I don’t want to take sleeping pills. Just want to take a little mood stabilizer. Can I do that? Thank you for your answer! Doctor: Hello! I don’t know if the “post-schizophrenic depression” you are referring to is diagnosed by your doctor. In addition to the original anti-dissociation treatment, post-dissociation depression should also be treated for depressed mood. Therefore, like you said, you need to use mood stabilizing drugs, such as lithium carbonate, magnesium valproate, etc. Sometimes you also need to use antidepressants and drugs to improve sleep. These medications are available in Jingmen and can be seen at the hospital. Patient: Hello doctor! Thank you for your answer. I don’t want to take sleeping pills. I just want to take a little mood stabilizer. Can I do that? Thank you for your answer! Doctor: It can be done, mood stabilizer + original antipsychotic. Patient: Thank you for your answer! I’d like to ask again how long that will take? Thank you! Doctor: Of course it takes longer, it could be 1 or 2 years, or 3 or 5 years, etc. It depends on the specific condition, the course of treatment, the number of relapses, the pre-morbid personality, the compliance with treatment, etc. Thank you! Get well soon.
