Barring a few exceptions, most psychiatric medications are non-sedative. Irregular treatments, self-modulation of doses, and irregular lifestyles can hamper your treatment. Psychiatric medications taken under the supervision of a psychiatrist are not addictive.
Treatment duration is influenced by various factors, including your diagnosis, the seriousness of your condition, how long you've experienced symptoms, any other medical conditions you have, and how consistently you adhere to treatment plans.
