Functional medicine usually bypasses those issues and also aims to treat problems directly through body functioning as opposed to symptom management. Taking any kind of drug (anti-depressants or other prescribed medicines) can have other side effects. Sometimes they are worth it, and there may not be a better alternative. But other times parts of your body end up depending on it and are unable to function as they should when you take the drug away. If you're able to reach a functional medicine doctor, I would highly recommend it.
Anyway, It sounds like you've come upon some very hard times, and I certainly hope you are able to get to a place of peace sooner rather than later.
I'm going to respond to the second part first. Thanks! I hope it too, I hope to have peace of mind on all this as soon as possible.
For the first part, I don't know what functional medicine is, as I'm not in USA. I'd probably also not have the money for the moment. I didn't go to school (well, around 4-5 days in 5 weeks) nor did I really work. I'm now trying to focus 1: on the medical treatment conceived by the hospital I got hosted at, and 2. Try getting in physical form again. I've gone to alternative medicine, normal one, so I'm kinda tired and pissed off so I'll finish this treatment before doing anything else.
I was under the impression functional medicine was elsewhere in the world, but I have limited knowledge as to its accessibility. It's a type of practice that aims to help you essentially by making you healthier overall. I understand though, I don't think I have easy or affordable access to it in the US even. I'm quite accustomed to the NHS of the UK, so having limited access to these things is new to me. It sounds like you're working at it, which is good. I wish you the best of luck with this treatment, and I hope you don't have to jump around to other types.
