Hahahah lazy psychiatry, it’s all in inflammation in the body. If you would actually do the research and the work maybe psychiatry would be respected!! Psychiatry is a lazy field!

I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was 23. I’ve had severe depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember but my psychiatrist nor I ever considered ADHD being comorbid. After seeing a new psychiatrist he wanted me to be evaluated for ADHD. After testing I definitely realized how my functioning is impaired as a result. Now since being on medication for ADHD, my anxiety has lessened enormously my seemingly medication resistant depression is in remission, while on a stimulant. I cried at my last appointment because I’ve never felt so put together and functional
Oh that's awesome. Yes I've had some patients say it may them feel sad to think about how much they missed out on all the time they were not treated for their attention problems. Best wishes.
I think it is important to clarify that the effect lasted for a long time, cool, if it worked for you, unfortunately it is not an experience for everyone (
My life is at a chaos right now and your calm voice (even saying that my problems can relapse now and then) just soothes me so much!!! Thank you so so much! :')
So true. I'm on a cocktail of meds for my bipolar disorder type 1 with rapid cycling,my PTSD,and my blood pressure. My meds make me feel human. I have been doing so much better...I went years without meds,and I regret it. Latuda and other meds have made my life better. I mentally got to a point where my emotions took control of everything and every choice. Now I think with more logic. My emotional rollercoaster ruled my life for a good chunk of it. I am thankful for your videos.
Thank you so much for this. I've been depressed for my entire adult life and have had anxiety since I was a kid. This has given me perspective as to what I can do and what to expect and how to prepare.
Precise. Clear. Exact. Perfect articulation. Not one irrelevant syllable. No ambiguity. I quite literally understood all of what you intended that I should all the way from the beginning of the video to the end of it. You know how to make maximal use of your natural abilities. Your video presentations are the best that I've seen. Thank you for filling in more of those gaps in my knowledge and understanding. My best to you Dr. Marks.
I'm so glad you made this video. I've become high functioning, but there's some things I can't do. I've accepted the way my life is, but sometimes I get frustrated that I can't be like everybody else. I try to remember that everybody struggles with something.
I don't personally agree with this, but I truly respect the viewpoint in which you've expressed it. Science is literally to study and further inquire. What's today analysis could be tomorrow's trail and error.
The only problem that I have with this point-of-view. Is that an increasing number of people are being diagnosed as psychiatrically ill. Primarily due to the Coronavirus we have diagnosed almost 40% of the population with some form of mental illness and now we're telling them that the condition will never really go away it'll just go into remission. I feel like this point-of-view breeds hopelessness. In general I feel like treating depression like a disease in the non-severe forms ignores the societal inputs that lead so many people to become depressed.
Without a doubt, the best professional in this field that I know of. After 30 plus years of experience as a tossed about guinea pig.... FINALLY, someone that actually explains. AND... someone who answers. I wish we'd had TH-cam in the 80s lol
@@DrTraceyMarks mam, please give a video on how to reverse side effects of psychiatric medication. Low intelligence, low energy etc. I'm a sufferer and hoping for help
Love the topics get asked this a lot, it’s a fight but worth the fight. Thankfully there are good doctors out there and with some trial and error with meds we can make it through and live the best possible life. Love your channel and the topics you cover. Always find inspiration for my channel here.
Thanks Dr1ven. I would probably say 60% of my content is community driven. I still have a lot of stuff I want to say that people aren't asking about - so I'm glad I have a lot of videos still to make. So if I'm not making them fast enough, you can alway look through the comments for other ideas because people have plenty of them. And yes it's all worth the fight. Thanks for that.
What if I don't want to identify with a psychiatric diagnosis? Happy to acknowledge my experiences. But don't want to attach any pathological labels to my identity and self-image. That would have a negative impact on the way I see myself and respond to my circumstances in life.
Y'know, Dr. Marks has the eyes and heart of compassion and if more specialists were as heartfelt and compassionate as she, I am of the belief that a lot of even what a psychiatrist does or is supposed to do, has to do with bedside manner which plays into cooperation by the patient and recovery/remission. anyway if there were more people like our host here and my late brother-in-law who was a wonderful psychiatrist and human being . He helped me understand what a therapeutic intervention is and how it can possibly play out and I think if I found the right person I might be amenable because especially with the depression and haven't been untreated for so long it's gotten worse the episodes get worse and my ADHD you know that's like you're born with something that's going to have you commit social suicide on occasion it's very misunderstood and when I was growing up in the 60s it was you were just slotted into slow learner groups and the educational system. It was quite demeaning and I got bullied alot. I would definitely love to permanently be off the roller coaster where the conductor left his post indefinitely if you know what I mean 🙄
At the risk of sounding negative, your video can possibly take the lives of many people who are battling with mental illnesses, such as the victims of clinical depression. Hope sustains life and miracles do take place. I have seen people successfully gaining long term recovery and never relapsing again throughout their lives, even after suffering for almost a decade. With all due respect, I must say that this is not how you are supposed to create awareness or treat people when it comes to mental illnesses. There are certain things that you have to hide from your patients for their betterment and to give them hope, even if it is at the cost of lying. Mentally challenged people need hope to survive, not awareness programmes that make them suicidal.
As a 'mentally challenged person', I can see where you're coming from, and when I was suicidal, it might have been dangerous to have that last crumb of hope taken away from me. Maybe the video could have put a little more focus on the positive side, that although these disorders can't be cured, a good quality of life *absolutely can* be acheived. That said, I actually need totally honesty from mental health professionals. I need to know that I can trust them completely, even if they have some hard truths for me. Would you expect an oncologist to spare their patients from the truth that there was nothing more that current medical science could do for them, and that they had, lets say, only 6 months to live? Of course there's always room for a miracle, but better to focus on managing the symptoms and getting the best quality of life possible, rather than waiting for a total cure that may or may not, but probably won't happen.
Maybe it's a stupid question, but does "having no symptoms of depression" mean being happy? I don't think so, but how to differanciate a normal sadness with a sadness staying from a previous depression, without being as intense?
