Forum: Anxiety and Medications. Wednesday October 24th

With Dr. Carolyn Bell, psychiatrist, CDHB Anxiety Disorders Unit.
Many people are conflicted about taking medication prescribed for
anxiety. Some resist this form of help; yet others regard it as a lifeline. Many people on medication stop taking it too soon or too suddenly, either because they were never really comfortable with it or because they felt they no longer needed it. It is important to understand why medication is prescribed, how it works and how to safely manage it. Dr. Bell’s knowledge will help you better appreciate the role prescription medicines can play in creating the conditions for recovery from anxiety.
Topics to be discussed will include:
•What is an anti-depressant and what does it do?
•Why are anti-depressants prescribed for people with anxiety?
•What are the different types of anti-depressant?
•What do I do if my anti-depressant doesn’t seem to help me, or has unpleasant side effects?
•When prescribing an anti-depressant what guidance should my doctor give me?
