Most commonly used psychiatric medicines, such as antidepressants and mood stabilisers, are not addictive. A few sedative medicines can be habit-forming; these are used carefully, briefly and with clear limits.

Medicines are meant to help you feel like yourself again, not change who you are. Some cause mild drowsiness at the start; doses are adjusted so that you can function well.

Please do not stop suddenly. Your psychiatrist will advise how long to continue and how to taper safely to prevent relapse or discontinuation symptoms.

Yes, with your consent. Family involvement often helps, and you can also have part of the consultation privately.