Speaking to the experience of feeling sad v the experience of being depressed. Sadness is an emotion, and you can often figure out what triggered it. Depression is more an absence of, or inability to feel, joy/happiness - and actually the best description of it I've ever read is what dementors (from Harry Potter) do to people.
@@Serpentrose I understand what you say, how the depressed sadness is more an absence of feeling... I've been depressed for the past few years, and I'm feeling better now but still feel like I'm empty, sad and angry all at the same time... I can't figure out if it's the normal sadness or the rest of depression sadness!
@@Flo-cy4xc Good luck, here's hoping you can figure out, and get, what you need to feel better. For myself I can tell the difference, as my depression is marked by a desire to withdraw from everything while sadness wants to be shared.
Lol. I use this stuff called Maui Moisture curl smoothie. I also use the hair butter. I used to use Miss Jessie's stuff but it made my hair very dry. You can see that in older videos. Either my hair was a dry fro, or it was hard and crunchy. Now it's soft and moist.
My mom’s therapist told her she doesn’t have ocd anymore. This was a diagnosis my mom had for many years and strongly identified with. My mom is currently diagnosed with anxiety, but I still see ocd aspects, as does she. Her therapist claimed ocd can go away. I’m confused. I always thought it was more of how you described where her ocd is in remission but, due to her history, it’s possible it could resurface at some point.
@@DrTraceyMarks I have the feeling of constant zoning out and thinking that I'm not alive could you please help me? I don't understand what this is it's very scary and I'm constantly thinking that I'm not alive at the moment

@@slick_schlick2879 hello! I've had this problem a few years ago. Please look into "Depersonalization and derealization" and let me know if you think this might be what you're dealing with.
@@soar3135 Yes it is! I've researched these symptomes but knowing what this condition is didn't help one bit I've heard nasty stories about people completely out of their minds that absolutely terrify me I've been strugglin with complete "ZONE OUTS" and I think it will never end it's like a cycle of torture sometimes I'm back and then almost instantly my mind turns that relief into absolute horror and panic and I'm back at it again fighting to keep my consciousness if nothing can be done I'm considering ending it all. Can I get rid of this mental state?
I have a question for Dr. Tracey Marks. I’m 47 yrs old and a month ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. So my question is do I always have to be seeing a psychiatrist every month to get my medication? Since I have no health insurance and I have to pay from my own packet. I’m actually happy and glad that I found out that I have ADHD because my life has improved a lot and the med is like a booster for my brain to function well. Thank you for all your videos and valuable information you share with us! 💕💕💕
People have different policies about how often you need to go back for appointments. some doctors will go every three months. So it definitely depends on the doctor or the clinic policy. I’m glad the medication has changed things for you.
its really break my heart, im suffering from depression anxiety and bipolar. i was okay 2 months ago after i get threatment then something bad happen again and it triggers me. i want to see my psychologist but my parents are not supportive about it. they really want their kid to be sane without doctor needed but the one who make me crazy is them
I don't know. I think I'd have to disagree with Tracey on this one. Through therapy I've completely changed what situations give me anxiety and how great they are as well as affected the risks of relapse into remission to a huge degree. I feel like the overhanging risk of depression exists for everyone regardless of genes etc, but alot of people just don't seek help or find ways to manage on their own and live with it. Medicines to me seem like a bandaid on a sore that will open up again while therapy and understanding of yourself is more akin to a cure. This is my experience after having depression on and off for years. I may be projecting in the hopes of having found a cure, and i may fall into short periods of feeling sad and unenergetic, but I feel that's something that most normal people do too and it would feel unfair to categorize everyone as in remission from depression.
Thank you Dr Marks, this was helpful. Although, I have to say, It was disheartening. I am in remission following becoming medicated and having social interventions in the prodrome stage. Every day is a battle in my brain to take my meds because I feel I am cured! It is so easy for me to think of my meds as just providing all these side effects and not actually contributing to maintenance and treatment.
I'm in the same boat as you were when you posted this. I'm doing well! I feel fine! I've felt fine before without medication. I have been misdiagnosed. Somehow I mislead someone. I'm not the same person as I once was. I'll bargain somehow with my doctors. I'll show them I'm well. No matter what they'll want to keep me on meds. To whose benefit though? Mine? Theirs? Big Pharma's? Am I not just having a human experience same as anyone? Are these labels meant to trap me and others like me? I'm not too far gone into paranoia land but it is stressing me out. I can label these thoughts as prodrome and be aware of how my perceptions change over time and I know the word "Anosognosia". But I want so badly to not have to take meds. I want someone who I trust to evaluate me and say "There was a mistake. You're fine. You've always been fine. You can stop your meds and you'll BE fine. Sorry about all the fuss." I wouldn't question it. Thanks for listening to me try to explain my feelings.
This is why it's important to know your triggers, and to manage yourself as well as you can. Learn about your condition and try to stay on top of it and nip it in the bud where possible. Know how you function and what works for you in keeping yourself well.
Since there no help or cure to be honest I personally don't feel hope just anger and rage ....the truth hurts and sometimes it don't heal. Show no mercy
Psychiatrist do not hold all the answers, nor can they predict the future. Anxiety is a habit that can be broken it is not an illness. I cannot speak to bipolar or schizophrenia. However anxiety and panic attacks, the thoughts that get you there are learned. Work and focus on yourself. For every doctor that says you’re stuck, there is one that says you are not! The difference is you must believe you can do it. Dr. Joe Dispenza is one such voice.
@@soar3135 I do indeed. You need to find support first and foremost. There is nothing wrong with you, you are not a victim, with proper help and care you will put this behind you! But start now
@@soar3135 I have indeed, if you need that support you should take it. However, with time you will see that if this was caused by a stressful situation you have what it takes to move past it. From a psychiatrists perspective medication is really THE answer. However, other avenues exist they are just less well known.
