Pune woman fights back depression, not with pills but talk therapy: Lancet study finds why antidepressants must be tapered | Health and Wellness News

Nikita (name changed), 32, had always hoped to pursue higher studies in literature but was unable to clear the entrance exam for a PhD programme. As she watched her contemporaries move ahead in their careers while she struggled to find a job, she slipped into depression. After a suicide attempt, she began treatment but her response to medication was poor and she often discontinued it. Eventually, her brother moved from Ahmedabad to be with her in Pune. While pills failed, talk therapy with psychiatrists gradually pulled her off the edge. “Initially, she required in-patient psychiatric care, followed by a year of outpatient follow-up after discharge,” said Dr Nishikant Thorat, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Psychiatry at B.J. Government Medical College and Sassoon General Hospital. He recalled that Nikita gradually responded to a combination of medication and intensive psychotherapy or talk therapy. “Over one- and-a-half years of treatment, we were able to slowly taper her medications and eventually discontinue them completely after two years. She is now symptom-free and continues psychotherapy for ongoing …

Prescription pet drugs can be found by searching for the required medication in Amazon’s search bar and inputting your prescribing veterinarian’s information during checkout. The Vetsource online pet pharmacy service will then dispense and deliver medications purchased through Amazon, with shipping expected to take between two to six days.
