So i've been taking paxil for anxiety/panic attacks/depression for the past 5 years and am terrified that i'm gonna end up like my bi-polar aunt. She's on lithium and a total zombie. We think she might even be borderline schizophrenic. When she's off her meds she's delusional, talks to herself and is totally in another world. My mom says my aunt was ok until she had kids and that's when all the bi-polar signs started to show. I have panic attacks around her because I really get scared that's how i'm gonna end up. Neither of my parents have been diagnosed with any mental disorders so should I even worry??? This is always in the back of my mind. Anyone have any input?