@@humo89 It's good to know medication seems to help! I've heard that it doesn't do anything for people and sometimes makes people feel even worse- so that made me very scared. Thank you so much for giving me hope :)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much! I've been trying to find an answer to this question which surprisingly no one can give a clear answer until I watched this video. This helps me so much and helps my relationships too. Thank you!
My PTSD is cured though - without help from medication or counseling. Just time was enough to heal me. I was in an abusive marriage but it has been 8 years since I was in that marriage and it doesn’t bother me anymore. And yes, I was formally diagnosed with PTSD but it doesn’t bother me anymore.
Hey Tracey, the idea if you get high blood pressure from being overweight, it means you'll always have that tendency makes sense. Your videos strike me as very clear and straightforward. However, I'm curious about how deep working with one's tendencies can go. For example, if someone were to have high blood pressure then lose weight, then work on learning to process emotions because they might have anger issues that contribute to it... Then maybe change their diet and, entire lifestyle... maybe re-establish healthy magnesium levels (isn't it like 80% of people are deficient?), detoxify their liver (liver supposedly correlates to anger according to Chinese Medicine).... Reduce inflammation in their bodies... Improve their communication skills and thus their relationships... If one were to put all this together (and surely there's even more) and combine it with the idea we can even change the way our genes express themselves through epigenetics, it might start to look like one can indeed treat high blood pressure as effectively as they could 'cure' a vitamin deficiency. It would just take longer and more work. Perhaps it's just my delusion, but it sure seems to piggyback on what you're saying and also make sense.
ok so here's the reason for me why it's bad news. I have two little boys and here in Canada the social services ( child protection services in American, terms), have taken my kids out if my right to parent. I have only panic disorder and I find I can adapt to certain situations by just practicing mindful and easing my way into things. I do take meds but do not want to take them forever. I want and need my kids in my care since I gave birth. It's my job ad a mom to take care of them. I am working on myself while family has custody of my boys. I do hope I can find a way to get them back legally. So yes sad situation for me right now and plus I want to live a happy successful life.
Hello! I have a question. My mother who is bi polar and medicated living happily for year's. Closing in on her 70's, her doc has reduced her medications and she has been stable for years now. Can female post menopause help mental health? She says her body naturally feels calmer (she has always been more manic than depressed).
Yes males and females can "settle down" some with age (but not everyone),. So I'm not sure if it's the reduction in hormones or not. Certainly if she had hormonal fluctuations in her symptoms like some women do, menopause can make that better.
Hi Dr Marks- can you do a video about the link between PCOS/hormonal imbalance and depression/anxiety? It’s so common but often isn’t addressed by psychiatrists in my experience. Thank you!
You are amazing, Dr. Marks. Thank you for the hard work you do for these videos. I currently dealing with lexapro withdrawal and it’s messing with me so much. I know there is hope for me though. Thank you again 🥰💕
I wonder, is "unwilling or uncooperative in a therapy" included as a part of manifestation of mental disorder? Thank you for your videos, I really like it :)
Thank you. And yes it applies to PTSD as well. People can almost completely recover from this but I still think you're left with some residual issues. They just may not cause problems.

Hi Dr Tracey, I have PTSD as a result of a traumatic birth. I had an episode of extreme anxiety and depression and have been put on 150ml of Zoloft. Am I doomed to feel this way forever in 'remission', or will I be able to come out of it after some time? I don't want to feel this way forever, and I'm terrified that it'll keep coming back. Please help!
Thank you for this video. It is obvious that it depends what we call a mental disorder. Let’s say somebody has a clinical form of mild anxiety or depression only because they go through a difficult period in their life. Is it possible that a human being is absolutely resistant to adverse life events, that they never develop any sort of psychiatric reaction to those events? I think it's impossible. So some psychiatric symptoms (basically mood symptoms and certainly not psychotic symptoms, unless the person takes hallucinogenic drugs) look like an expected reaction to adverse environmental factors. People with those mild symptoms often don't even need medication. Can these symptoms be cured only by solving life's problems? I think yes. Of course, the situation is completely different for somebody who has an “idiopathic” form of a mental disorder, actually caused by genetics and epigenetics (if the latter cannot be corrected simply by correcting the environment). Can it be cured with current therapeutic approaches? Not really, as for these persons etiology is deep inside their cells’ workings. I believe we will be able to discover some means to correct the consequences of their genetic and epigenetic errors, but for sure we are not there yet.
Yes I agree. It really depends on what we call a disorder. Not all life reactions are disorders. They can be temporary emotional states that resolve with the situation.
I typed “am I doomed to fail if I have a mental illness”, and I got this. Thanks TH-cam algorithm, and thanks to these doctors, I feel like I just want to fucking die.
Can somebody tell me why it is that I was diagnosed, prescribed Mirtazapine and Promethazine Hydrochloride, and NOT told what exactly was supposed to be wrong with me?! It’s not like I lack the capacity, I run a factory just fine, own my own vehicle, cook and clean my home etc. Shouldn’t the professional tell the patient?
this video make happy. im in my very first depression episode (im a LOOT BETTER even whithouth trattament), i hope that when this episode will end i will return like my old self. i think that i will still seek help.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God *ALL* things are possible. And I can fully attest that His words here ARE true. Don't ever say anything is IMpossible.
Why was depression once considered a temporary illness and now we see more and more cases of treatment resistant depression? Also what about situational depression... I would think that could be "cured". It seems like the idea that once depressed always depressed or once mentally ill always mentally ill fits perfectly with goals of the pharmaceutical industry ($$$). Not satisfied with the current state of psychiatry and the blunt tools it has to offer along with the close ties between psychiatrists and pharma companies & reps. I was once a person who trusted my doctor to help get me better, but the medication side effects were much, much worse than I could have ever imagined.
@@joqiii3 Yes, thankfully starting to get better after dealing with intense SNRI and SSRI withdrawals (3x in one year). My doctor didn't believe that the medication was causing my side effects, one of them being paresthesia. I thought I had MS and spent over a grand on an MRI scan to ease my mind. After all of that I could have just stopped the medication. It's like he doesn't believe in side effects from medication or withdrawal symptoms and wants to blame it all on the patient.
