Dr says Social Anxiety

[lynyona]

Hi Hunni and welcome. Is your son planning on appealing the decision re the assessment? ItÂ’s a tough process but if he canÂ’t work, a necessary one.

Social anxiety and depression often go hand in hand. How long has he been taking sertraline? When did he last see his doctor for a review? Lovely, youÂ’re already helping him by being there for him. But it can be hard caring for someone so please make sure you take time out for you.

Hi
He hasn't had a decision yet this time round but he didn't appeal last time he said they'd made their mind up so no point . He s been on Sertaline a while now he see s the Dr regularly when he as to renew his sick note ,the drs been really good he listened when none of the others did he was on Citraoplam but he put loads of weight on with it so he came off that and had sleeping tablets but they made him feel ill

Social anxiety and depression often occur together and one feeds off the other, I'm on Sertraline and it helps me but we are all different maybe another anti-depressant would suit him better, has he had a meds review with his doctor. There's various talking therapies has he explored those?

Hi
when he goes to open minds he does something like that and cognitive exercises etc listens to the calming cds which don't help
