Accutane / Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) is a very effective medication for acne and we have seen a high increase in its prescription by physicians in Botswana over the past few years. However, patients and physicians should be aware that this drug can have psychiatric side effects which include depression, anxiety and even psychosis. Though these side effects are rare, they do present to psychiatrists from time to time. Those who already have mental health problems should particularly be cautious and if possible seek the opinion of a psychiatrist before starting the drug. Physicians should also routinely screen patients for mental illness before prescribing the drug, and caution them as necessary. So, be careful, that pursuit of a perfect skin can result in a mental health crisis.

Anxiety is a common illness in Botswana that affects both men and women. Though having anxiety from time to time is normal, we say you have an anxiety disorder if you experience intense, excessive feelings of anxiety, worry or panic about day to day situations and the anxiety is interfering with your life. Other signs of anxiety include an increased heartbeat (palpitations), shortness of breath or chest tightness, trembling or shaking, dizziness, difficulty sleeping and muscle tension / muscle pains. Sometimes people end up rushing to hospital after mistaking anxiety for a heart attack or other life-threatening condition because it can make one feel like they are about to die. Do you think you suffer from anxiety? Book with a psychiatrist or a mental health professional for assessment. Our contacts for appointments: 73005964 or 3188803

It is not reasonable to have a sad, unfulfilled life then after meeting someone demand that they make you happy or complain everyday about being unhappy, implying that it is their "duty" to fill the emptiness you have always had. Relationships work better if both parties are happy and fulfilled when they meet and they share this together going forward or at least each accepts the baggage they come with and are willing to continue working on it without blaming or over-burdening the other.