Hi Dr. Marks, thank you so much for the great videos you put out! For mental health disorders that are properly managed, what do the later years of life look like for us? Bipolar 1 in my case. I have heard that mania and depression can be much worse and that there can be major problems from a lifetime of taking medication.
Sometimes you can become less responsive to the medications so you need more changes or have more episodes that are hard to treat. However sometimes people can coast along with very minor symptoms and remain on the same medications for years. so it really depends on the person. I do think taking good care of your body with diet and exercise and sleep contribute to how things look as you go along.
Hi, I love watching your videos! Thank you for all the Infos! by the way, can I suggest that you do a video that discusses the distinctions between grief & complicated grief vs depression? how to differentiate between those and when to get help? can grieve leads to depression? what about situational depression? I hope you can take my suggestion into consideration. Thank you so much, Dr!
What percentage of people recover completely from MDD episode without any residual symptom?? Star*d study show only 50-60%. What's your experience in practice?I haven't seen one. Can u plz share recovery stories of patients who got out of severe depression?
My numbers maybe a little closer to 70% it gets tricky sharing patient stories. I wouldn’t want any of my patients to recognize them self on my channel.
@@DrTraceyMarks 70% is still a large no. if it's true coz no story of complete recovery is available on the internet for severe depression. It is the only thing people search for when they are suffering. When they find that people just get better but don't feel and work like before, they loose hope of recovery. If u want u can ask people to directly share their recovery stories through email. Hope u reply!
Thank you for your videos. I'm studying to be an educator...My question is: is unspecified personality disorder considered a mental illness in the same way as other personality disorders? Because I read in the Internet it can't be actually considered a personality disorder
Not sure if I agree with your anxiety one. I got anxiety in 2010. If something triggered it at the age of 33 there must be something to switch it off as I wasn't born with it. Its like smoking I smoked for 20 years but trained myself to come off of it and haven't smoked in 6 years
That reasoning doesn't make much sense to me. Most illnesses are triggered at some point in our lives and we're not born with them. Once your ill, you can't always get cured. It's not like smoking because that's not an illness. Although, it can be regarded as an addiction and then the comparison kind of works because addictions are also something you can't cure, you can only stay sober/clean. Congrats on quitting smoking btw!
Hello mam! I am from India. Do you offer video consultation in India. I am mentally ill and currently on Paxil and Amisulpride. May I get your treatment over Skype?
Dear Dr. Marks I love your channel and I watch each and every video you post. They're so helpful! 💛 If I could request a topic for the new video, that would be Medication Resistance and Tolerance Build-up /or something along the lines/. I recently got prescribed Zoloft to help with my anxiety and depression, and it works pretty great. However, I'm afraid I might build up tolerance to it someday. I would love to learn more about this, especially if you can give stories or examples from your own practise. Much love, Rory 💛
I've been living with anxiety since I can remember which would be the age of 5 it comes and goes throughout the day I have three kids and being a mother have made it worse but I found ways throughout my life to cope. Meditation has helped tremendously, marijuana, exercise, and facing my fears.
Dr Marks, what are your thoughts on Robert Whittaker’s book, “Anatomy of an epidemic”? He concludes that long term treatment for mental illness is worse long term for patients on medication than without. (Depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia).
I hate it when ppl who had a depressive phase try to tell me that I can "beat" my depression. Have sth to show them that it's not just me talking when I say that it isn't. So thanks!
That's not good to hear, doc. My brother has shizophrenia and we wanna have him living a good live somehow.. i tell him every day to prepare himself more and accept how it all is right now. But he has delusions like that he will live 200 years and that he can heal himself just by thinking and breathing and therefore healing the entire humanity without any further interactions. Sure, i know the concept of faith and self-esteem, but he has religious delusions and that's not faith nor a healthy view at all. Heck, even a priest sometimes says that praying does heal people with about 5-10% certainty. Anyhow, he's paranoid to the core due to the several psychosis over the years (paranoid shizophrenia). The onset was for him between 16 and 17. He's 25 now and still has a lot to work for it to have a better live. Our whole family is just crap. Well my sister is a classical messy and i might have adhd and no friends. But me and my siblings didn't listen. We just wanted to opt out the regular story mode in this game called life. (That's the view i'm dealing with it)
"We never lose our demons, Mordo. We only learn to live above them." -Ancient One, 'Doctor Strange', 2016. Although making parallels between metal illness and demons might be a bit stigmatizing, I think it fits in this context.
For many years I thought Psychotherapy would cure my Depression. But eventually I needed to be hospitalized for Major Depression. It was a relief to win my Disability case I had suffered so many years expecting a cure. I have never had a full remission of symptoms but I have improved. I fight this disease everyday with medication and other tools like Meditation and Exercise.
It's not your personal faul (always keep it in mind !). Clinical depression is a serious case, one of my best buddies suffers from this and I'm suffering with him. Let me tell you one thing: there are true healers out there that can cure you completely ! But you won't find them on the net. Psychiatrists like Dr. Marks (btw she looks smoking hot), well she is a doc whose job is to teach how to live with that shit, but it can be cured for sure step-by-step.

Thank you so much for this. I've been depressed for my entire adult life and have had anxiety since I was a kid. This has given me perspective as to what I can do and what to expect and how to prepare.
All the best in your journey in life ❤️
Precise. Clear. Exact. Perfect articulation. Not one irrelevant syllable. No ambiguity. I quite literally understood all of what you intended that I should all the way from the beginning of the video to the end of it. You know how to make maximal use of your natural abilities. Your video presentations are the best that I've seen. Thank you for filling in more of those gaps in my knowledge and understanding. My best to you Dr. Marks.
Wow thanks so much Something You Said. I really appreciate it. 😊
Something You Said Dr. Tracey Marks seems awesome. I wish she was my doctor, but I live in Canada.
in short ,
such illness can
be rooted out completly .
Taking medications only controls symptoms it cant cure your problem
How?
