Common Questions and Answers about Depression help line

Avatar f tn It is so hard now to get medicine from your Dr because of all the lawsuits and TVs commercials about taking antidepressants while pregnant. Bottom line you need help at least while your pregnant because its only going to get worse. Ask your Dr for 10 mg prozac. My Dr research it and said it was the safest one out there for depression.
Avatar n tn Hi. Well, some more details would sure help. Is he admitting his depression and acknowledging that it is contributing to problems? Is it problems between the two of you or in general? What is his willingness to get help?
Avatar m tn m not a doctor, but your thought pattern is way off. The meds will help with your true line of thinking. If you had diabetes, would you take insulin? If you had asthma, would you use an inhaler? You have a medical condition that requires meds. That this rash seems like a such a burden is your depression speaking, not your true line of thought. Please check out our depression forum, and get this other thing checked out.
Avatar f tn Some drug companies even supply meds to unemployed and under insured folks. The help line has a huge resource base. I hope that helps and keep in touch. We can support you, but when you're feeling this low, see your doctor and maybe get hooked up with a therapist. Do you have family that could help you?
Avatar n tn Pregnancy is hard and depressing. There situational relevant depression and then depression, with pregnancy those feelings can be normal but because tv etc shows us pregnancy is supposed to be this big great fantastical event it can make us even more down. Personally because I have had depression in the past I have a line that if it gets crossed I know I need actual help.
Avatar f tn but there is a fine line i think btwn that and depression...there is no shame in askibg for help and talking to your drs...this may mean your at higher risk for ppd...
Avatar f tn Please go to your doctor & let them know what is going on. Sounds like you are depressed. There is help out there & the sooner you get it the sooner your life will get back to normal. Please don't think you can "kick it" by yourself. The longer it goes on with no help the harder it is to get it under control. Please sit down & share with your boyfriend how you are feeling. He can't help if he doesn't know.
Avatar f tn Your subject line identifies "depression". Are you being treated for that condition? There are many medications that help, therapy can also help. I speak on this subject based on what I have learned from depression in family members. Both my wife and our son, now middle aged, have had battles with depression. Emotional stress can cause the heart to react and produce symptoms that may be related to the emotional stress, not to a heart physical/electrical problem.
Avatar f tn What exactly is a MOPS group? I was raised in church but it got forced down my throat so much that I made the decision to quit going. I used to have friends but where I live your friends are drug heads, so I chose to stay away from that. I hate feeling helpless but then I hate feeling like I'm playing victim too. You know?
Avatar m tn I DESPERATELY NEED HELP BUT NOT KNOWING WHERE I CAN GET THE HELP I NEED HAS LED ME TO SEVERE DEPRESSION AND THOUGHTS OF DYING. I AM NO CHILD (53 YRS OLD) SO MOSTLY PEOPLE TREAT ME LIKE THEY ARE SIMPLY WAITING FOR ME TO DROP AS IF , OH WELL, HE'S LIVED HIS LIFE AND HE MADE HIS OWN BED BUT I REALLY PRAY ALL THE TIME FOR GOD TO HELP ME FIX MYSELF BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE I AM NOT BEING HEARD. WHO REALLY WANTS TO DIE? I JUST HAVE A ZERO QUALITY OF LIFE AND FEEL HELPLESS IN MAKING THINGS BETTER.
Avatar m tn I would also really, really, work on exercise. Besides helping your ADHD, it will also help you sleep at night and help depression. But, to answer your question. I have seen posts of adult who take much more then you. As I said, it all depends on the person. But, I would certainly speak with you doc and experiment with the meds to find the least possible to take and still be effective. And definitely work on getting off the sleep meds by changing your routine for study, etc.

Avatar f tn I was the same way with baby #2 , but the depression will soon go away & you will enjoy your toddler again. Start trying to think about all the positive things that are ahead of you . And try to get some time to yourself to have a little fun .
Avatar n tn Sounds like you have been suffering from depression for some time. Have you sought professional help for it, and if so, what did they tell you? There are a number of treatments for depression that can vary depending on the type of depression you have, your symptoms , and who you see for treatment. It is said that the best treatment is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and medication.
Avatar f tn Then, you need to get some professional help. They can help you through your depression and try to find ways to help you cope or improve your situation. You may choose to medicate, you may not. But get help before your children regret that you didn't. Kids still love their parents when they are having mental/emotional issues. My kids have loved me through far too much and they would be lost without their mom (even though I'm not always a good mom).
Avatar n tn Bipolar disorder is a biochemical imbalance in the brain that is hereditary. It usually runs in the blood line on either side, or both sides of the family. In my family depression runs heavily on both sides and my mother has depression. Her siblings suffer from bipolar disorder. I always knew I had something wrong with the extreme imbalance I had with everything and when I got my diagnosis, it was a relief. Now I am finally getting on the right medications for me and feeling normal...
Avatar f tn Hey Everybody, I wanted to send an update on getting help for my depression. As of today 4-16-2012 I am still having a horrible time getting anytype of help. I have called my insurance company on numerous occassions to find a doctor that treats adults using ECT. So far I have just got a big run around, they give me the names of doctors and of course they do not treat adults with ECT. I am just about at the end of my rope with these people that work for my insurance company.
Avatar n tn Depression. To deal with your depression, you need to find the reason for it. Treating depression with antidepressants help when that is needed, but for you ... you can of course ask for a counselor, just to get a support through difficult times and all, but when the primary cause - the main reason for your symptoms in the first place is found, you have nailed your depression too.
Avatar f tn mklarson is offering you a solution to your problem. Might as well cooperate so you can get help in coping with depression. This forum is also open for you to vent what you feel as there are many people here who have the same case as you.Stay strong, stay focused. Help is on its way!
1365508 tn?1277931459 The first line treatment for depression is still the help of a psychotherapist. Looks like you started the wrong way. The therapy could bring you more than you think and usually for antidepressants to be really effective they need to be combined with psychotherapy. Healthy diet and exercise is another important key factor in dealing with depression. I won't get into the details but both have impact on your brain chemistry and hormones.
Avatar f tn My partner, i beleive has depression but wont accept help because she works in the phoscology field.what can i say .?what can i do? she took med but quit because she felt as if she didnt feel much on them. when confronted with the need for help she has told me i make her this way.. can anyone help she is with are second child,and i need to know. Is this what i should expect for are lives together?
Avatar f tn HI there, I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I think that your best course of action is to talk to someone. I think that at your age, you really need the support of your parents. Your mom would be a perfect choice and she would want to be included in this discussion.
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.
