Advice on antidepressants and ADHD medication. How do I get prescriptions for them here in Bangkok?

In Europe, I received regular monthly prescriptions which enabled me to get the necessary medication for my already diagnosed depression and ADHD issues. I moved to Thailand with several months worth of supplies. However eventually I will run out and that would be bad for me.

The medication I usually take for my depression is Zoloft, and I take Concerta for my ADHD.

I was thinking of finding a psychiatrist here in Thailand, then presenting them with my documentation from Europe which proves that I suffer from these conditions. Hopefully that would allow me to get the prescriptions I need so that I can buy the monthly medication I need.

Is this an option here in Bangkok? I don't want to have to go through a battery of tests again for a condition I've already been thoroughly diagnosed within Europe.

Also once I have already received the initial prescription here in Thailand, would I still have to visit the psychiatrist each and every month or can I make a phone call and pay a specific amount so that I can update my monthly prescription? This was how we do it in the country I live in Europe. You called once a month and they updated your prescription each month. I would rather avoid paying for costly consultations when all that's needed is my prescription to be updated.

I just got back home from Thailand 3 weeks ago and now I think I have a post vacation depression, is this common? Can anyone give me advice on how to cope and deal with it?

Hello everyone.

I just have a concern not related to Thailand Visa. Instead about an unusual experience I just had while walking along Sukhumvit Road today. I thought it was just a tourist scam but it wasn't at all.

I've been staying in Bangkok for almost 2 years now, but this is the first time I encountered this. I went out to but some fruits but it suddenly rained so hard a while ago. I went under the shade, and there was a lady (who looked like a tourist) with a luggage/bag sitting nearby. But she suddenly came closer to me and started to take a video of the roof above me. Then she started saying "it's for the police, there are "spies" walking around, etc."

I was creeped out and just left the shade. I bought my fruits and after 5 mins., I had to walk back home, and I still saw her sitting there, even when the rain has stopped. Then she suddenly walked towards me, and told me "go to police station with me, terrorist,etc."

And I said "huh??" then I walked really fast, I kept looking at my back if she was following me. At first she attempted to follow me, but thankfully she went back under the shade.

I'd just like to ask if you have heard anything like this before? I'm really concerned & worried about this since it's my first time to have encountered it here in Bangkok.

Would like to know your thoughts/advice about this. Thank you so much

EDIT:

Thank you all for your comments. Really helped me make sense of this. She most probably had a delusion/psychotic episode.

EDIT:

Turning off comments. I've understood the situation now. Hope she gets help and support 🙏 Thank you all for the perspectives. Take care everyone.

Hey everyone,

I would like your help in a slightly different matter please. For my final year Uni dissertation, I will be looking at the psychological effects of long distance relationship separation during the Covid-19 pandemic.

If anyone here is currently in a long distance relationship and has not seen their partner for a long time? I would really appreciate it if you could take 5-10 minutes to complete my online questionnaire.

Even if you have been recently reunited with your partner, you can still fill it out, you'll just need to trace your memory back to the stressful experiences and your mindset whilst you were stranded abroad.

This is a first of its' kind, so i'm hoping for some really interesting data.

Thank you (-:

How it feels waiting for quarantine to finish

Day 9 for me 😁😁

What about everyone else??