I'm so glad you made this video. I've become high functioning, but there's some things I can't do. I've accepted the way my life is, but sometimes I get frustrated that I can't be like everybody else. I try to remember that everybody struggles with something.
I don't personally agree with this, but I truly respect the viewpoint in which you've expressed it. Science is literally to study and further inquire. What's today analysis could be tomorrow's trail and error.
Thank you!!
I agree
Brilliant Tracey I’m glad to find this question being answered so perfectly and clearly 👍
Oh you're so welcome Hellina thanks
There needs to be a cure I'm tired of these special ed kids
I just really like you, you’re so professional and focused and classy. You seem delightful.
thanks a lot em. 😊
@@DrTraceyMarks Is it possible to cure a disorder?
The only problem that I have with this point-of-view. Is that an increasing number of people are being diagnosed as psychiatrically ill. Primarily due to the Coronavirus we have diagnosed almost 40% of the population with some form of mental illness and now we're telling them that the condition will never really go away it'll just go into remission. I feel like this point-of-view breeds hopelessness. In general I feel like treating depression like a disease in the non-severe forms ignores the societal inputs that lead so many people to become depressed.
40%??? From where you got the info
I really love how in-depth and understandable your videos are. The quality is so good, too!
Thanks so much Coco. 😊
Without a doubt, the best professional in this field that I know of. After 30 plus years of experience as a tossed about guinea pig.... FINALLY, someone that actually explains. AND... someone who answers. I wish we'd had TH-cam in the 80s lol
Thanks so much Bryan. You've had more experience with this than me! (I've only got 22 LOL).
Bryan Austin I agree❤️
@@DrTraceyMarks mam, please give a video on how to reverse side effects of psychiatric medication. Low intelligence, low energy etc. I'm a sufferer and hoping for help
Love the topics get asked this a lot, it’s a fight but worth the fight. Thankfully there are good doctors out there and with some trial and error with meds we can make it through and live the best possible life. Love your channel and the topics you cover. Always find inspiration for my channel here.
Thanks Dr1ven. I would probably say 60% of my content is community driven. I still have a lot of stuff I want to say that people aren't asking about - so I'm glad I have a lot of videos still to make. So if I'm not making them fast enough, you can alway look through the comments for other ideas because people have plenty of them. And yes it's all worth the fight. Thanks for that.
Dr. Tracey Marks you do an amazing job! I’m grateful I came across your channel awhile back!
I suffered anxiety when I thought my father had died. He never died. Changed me totally and caused me serious mental health
@@yellowsapphire3156 thanks.some days are good and some days are not so good.
I know I’m not alone but why do I feel so alone...
What if I don't want to identify with a psychiatric diagnosis? Happy to acknowledge my experiences. But don't want to attach any pathological labels to my identity and self-image. That would have a negative impact on the way I see myself and respond to my circumstances in life.
Y'know, Dr. Marks has the eyes and heart of compassion and if more specialists were as heartfelt and compassionate as she, I am of the belief that a lot of even what a psychiatrist does or is supposed to do, has to do with bedside manner which plays into cooperation by the patient and recovery/remission. anyway if there were more people like our host here and my late brother-in-law who was a wonderful psychiatrist and human being . He helped me understand what a therapeutic intervention is and how it can possibly play out and I think if I found the right person I might be amenable because especially with the depression and haven't been untreated for so long it's gotten worse the episodes get worse and my ADHD you know that's like you're born with something that's going to have you commit social suicide on occasion it's very misunderstood and when I was growing up in the 60s it was you were just slotted into slow learner groups and the educational system. It was quite demeaning and I got bullied alot. I would definitely love to permanently be off the roller coaster where the conductor left his post indefinitely if you know what I mean 🙄
At the risk of sounding negative, your video can possibly take the lives of many people who are battling with mental illnesses, such as the victims of clinical depression. Hope sustains life and miracles do take place. I have seen people successfully gaining long term recovery and never relapsing again throughout their lives, even after suffering for almost a decade. With all due respect, I must say that this is not how you are supposed to create awareness or treat people when it comes to mental illnesses. There are certain things that you have to hide from your patients for their betterment and to give them hope, even if it is at the cost of lying. Mentally challenged people need hope to survive, not awareness programmes that make them suicidal.
As a 'mentally challenged person', I can see where you're coming from, and when I was suicidal, it might have been dangerous to have that last crumb of hope taken away from me. Maybe the video could have put a little more focus on the positive side, that although these disorders can't be cured, a good quality of life *absolutely can* be acheived. That said, I actually need totally honesty from mental health professionals. I need to know that I can trust them completely, even if they have some hard truths for me. Would you expect an oncologist to spare their patients from the truth that there was nothing more that current medical science could do for them, and that they had, lets say, only 6 months to live? Of course there's always room for a miracle, but better to focus on managing the symptoms and getting the best quality of life possible, rather than waiting for a total cure that may or may not, but probably won't happen.
“Mentally challenged” is the wrong term. “Mentally challenged” refers to people with developmental or intellectual issues.
I always look forward to viewing your videos!!!
Thank you Nurse-student! I still have a lot more things to talk about. I just cant get it all out fast enough.
@@DrTraceyMarks ☺
Maybe it's a stupid question, but does "having no symptoms of depression" mean being happy? I don't think so, but how to differanciate a normal sadness with a sadness staying from a previous depression, without being as intense?
Speaking to the experience of feeling sad v the experience of being depressed.
Sadness is an emotion, and you can often figure out what triggered it.
Depression is more an absence of, or inability to feel, joy/happiness - and actually the best description of it I've ever read is what dementors (from Harry Potter) do to people.
@@Serpentrose I understand what you say, how the depressed sadness is more an absence of feeling... I've been depressed for the past few years, and I'm feeling better now but still feel like I'm empty, sad and angry all at the same time... I can't figure out if it's the normal sadness or the rest of depression sadness!
@@Flo-cy4xc Good luck, here's hoping you can figure out, and get, what you need to feel better.
