However, it's realistic to avoid, or even just reduce the harmful forms of psychological stress, such as worries, anxieties, depression, fears, and agitation as well as the damaging physiological reactions, such as increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, weakened immune system, muscular tension, and so on. It's really no surprise that stress can also influence us to behave destructively or drastically. It should be stated though, that in coping with stress, we should aim to avoid ineffective or self-defeating approaches, including the overindulgence in smoking, alcohol and the abuse of drugs. These temporary “solutions” not only fail to relieve stress, but can also result in damage both physically, emotionally, and mentally. Not to mention the damage that can be done to relationships and your job as well.
Heading down that path can result in addictions and things spiraling out of control. Another common approach to controlling stress is through the use of what's known as “psychotropic” medication which is prescribed by physicians.
On the other hand, there's also behavioral and psycho-therapeutic techniques that work wonders as well. With most people, these kinds of treatments can be proven effective. But they definitely involve the person to be participating in their own recovery in order to be successful. However, if the person's stress is severe, then medical consultation could also be recommended.
Any knowledgeable physician will treat their patients with the most effective drug that has the fewest side effects based on that patient's particular medical history. They will then follow up with the patient's progress diligently, which I'm sure you're familiar with. They may even reduce the dosage or eliminate the medication entirely when the stress is at a more maintainable level.
You, as the patient, in this scenario, should not hesitate to ask questions of the psychiatrist about the different medications and their side effects. Sometimes, psychotherapy could even be suggested as treatment for more effective and longer lasting progress.
