Depression, Anxiety and Adrenaline



1. Lorazepam taken daily will help condition your mind to not trigger adrenaline that is causing the physical and mental symptoms. 
2. Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor (SSRI) like sertraline or escitalopram will increase serotonin so that your mind does not trigger the adrenaline.
3. Mindfulness is a non-drug method of using meditation to get your mind to not trigger the adrenaline.

Practicing meditation and using mindfulness can help lower blood pressure and bring the heart rate back to 60 beats per second. 

This is not a sprint, this is a marathon that will last the rest of our lives.

One of the key messages is "in the present moment" and this means every moment.

Meditation is active mental conditioning to live in the present moment and stop the mind from triggering adrenaline.

Practice the mental activities of mindfulness anywhere, anytime.
Driving in your car, count your breaths then start  expanding your focus to include your sense of touch, your sense of visual awareness of what is to the left and right of you ahead.
Practice counting breaths while walking to focus the mind.

The goal is to stop the adrenaline.