For myself I can tell the difference, as my depression is marked by a desire to withdraw from everything while sadness wants to be shared.
@@Serpentrose that's a clear way of seeing it... I like it! I think I'm going to search how to differentiate my two sadnesses like this :)
Serpentrose
Nicely stated. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Of course, the answer is "no" - otherwise it means this dr and others like her will become jobless
😂
Exactly, she needs have someone to prescribe medication for the rest of theyre life!😂
Off topic, but your curls look so good in this video. What kind of hair moisturizer do you use?
Lol. I use this stuff called Maui Moisture curl smoothie. I also use the hair butter. I used to use Miss Jessie's stuff but it made my hair very dry. You can see that in older videos. Either my hair was a dry fro, or it was hard and crunchy. Now it's soft and moist.
@@DrTraceyMarks Thanks ❤️
But why?
I got here from Medlife Crisis list of Medic videos. Definitely not disappointed. Keep up the interesting video's
Very Cool I didn't realize I got a shout out. thanks for letting me know. Thanks for watching
Thank You Dr Marks you are truly helping me understand what is happening to me as well as family members.
You're welcome Shelly.
My mom’s therapist told her she doesn’t have ocd anymore. This was a diagnosis my mom had for many years and strongly identified with. My mom is currently diagnosed with anxiety, but I still see ocd aspects, as does she. Her therapist claimed ocd can go away. I’m confused. I always thought it was more of how you described where her ocd is in remission but, due to her history, it’s possible it could resurface at some point.
A bit sad to hear this, however have grown to trust what you say and to focus on the beneficial things such as management of anxiety. Thanks!
You’re welcome Shawn. Thanks for your trust. 😊

@@soar3135 Yes it is! I've researched these symptomes but knowing what this condition is didn't help one bit I've heard nasty stories about people completely out of their minds that absolutely terrify me I've been strugglin with complete "ZONE OUTS" and I think it will never end it's like a cycle of torture sometimes I'm back and then almost instantly my mind turns that relief into absolute horror and panic and I'm back at it again fighting to keep my consciousness if nothing can be done I'm considering ending it all. Can I get rid of this mental state?
Can untreated major depression or post partum depression can develop into schizophrenia or bipolar???thank you
I have a question for Dr. Tracey Marks. I’m 47 yrs old and a month ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. So my question is do I always have to be seeing a psychiatrist every month to get my medication? Since I have no health insurance and I have to pay from my own packet.
I’m actually happy and glad that I found out that I have ADHD because my life has improved a lot and the med is like a booster for my brain to function well.
Thank you for all your videos and valuable information you share with us! 💕💕💕
People have different policies about how often you need to go back for appointments. some doctors will go every three months. So it definitely depends on the doctor or the clinic policy. I’m glad the medication has changed things for you.
See if there are any facilities that may be free or to low income people. I have free counseling and medication. Ask for help! :)
Dr. Tracey Marks Thank you!
Moonturns Thetides Thank you for your advice!
its really break my heart, im suffering from depression anxiety and bipolar. i was okay 2 months ago after i get threatment then something bad happen again and it triggers me. i want to see my psychologist but my parents are not supportive about it. they really want their kid to be sane without doctor needed but the one who make me crazy is them
I’m sorry you don’t have the family support that you need.
I don't know. I think I'd have to disagree with Tracey on this one. Through therapy I've completely changed what situations give me anxiety and how great they are as well as affected the risks of relapse into remission to a huge degree. I feel like the overhanging risk of depression exists for everyone regardless of genes etc, but alot of people just don't seek help or find ways to manage on their own and live with it. Medicines to me seem like a bandaid on a sore that will open up again while therapy and understanding of yourself is more akin to a cure. This is my experience after having depression on and off for years. I may be projecting in the hopes of having found a cure, and i may fall into short periods of feeling sad and unenergetic, but I feel that's something that most normal people do too and it would feel unfair to categorize everyone as in remission from depression.
You're not projecting. You're correct. This video exhibits a message of hopelessness. You are actually on the right path. Congrats.
Thank you Dr Marks, this was helpful. Although, I have to say, It was disheartening. I am in remission following becoming medicated and having social interventions in the prodrome stage. Every day is a battle in my brain to take my meds because I feel I am cured! It is so easy for me to think of my meds as just providing all these side effects and not actually contributing to maintenance and treatment.
I'm in the same boat as you were when you posted this.
I'm doing well! I feel fine! I've felt fine before without medication. I have been misdiagnosed. Somehow I mislead someone. I'm not the same person as I once was. I'll bargain somehow with my doctors. I'll show them I'm well.
No matter what they'll want to keep me on meds. To whose benefit though? Mine? Theirs? Big Pharma's? Am I not just having a human experience same as anyone? Are these labels meant to trap me and others like me?
I'm not too far gone into paranoia land but it is stressing me out. I can label these thoughts as prodrome and be aware of how my perceptions change over time and I know the word "Anosognosia". But I want so badly to not have to take meds. I want someone who I trust to evaluate me and say "There was a mistake. You're fine. You've always been fine. You can stop your meds and you'll BE fine. Sorry about all the fuss." I wouldn't question it.
Thanks for listening to me try to explain my feelings.
This is why it's important to know your triggers, and to manage yourself as well as you can. Learn about your condition and try to stay on top of it and nip it in the bud where possible. Know how you function and what works for you in keeping yourself well.
I am so so happy to be getting educated at 60 years old.. Doc comes up with solutions.
Since there no help or cure to be honest
I personally don't feel hope just anger and rage ....the truth hurts and sometimes it don't heal. Show no mercy
Sick and tired of my illnesses.. I suffer extremely.
I do to and it sucks 💯
I'm schizophrenic and this video makes my life challenging but at least I would be prepared till next time. (Next step)
Psychiatrist do not hold all the answers, nor can they predict the future. Anxiety is a habit that can be broken it is not an illness. I cannot speak to bipolar or schizophrenia. However anxiety and panic attacks, the thoughts that get you there are learned. Work and focus on yourself. For every doctor that says you’re stuck, there is one that says you are not! The difference is you must believe you can do it. Dr. Joe Dispenza is one such voice.
