Managing anxiety, depression and pain
DATE: Thursday 14th April 2022
In any one year, around 1 million Australian adults have depression, and over 2 million have anxiety.1 For those who experience depression and anxiety daily, even the smallest of tasks can be a challenge. Jinhee has been battling anxiety and depression as well as pain in her jaw, joints, and legs. The severity of her symptoms has meant she has struggled with her movement as well as her emotional state.
To manage the jaw, joint and leg pain, Jinhee was taking paracetamol, but this did not satisfactorily reduce her pain. Jinhee was also attending counselling in the pursuit of improving her mental state and reducing her depression and anxiety, however, she said that “it didn’t help much”.
Following a discussion with her doctor, Jinhee was provided with a Medlab Clinical drug under investigation evaluating the effectiveness of controlling pain. After using the drug, Jinhee’s pain had reduced, and she stopped using paracetamol for pain.
After taking the drug, Jinhee’s mood also improved. “I have mood stability, the Medlab Clinical drug helps me stay calm." Her feelings towards life were different and she experienced reduced suicidal feelings.
