1174869 tn?1441311668 I'm 15 and cannot concentrate properly at school anymore and am constantly having suicidal thoughts; I have been diagnosed with depression however the type is not yet known. I am always sad and pretty much always isolating myself up in my room which is unusual for me. My school grades have dropped and I have gone from pretty much average in the highest class to bottom of the set. I have self harmed to try and create a distraction.
Avatar f tn I have a chemical imbalance so I will be on medication for the rest of my life. I had a friend who got depressed after the death of her husband and was only on them for two years. The problem is , as an illness, depression, tends to tell you you do not need to treat it. It is a struggle every day for me to take my medication because a voice says " You are better you do not really need these pills." I have learned the hard way not to listen to that voice.
Avatar f tn The 57 subjects who completed 48 weeks of antiviral therapy reported significant increases in difficulty concentrating, emotional distress, and symptoms of depression, all of which improved after cessation of therapy [P 0.05).

Avatar f tn re not already on anti-depressants, they may be recommended before you start treatment as the treatment drugs can make depression worse.
2011699 tn?1328933353 A serious potential side effect of Hep C treatment is depression. People who suffer depression while taking treatment, people who have thoughts of suicide or self-harm or people with a family history of depression should be encouraged to access support and counseling. Anyone with a history of depression should be monitored throughout their treatment to make sure that treatment is not causing a major depressive episode.
901137 tn?1267626189 The neuropsychologist findings indicated I scored in the severe range of depression and that I had many signs of an endogenous depression correlated with a dysthymic disorder. My doctor did not agree with the “severe” designation in light of my ability to function on a day to day basis. The people in my life have no idea there is a problem. In fact, unless I mention it to my wife she thinks everything is fine. No one knows what a struggle it is to get through the day.
Avatar f tn People tend to get helped tremendously by going on a gluten-free diet with symptoms of bipolar, depression, anxiety and other emotional and physical difficulties. I would definitely look into it if I were you as it may be able to help since you said nothing else really has. Good luck and feel better soon!
Avatar f tn ve had hep C for twenty years, and my doctors always told me it was not necessary to treat, however, I am in my third week of treatment now and wish I had treated earlier. I had prepared myself for treatment in such a way that you would have thought I was preparing to go to the guillotine! It has not been bad at all, so far. Side affects from treatment do vary from person to person. There is a great amount of support for you -- this forum is one, and an excellant one at that.
Avatar f tn Deteriorating aspects such as bleeding varicies, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, weakness, tiredness, jaundice, increased possibility of HCC is preferable over the possibility of treatment-induced depression which might be controlled with medication? How fast can you really get to another doctor?

Avatar f tn The last psychiatrist and Hep C Dr. that I was seeing knew of my depression and both decided I was not a candidate for treatment. However there is hope. My new Hep C Dr. is now sending me to a new psychiatrist at the same hospital and told me this Dr. would cure me of my depression, he's supposed to be very good at what he does. Then my Hep C Dr.s plans are to treat me on interferon when I am truly happy and they have high hopes.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone, this is a very hard question for me to ask anyone but I am desperate! Does anyone know if ECT or magnetic treatment really helps a person with severe depression? I have taken every type of anti depressant out there and either they do not help my depression or I cannot tolerate the side effects. Right now I am not taking anything except for something for my anxiety and I need something that will help my depression. I am desperate to find something that will help my depression.
Avatar f tn d rather be CC genotyped, have the greater risk of depression, but also have a much greater chance of clearing the virus. Most treatment related depression can be dealt with with meds. So I've heard.
602261 tn?1252583158 m supposed to maybe start treatment after the 11th of Oct and I know a lot of depression meds take 4 to 6 weeks to start working. Once again any advice and or perspective on this would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn To the poster, for treating clinical depression, it is widely known that the best course of treatment involves a combination approach of medication and talk therapy. You sound to have a very complex medical history though. ADHD, mood disorders and depression requires a good psychiatrist to manage. Good communication with your doctor is essential as you try different medications to improve the situation. Add each one slowly monitoring if you improve in any way.
Avatar f tn thats really too bad ...thanks for posting it ...i've seen posts like this ever once in a while here but not too often...could the depression be the cause of the fatigue??? i haven't tx yet but sometimes i wonder if my anxiety and depression are causing a lot of my fatigue ...good luck with everything...
Avatar m tn t put a lot of faith in self exams, from what you describe it is obvious that you need to seek the assitance of a professional mental healthcare worker who can take a complete psychological profile, make an evaluation and a diagnosis and then develop a treatment plan that may or may bot include the use of medication(s) and/or adjunct therapy. Your lack of sleep also aggravates your condition, so take care of this as soon as possible. It'll get worse before it gets better.
