Avatar m tn Well, if you're feeling very depressed and feeling very anxious. As for medication, you should first try therapy and lifestyle changes if you're able. Medication comes in if other means have failed and your life is unmanageable. This is basically any form of medicine -- you do the least invasive first and if it doesn't work then you look into the more invasive. Good luck.
Avatar f tn sounds like you do not have enough activities during the day to fill your schedule. try walking during the day and doing pregnancy yoga and other exercises that really helps release endorphins making you happy. also try taking up a hobby that will help keep you distracted. if it's not depression it's probably just lack of activity you're experiencing making you feel drained. you could pick up a few pregnancy books and start reading those of the series that's what I did.
Avatar n tn I was in the same situation with my 1st and it was a very trying time. But coming from someone who's been there ask ur dr to refer you to a therapist to help deal with your depression. I promise talking to a professional will help. Plus they help you mentally stabilize to be ready for the baby.
Avatar n tn since the past one year I have been taking medicines for depression viz, Serta- 50 mg (1-0-1) and Sizodon plus (0-0-1), but still not feeling good. What should I do as my confidence level has gone down.
Avatar f tn s happy chemicals), books you can get online (they have anxiety work books and depression work books for teenagers on amazon and ebay or check your local library). STaying connected is one of the most helpful things as feelings of isolation compounds the problem. Anyway, let me know how you are doing!
636568 tn?1236806808 I have had mental health problems for yonks! Thes include depression which is sometimes pyschotic, as well as self harm etc. I am on meds which help as anyone undergone CBT? If so has it been helpful? I have read books about it as self help but feel I need someone to bounce ideas off.. so I'm looking for a trained therapist.
Avatar m tn t fight him on this, get him the books, and I truly feel the more he learns the more open he will be to help. He may just be in denial right now, and once he learns more will feel better about seeking proper help. Good luck to both of you.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I'm pregnant with my second baby and have never been so hormonal. I have suffered with an anxiety disorder abs depression since early childhood and although I didn't not get post natal depression the first time, I'm really struggling this time. I think because our financial has changed and we are struggling. Also because my doctor told me I couldn't have anymore so it was a shock tu find out.
Avatar f tn Up the duff by Kaz Cooke is a great lighthearted read, doesnt scare you with the 'what ifs' like many other books do. And you get a bit of a giggle out of it. Its one to go through week by week.
Avatar m tn that is causing the depression. Since you have not mentioned what has led to your depression it is hard to say what might help. There are natural substances such as St. Johns Wart that have some success. Check with your local GNC and ask about natural remedies that help restore dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain. Exercise is a must. The harder you can push yourself the better. This will produce endorphines in the brain which lift your mood.
Avatar m tn t mean they have to or you have to take it, but it can help). But, if you like reading, try reading some self help books. Learned Optimism, The Feeling Good Handbook, and Mind Over Mood are some cognitive behavioral therapy books that can help you change the way you think about things. Perhaps religion or volunteering will help. Also, stop drinking. Even if it helps you escape now, if you actually want to get better, you have to stop.

Avatar f tn I knew I needed help. I go to sleep and wake up at the same time, got help with pain so I could fall asleep. I have lost weight and exercise which helps me. I sought out a Doctor for the ddepression. I also got a counselor who specializes in Chronic Illness. We do hypnosis which has helped. I can put myself to sleep or de stress when needed. I also have someone to talk things through with. Depression does not like to be treated. It is inertia.
Avatar f tn I have a case of depression and I am not sure what or who to turn to. I do have insurance, I lost it when I was laid off in Dec 2008. It is so hard to get through each day. I can not sleep, I have very bad mood swings and I have gained weight. I feel so hopeless and lost. Is there any where I can go go help. I live in Henderson Nv.
Avatar m tn I used to be on an SSRI for depression/anxiety but I stopped taking it over the past few months just because I didn't want to be on it anymore. I was considering going back on them because my anxiety levels seem to always be high these days. I am very anxious about the future and am always worried that things won't turn out well. I read books and stuff to try to help myself. Anxiety and depression run in my family as well, maybe I just use this as an excuse...
1317621 tn?1293042737 I just don't know what to say rather than I am sick of myself & the continues argument as what to do, what is right what is wrong , shall I end it & how. 5 years ago I choose med school, & the only reason I can think of is that I was used to hide between my books as they was my saviors from a family I couldn't get along with. I honestly remember me comforting myself there will be plenty to read- silly I know!
1458597 tn?1286373117 You are having emotions that are typical of depression. Depression robs you of positive feeling and depresses the good feelings we can get out of life. With treatment you can find your way back to your usual self so stick with what your doctor prrescribes and know you are not alone with this illness. Take care.
Avatar f tn You may feel no laughter or joy inside because these positive emotions have been blocked by unhappy memories. Old emotional hurts inevitably lurk inside. It is extremely important to express your feelings and talk about events. This can be done with friends or with a counsellor. Look at the consequences of internalising or pushing down negative feelings. Overcome depression by understanding and practising: The conscious ability to relax and release stress any time, anywhere.
Avatar f tn s natural and without side effects, the one that I took is the quick release capsule, after a week I was feeling great, I hope my story can help so many people, no matter what is the cause of your depression and anxiety, you don't loose nothing with trying something natural, another thing is you can't combine antidepressants with 5-HTP, you have take either one. I hope I can help many people out there in curing their depression and anxiety.
