquely to these medications and finding the fit that minimizes side effects while maximising benefits sometimes needs tailoring. Explore activities that specifically bolster cognitive skills—consider puzzles, memory exercises or learning a new skill. Many apps are geared towards improving focus and memory; these might provide a structured, enjoyable way to integrate mental exercise into daily life. Simple lifestyle changes can also have positive effects—ensuring proper sleep, staying hydrated, minimizing screen time before bed, and regular but not excessively rigorous exercise can all help. If thoughts of ending life are persistent or overwhelming, seeking immediate support is essential. Contacting a mental health professional, hotlines, or support groups could provide urgent help. Whenever there’s a contemplation of self-harm, it’s imperative to bring this to the attention of your healthcare provider without delay. With proper care, most people do eventually see substantial relief. Progress might sometimes feel slow but remains possible.
