Esto incluye mitos e informaci\u00f3n falsa sobre c\u00f3mo los medicamentos tratan la depresi\u00f3n, la ansiedad, el trastorno bipolar y otros trastornos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication-16x12.jpg 16w\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3038 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Taking-Medication-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muchas personas dudan en tomar medicamentos para sus trastornos de salud mental por varias razones. Esto es realmente lamentable, ya que los medicamentos recetados pueden marcar una gran diferencia en el \u00e9xito del tratamiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sin embargo, a medida que aprenda m\u00e1s sobre estos mitos y por qu\u00e9 son falsos, es posible que se sorprenda al conocer el importante papel de la medicaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solo la Medicaci\u00f3n Enmascara el Problema<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si has vivido con depresi\u00f3n durante mucho tiempo, es posible que hayas perdido la esperanza de encontrar una mejor\u00eda. Tal vez te hayas resistido a tomar medicamentos porque crees que en realidad no ayudar\u00e1n. M\u00e1s bien, podr\u00edas pensar que solo enmascaran las causas fundamentales, dej\u00e1ndolo entumecido pero menos triste o ansiosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management-16x12.jpg 16w\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3039 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Medication-Management-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sin embargo, los antidepresivos no son lo mismo que tranquilizantes o sedantes. El objetivo no es dejar de pensar en tus problemas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e1s bien, los antidepresivos act\u00faan aumentando los niveles de sustancias qu\u00edmicas en tu cerebro que controlan tu estado de \u00e1nimo. Pueden ser una herramienta muy \u00fatil para ayudarte a abordar los problemas en tu vida que pueden contribuir a tu depresi\u00f3n o ansiedad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tomar Medicamentos Significa que Soy D\u00e9bil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La creencia de que usar medicamentos significa que eres d\u00e9bil es realmente desafortunada. Si bien a muchos de nosotros nos gusta ser independientes y demostrar que podemos manejar la vida por nuestra cuenta, esta actitud realmente puede evitar que encontremos una curaci\u00f3n completa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podr\u00eda ser \u00fatil considerar tu enfermedad mental desde una perspectiva diferente. La depresi\u00f3n, la ansiedad y otros problemas tienen ra\u00edces muy reales en tu cerebro. Puede ayudarte a reconocer que son verdaderos problemas m\u00e9dicos (como lo son). As\u00ed como tratar\u00edas la diabetes, la presi\u00f3n arterial alta o el c\u00e1ncer con medicamentos, es apropiado hacer lo mismo con la salud mental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El uso de medicamentos puede empoderar y abrir la puerta a un futuro mejor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Medicaci\u00f3n es de por Vida<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quiz\u00e1s haya escuchado rumores de que las personas que usan antidepresivos o medicamentos contra la ansiedad deben tomarlos de por vida. Le preocupa convertirse en adicto y no quiere sentirse atrapado o controlado por su necesidad de medicaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication-16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3040 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Mental-Health-Medication-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afortunadamente, los medicamentos a menudo se usan solo durante un per\u00edodo de tiempo espec\u00edfico. No puedes volverte adicta a estos medicamentos como lo har\u00eda con los narc\u00f3ticos o las drogas ilegales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si bien es importante no dejar de tomar antidepresivos de golpe, usarlos para ayudar a tratar tus trastornos de salud mental no significa que te volver\u00e1s adicta. Discute sus preguntas sobre el uso y la interrupci\u00f3n con tu proveedor de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Los Efectos Secundarios son Demasiados<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las personas a menudo se preocupan por los efectos secundarios de los antidepresivos y los medicamentos contra la ansiedad. Es posible que te preocupe aumentar de peso, estar demasiado cansada, el insomnio y los efectos secundarios sexuales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sin embargo, la realidad es que diferentes medicamentos funcionan de manera diferente en diferentes personas. Puedes experimentar algunos efectos secundarios, pero a menudo mejoran con el tiempo. Tambi\u00e9n puede sopesar los beneficios del uso a corto plazo de medicamentos con los riesgos a largo plazo de no usarlos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication-16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3041 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Side-Effects-of-Medication-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asimismo, los investigadores han desarrollado muchas opciones de medicamentos nuevos. Los m\u00e1s nuevos a menudo tienen menos efectos secundarios y pueden actuar de manera diferente en el cerebro que los m\u00e1s antiguos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al igual que con cualquier medicamento, encontrar el adecuado para usted puede ser un proceso de prueba y error, pero est\u00e1 bien. Una vez que experimentes la ayuda que te pueden brindar los medicamentos, es posible que te sientas gratamente sorprendida y contenta de haber tomado la decisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Junto con los medicamentos, la terapia tambi\u00e9n juega un papel importante en el tratamiento de los trastornos de salud mental. De hecho, buscar terapia mientras se est\u00e1 tomando medicamentos puede ser muy eficaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si tienes preguntas sobre c\u00f3mo la terapia y los medicamentos pueden funcionar juntos, comun\u00edcate con mi oficina para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si est\u00e1 considerando encontrar un terapeuta para su hijo, hemos creado una mini gu\u00eda que comparte con usted 5 consejos sobre c\u00f3mo seleccionar el mejor terapeuta para usted y su familia.
