Hello all, ive been dealing with nonstop anxiety for maybe a month and a half now. Panic attacks and constant worrying. I feel so drained out because its all day everyday. I have an appointment with a physcologist but its going to take a few weeks.. im started to feel so hopeless and sad, thinking i will have to live like this forever, im only 17. My doc said they will most likey put me on antidepressants.. my question is, will they make my anxiety worst?? Im constantly overthinking it because i know it has side effects. Any advice?

Your GP has talked to you, most of the population who become Depressed or suffer Anxiety may generally only suffer one period in their life. The next group may have problems with same throughout their lives, sad to say I am in the last group.
The first group is the group most sufferers are in, after treatment they will be ok for the rest of their lives, so stop worrying you are ok
Sometimes if you see a Therapist you may need medications over a given time, in this case the medications taken properly can help with treatment and eventual healing. If medications are given give the medication time to work four or five weeks, it may be they will increase the dose after four weeks as you become used to them.
There is nothing to worry about, if in any doubt there is an instruction sheet in with your capsules or tablets, they explain everything about your medicine
You will suffer some side effects although this is normal and as you proceed through treatment these side effects should hopefully reduce
Always here to help

I'm on sertraline 25 mg I felt better after 1 st week , you get some side effects but also try to calm yourself, if you can go to a psychiatrist, go, that helps a lot or you can also search for councelors on youtube, listen to affirmations too, eat healthy , no caffeine no alcohol or too much sugar, try to eat when you can cause I know fear sometimes interfere with your appetite , this is my second time with anxiety and depression, because I triggered it myself, try to think positive things , good luck ☺