Do you have any experience with anxiety? I suddenly developed anxiety in October and I'm starting to lose hope
@@soar3135 I do indeed. You need to find support first and foremost. There is nothing wrong with you, you are not a victim, with proper help and care you will put this behind you! But start now
@@humo89 thank you for this comment. I hope to become more stable and calm as soon as possible. Have you taken any meds?
@@soar3135 I have indeed, if you need that support you should take it. However, with time you will see that if this was caused by a stressful situation you have what it takes to move past it. From a psychiatrists perspective medication is really THE answer. However, other avenues exist they are just less well known.
@@humo89 It's good to know medication seems to help! I've heard that it doesn't do anything for people and sometimes makes people feel even worse- so that made me very scared. Thank you so much for giving me hope :)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much! I've been trying to find an answer to this question which surprisingly no one can give a clear answer until I watched this video. This helps me so much and helps my relationships too. Thank you!
My PTSD is cured though - without help from medication or counseling. Just time was enough to heal me. I was in an abusive marriage but it has been 8 years since I was in that marriage and it doesn’t bother me anymore. And yes, I was formally diagnosed with PTSD but it doesn’t bother me anymore.
Dr. Marks thank you so much for making these videos ❤️ You are really helping a lot of people!
Hey Tracey, the idea if you get high blood pressure from being overweight, it means you'll always have that tendency makes sense. Your videos strike me as very clear and straightforward. However, I'm curious about how deep working with one's tendencies can go. For example, if someone were to have high blood pressure then lose weight, then work on learning to process emotions because they might have anger issues that contribute to it... Then maybe change their diet and, entire lifestyle... maybe re-establish healthy magnesium levels (isn't it like 80% of people are deficient?), detoxify their liver (liver supposedly correlates to anger according to Chinese Medicine).... Reduce inflammation in their bodies... Improve their communication skills and thus their relationships... If one were to put all this together (and surely there's even more) and combine it with the idea we can even change the way our genes express themselves through epigenetics, it might start to look like one can indeed treat high blood pressure as effectively as they could 'cure' a vitamin deficiency. It would just take longer and more work. Perhaps it's just my delusion, but it sure seems to piggyback on what you're saying and also make sense.
ok so here's the reason for me why it's bad news. I have two little boys and here in Canada the social services ( child protection services in American, terms), have taken my kids out if my right to parent. I have only panic disorder and I find I can adapt to certain situations by just practicing mindful and easing my way into things. I do take meds but do not want to take them forever. I want and need my kids in my care since I gave birth. It's my job ad a mom to take care of them. I am working on myself while family has custody of my boys. I do hope I can find a way to get them back legally. So yes sad situation for me right now and plus I want to live a happy successful life.
Hello! I have a question. My mother who is bi polar and medicated living happily for year's. Closing in on her 70's, her doc has reduced her medications and she has been stable for years now. Can female post menopause help mental health? She says her body naturally feels calmer (she has always been more manic than depressed).
Yes males and females can "settle down" some with age (but not everyone),. So I'm not sure if it's the reduction in hormones or not. Certainly if she had hormonal fluctuations in her symptoms like some women do, menopause can make that better.
Hi Dr Marks- can you do a video about the link between PCOS/hormonal imbalance and depression/anxiety? It’s so common but often isn’t addressed by psychiatrists in my experience. Thank you!
Thanks Amber for the suggestion. I’ll add it to my list.

Really well done video, thank you for sharing this information! I’m really wondering how this applies in the case of PTSD?
Thank you. And yes it applies to PTSD as well. People can almost completely recover from this but I still think you're left with some residual issues. They just may not cause problems.

Hi Dr Tracey, I have PTSD as a result of a traumatic birth. I had an episode of extreme anxiety and depression and have been put on 150ml of Zoloft. Am I doomed to feel this way forever in 'remission', or will I be able to come out of it after some time?
I don't want to feel this way forever, and I'm terrified that it'll keep coming back. Please help!
Thank you for this video. It is obvious that it depends what we call a mental disorder. Let’s say somebody has a clinical form of mild anxiety or depression only because they go through a difficult period in their life. Is it possible that a human being is absolutely resistant to adverse life events, that they never develop any sort of psychiatric reaction to those events? I think it's impossible. So some psychiatric symptoms (basically mood symptoms and certainly not psychotic symptoms, unless the person takes hallucinogenic drugs) look like an expected reaction to adverse environmental factors. People with those mild symptoms often don't even need medication. Can these symptoms be cured only by solving life's problems? I think yes. Of course, the situation is completely different for somebody who has an “idiopathic” form of a mental disorder, actually caused by genetics and epigenetics (if the latter cannot be corrected simply by correcting the environment). Can it be cured with current therapeutic approaches? Not really, as for these persons etiology is deep inside their cells’ workings. I believe we will be able to discover some means to correct the consequences of their genetic and epigenetic errors, but for sure we are not there yet.
Yes I agree. It really depends on what we call a disorder. Not all life reactions are disorders. They can be temporary emotional states that resolve with the situation.
i thank God i discovered you i have learned so much
I typed “am I doomed to fail if I have a mental illness”, and I got this. Thanks TH-cam algorithm, and thanks to these doctors, I feel like I just want to fucking die.

@@DrTraceyMarks if we cant get cured then neuroplasticity is not real right doc
There goes my hopes....
Thank you that was very well explained
Why was depression once considered a temporary illness and now we see more and more cases of treatment resistant depression? Also what about situational depression... I would think that could be "cured". It seems like the idea that once depressed always depressed or once mentally ill always mentally ill fits perfectly with goals of the pharmaceutical industry ($$$). Not satisfied with the current state of psychiatry and the blunt tools it has to offer along with the close ties between psychiatrists and pharma companies & reps. I was once a person who trusted my doctor to help get me better, but the medication side effects were much, much worse than I could have ever imagined.
