Family treatment is a crucial part of reentry into the home. Family passes for both the child and the family can be quite instrumental in the readjustment period. Also, they could best direct you for the specific needs of your son and your family.

Avatar n tn category and so is getting a fair degree of attention these days by the folks down at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Although PANDAS itself is rare, I think, it is getting a lot of attention because whatever therapy can de devised to cure or control it may also work for folks who just have OCD and other disorders -without the strep part- and that, indeed, is a large population.
Avatar m tn Just a little suggestion. Congratulations again on your 22 years. I look forward to having a year without symptoms (going on 7 months since last manic episode and subsequent depression)!!!!
Avatar f tn I also understand the fear of our symptoms. ALL of us have many, many symptoms in common, but most of us have one, or more, that REALLY scares us. If your anxiety just appeared this past June, it COULD BE situational anxiety. Meaning it could have been triggered by an event that happened around the time of your first anxiety attack. Anxiety most often presents itself when we have something inside us we aren't dealing with.

Avatar f tn I can remember the things my mother did that affected me as a child and I can see that sometimes I do the same things, like blowing up over nothing, mood shifts so fast, depression. My mom used to be a bit violent as well towards us and I fear that I too will end up that way. Thanks.
Avatar n tn s what double blinded studies have found. You can find them posted on the NIMH website. So the story is full of incorrect info. Is it the article or the study?
Avatar n tn My husband has been battling depression for almost 3 years now. We are newlyweds and are just looking for something that will finally do the trick so that we can enjoy being newlyweds before that phase has passed. He started out on 10mg of Lexapro in October of 2006. It was WONDERFUL for about 6 months until his body got used to it. When he went back to his doctor they switched him to Effexor. It made him very sick and nearly suicidal.
Avatar f tn The norepinephrine likely has some pro dopamine effects and can be better for negative depression symptoms such as lethargy and poor concentration. Additionally, peripheral pain transmission appears to be decreased with norepinphrine over seratonin agents alone. They both have descending pathways down the spinal cord. Sleep is critical in mood treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated much more rapid improvement of depression with clonazepam coadministered at night for sleep, with Prozac.
Avatar n tn m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.
Tbd s been any studies of people personally affected by depression. I do know the NIMH states suicide is the 3rd leading cause of fatalities of people between the ages of 13 and 30. I think that tells you its fairly common for young people to be suffering from depression.

Symptoms of depression can include an extreme feeling of sadness, sometimes you can’t sleep or you sleep too much, you cant concentrate, you feel hopeless, you have negative thoughts that you cant control no matter how much you try! you can lose your appetite or sometimes you even gain appetite. You can be easily irritated.
Avatar f tn Hi Peg, Gosh, you sound really frustrated! I am not a Doctor and you'll find that most of us on this Board (if not all of us) are NOT Board certified Psychiatrist nor Doctors. Therefore, we can't tell what's wrong with your Med combinations and why none of them are working any more. You take a fairly high dosage of Zoloft , as well as Wellbutrin, plus I'm not sure what the other meds you're on are for.
1054985 tn?1257173275 ), I am very tired, have bits of depression. Are these symptoms or just the disease itself? I guess the question is this an episode or just minor things that MS cause. Is a person with MS tired all the time or just during episodes?
Avatar f tn I have been told that my physical symptoms are likely to be due to depression and the lymphocytosis a result of having asthma. I have been taking antidepressants (60mg Duloxetine/ daily - for 12 months), although I stopped taking them 2 months ago as they had no effect on my symptoms. I don't know whether these symptoms are physical or psychological. Can depression cause the physical symptoms i've mentioned above? If so what can I do about it?
Avatar f tn Most people who use have depression and alot are not being treated for it. Depression is a real illness just as addiction talk to your Dr. about it and dep. can slip up on you with out you even reliezing it.
Avatar f tn Hey Hun, The following symptoms aren't really that of PCOS but that of depression (excluding the gushes of blood at menustration). I have PCOS & depression and I have definitely had most of those symptoms due to depression or since it is around menustration it could be Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). I hope that helps.
