Read all the above.
My understanding is medicine is just one aspect of treating mental illness.  You would need family support, surrounded by positive people, remove negative people and situations from your life, physical activity to improve physical and mental fitness, counselling and must do your homework with counselling, enhancement of spiritual journey and above all PRAYERS.
It does take years/decades to fight with your thoughts. These meds block the thoughts and do give side-effects. 
Bhul Chuk Maaf!

for anyone interested in what these “meds” really do

Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh ji veer ji.
 
Thanks very much for praying for dass as i really thankful. Its a horrible situation that i feel like i am stuck in now. I would like to give my daswand to the gurdwara sahib but i haven't got any job or work at the moment. The jobcentre has declared me unfit for work so i am just getting my benefit money which is not a lot. But i do give any change i have to the homeless people i seen walking in the streets.
 
The reason this whole thing hit this bad with the nightmares is a topic i rather not go into to much on here as its a public page. So i will try to send you a private message for that. Yes it was a ardas that i did for my cousin that has backfired on me big time and is the reason that since last 10 years i am in the position i am in now.
 
The voices i have been hearing is not something i want to mention on here as I don't people think i am crazy or sick in the head cos i am not either of them.

Daas convinced his state ordered antipsychotic injections to be cancelled thru GURKIRPA. I am very powerful. I got in legal trouble and they forced me on that bs. But now im healing fully by gurkirpa and trusting my mind and soul. I had worst abuse at hands of caregivers. I had extreme ptsd but because i stood up for myself im here. Dassm pitta guided me

@chintamatkaroveer ji very interesting writings you have posted on here the site. 
 
Dass himself takes 2 antipsychotics along with antidepressant, mood stabiliser, sedatives and a benzodiazepine.
I have been on a number of antidepressants in the beginning but you are right the side effects were nasty with sertraline which was horrible as the headaches it caused were unbearable. I also had problems with mirtazapine,citalopram as well.
I give you credit about your views about psychiatrists as the first one in my treatment was horrible along with a few others i have been given. Even the therapists are equally bad as well.
 
Back to myself i suffer from ptsd depression and the psychiatrist said the psychosis i get is a extension of the ptsd that's what the shrink said. Luckly the last 2 psychiatrist i have seen are good talking wise but only Waheguru Guru Sahib Ji's kirpa will cure me one day as the medication side i have seen now.
 

Wjkk wjkf ji. Dass is happy to help. Even i know this shabad off by heart as it was one of my first banis that i used to do jaap off before the current banis which i love right now. 
 
From experience i don't remember much maryada of it as i just used to do the jaap of it whenever i wanted and it yes it does help a lot the jaap of this shabad. So yes its free timing 24 hours a days from what i know. Like misri sweet can be eaten any time. 
 
So its best to start the jaap when you can and it will be great if you join this website as a member lol.

I got what you mean. 

In my initial reply, my reply was bit short cut.  WAHEGURU for us and other names for Hindus. 
 
Thanks for the above Gurbani reference, would read tomorrow. 

I am a beginner, failing at every step, getting up again and trying to move forward. 
My understanding so far is that the ONLY  key to success is NAAM SIMRAN. IT IS THE EASIEST AND THE MOST REWARDING WAY. 
 
Please wait for input from the experienced Gurmukhs.

May I know what exactly do you want to achieve by doing this simran?
As far as I know, most of the active users of this forum are after prabhu prapti not anything else.

thanks very much. i found this video very helpful 
 

Luckily I don't have an open style modern kitchen, I always turn on the exhaust fan in the kitchen keeping the kitchen door closed.  I use nice fragrance candles in the living room and near the main entrance (live in the UK) just outside the kitchen while cooking. Best to keep your bedrooms and wardrobes closed as well.  Use a candle in the kitchen once I finish my cooking.  Most important I cook curries mostly on weekends. 
At work, I use polo and perfume to freshen my mouth and clothes resp. Someone is always eating curry in the staff room as gore loves it. 
Nobody ever said I smell like curry. 
Hope it helps!

I listen to Premanand Maharaj Ji advising women not to do something during periods, don’t recall what exactly. He did say naam simran is fine. 
 
it is in Hindu religion, not in ours as Guru Nanak Dev Ji was against such kind of gender discrimination.

You can die from alcohol withdrawl. I understand your sentiment. For me personally I don't mind my change goes to a drug, that they can't change anything about using yet, so they can live one more day and pray Akal changes them when they pray for change. 
But that's a personal thought. It's excellent you connect with them.

Its fine bhen ji to play audio track of bramh kavach is ok. Its really good bhen ji that you are trying your best to read this mahaan bani keep it up !!!

Is there a reason we think they can't?

The Hindu mantar for God right now is Ram, for 1, not Ram as in Rama.
