Is this to do with Sz? Or is it anxiety or depression?

im watching a video now that mentioned racing mind. Says it can have to do with low GABA which is a neurotransmitter. Says its like the “breaks of the brain”. Exercise, good gut health and some other things can help it. I would say its associated with anxiety, but i think sometimes anxiety and depression go hand in hand

interesting video @POET, thanks for sharing. I’m actually using Complex B-vitamins and L-Theanine already. I feel the benefits particularly from L-Theanine. I’ve tried magnesium in the past & didn’t notice any change. I don’t think I could handle a keto diet.
@Joker I often have racing thoughts accompanied by extreme irritability and anger. I’ve found ap’s are the only thing that helps.

I was given Olanzapine PRN 5mg twice a day and it worked great for about a week but now it’s come back again.

yea i dunno im mainly focusing on exercise right now trying to raise gaba
oh no @Joker, that sounds so hard. From memory you were going to see your pdoc soon. How did that go, did she/he have any helpful ideas?
I was put on Zoloft (sertraline) which I hope will help. If not he said my Diazepam will be increased.
Thanks for your message @Flutterby

I had racing thoughts, off the charts, almost drove me mad, when i was off meds
sorry if I’m repeating myself here… have you tried supplements? I find L-Theanine helpful and have sarcosine coming in the post. I know they’re just an adjunct to ap’s but I figure even a small improvement is significant to my quality of life.
Good luck with the Zoloft, fingers crossed it helps.
I don’t take supplements. Never done it before. I wouldn’t take anything without my pdocs approval.
Thanks I hope so too.

Antidepressants can cause racing thoughts though
What is the sarcosine for exactly
I hope that it does not get worse.
Hows the racing & intrusive thoughts going on zoloft?
They have settled. I have also been seeing a psychologist who is helping me