Jamie A I totally agree with you. Were you able to get off the meds?
@@joqiii3 Yes, thankfully starting to get better after dealing with intense SNRI and SSRI withdrawals (3x in one year). My doctor didn't believe that the medication was causing my side effects, one of them being paresthesia. I thought I had MS and spent over a grand on an MRI scan to ease my mind. After all of that I could have just stopped the medication. It's like he doesn't believe in side effects from medication or withdrawal symptoms and wants to blame it all on the patient.
Okay, with kindling your illness can get progressively worse without appropriate intervention, but the illness is irreversible, eh, logic anyone?
its a fucking cult. spirituality is better for you when addressing mental health issues.
Hi Dr. Marks, thank you so much for the great videos you put out! For mental health disorders that are properly managed, what do the later years of life look like for us? Bipolar 1 in my case. I have heard that mania and depression can be much worse and that there can be major problems from a lifetime of taking medication.
Sometimes you can become less responsive to the medications so you need more changes or have more episodes that are hard to treat. However sometimes people can coast along with very minor symptoms and remain on the same medications for years. so it really depends on the person. I do think taking good care of your body with diet and exercise and sleep contribute to how things look as you go along.
Warning. This is a trigger video. It has triggered my anxiety.
Would you say the same thing for being malnourished? If I get malnourished and I have a propensity for it.... do I ever get cured?

What percentage of people recover completely from MDD episode without any residual symptom?? Star*d study show only 50-60%. What's your experience in practice?I haven't seen one. Can u plz share recovery stories of patients who got out of severe depression?
My numbers maybe a little closer to 70% it gets tricky sharing patient stories. I wouldn’t want any of my patients to recognize them self on my channel.
@@DrTraceyMarks 70% is still a large no. if it's true coz no story of complete recovery is available on the internet for severe depression. It is the only thing people search for when they are suffering. When they find that people just get better but don't feel and work like before, they loose hope of recovery. If u want u can ask people to directly share their recovery stories through email. Hope u reply!
Thank you for your videos. I'm studying to be an educator...My question is: is unspecified personality disorder considered a mental illness in the same way as other personality disorders? Because I read in the Internet it can't be actually considered a personality disorder
Not sure if I agree with your anxiety one.
I got anxiety in 2010. If something triggered it at the age of 33 there must be something to switch it off as I wasn't born with it. Its like smoking I smoked for 20 years but trained myself to come off of it and haven't smoked in 6 years
That reasoning doesn't make much sense to me. Most illnesses are triggered at some point in our lives and we're not born with them. Once your ill, you can't always get cured. It's not like smoking because that's not an illness. Although, it can be regarded as an addiction and then the comparison kind of works because addictions are also something you can't cure, you can only stay sober/clean.
Congrats on quitting smoking btw!

I love your channel and I watch each and every video you post. They're so helpful! 💛 If I could request a topic for the new video, that would be Medication Resistance and Tolerance Build-up /or something along the lines/. I recently got prescribed Zoloft to help with my anxiety and depression, and it works pretty great. However, I'm afraid I might build up tolerance to it someday. I would love to learn more about this, especially if you can give stories or examples from your own practise.
Much love, Rory 💛
Thanks Rory. Thanksnfor watching all of my videos. This is a great suggestion. I'll work on it
I've been living with anxiety since I can remember which would be the age of 5 it comes and goes throughout the day I have three kids and being a mother have made it worse but I found ways throughout my life to cope. Meditation has helped tremendously, marijuana, exercise, and facing my fears.
Awesome. I'm so glad you got a lot out of the meditation. CBD is gaining popularity, but getting a good source of it is an issue.
@@DrTraceyMarks it definitely is issue I'm fortunate to have two uncles that grow it and understand it
Is. Hydroxyzine safe to take for anxiety?
Dr Marks, what are your thoughts on Robert Whittaker’s book, “Anatomy of an epidemic”? He concludes that long term treatment for mental illness is worse long term for patients on medication than without. (Depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia).
I received a TBI and now I can see dead people and smell burnt toast. I no longer have panic attacks.
Do psychiatrists, psychologists, or therapists ever need "treatment"?
Very well done Doctor Marks, thank you
You speak very clearly !
I hate it when ppl who had a depressive phase try to tell me that I can "beat" my depression. Have sth to show them that it's not just me talking when I say that it isn't. So thanks!

That's not good to hear, doc.
My brother has shizophrenia and we wanna have him living a good live somehow.. i tell him every day to prepare himself more and accept how it all is right now. But he has delusions like that he will live 200 years and that he can heal himself just by thinking and breathing and therefore healing the entire humanity without any further interactions. Sure, i know the concept of faith and self-esteem, but he has religious delusions and that's not faith nor a healthy view at all. Heck, even a priest sometimes says that praying does heal people with about 5-10% certainty.
Anyhow, he's paranoid to the core due to the several psychosis over the years (paranoid shizophrenia). The onset was for him between 16 and 17. He's 25 now and still has a lot to work for it to have a better live.
Our whole family is just crap. Well my sister is a classical messy and i might have adhd and no friends.
But me and my siblings didn't listen. We just wanted to opt out the regular story mode in this game called life. (That's the view i'm dealing with it)

For many years I thought Psychotherapy would cure my Depression. But eventually I needed to be hospitalized for Major Depression. It was a relief to win my Disability case I had suffered so many years expecting a cure. I have never had a full remission of symptoms but I have improved. I fight this disease everyday with medication and other tools like Meditation and Exercise.
It's not your personal faul (always keep it in mind !). Clinical depression is a serious case, one of my best buddies suffers from this and I'm suffering with him. Let me tell you one thing: there are true healers out there that can cure you completely ! But you won't find them on the net. Psychiatrists like Dr. Marks (btw she looks smoking hot), well she is a doc whose job is to teach how to live with that shit, but it can be cured for sure step-by-step.
You are so to the point that there is no cure. I gave up on curing my bipolar disorder. Medications only manage my symptoms.
did you try ketogenic diet
