Avatar f tn Hi I have posted a question in the heart rhythm forum but I am hoping that maybe someone will be able to help me here. I have major depression but my GP hasn't been able to find any medication that I can use as I also have Long QT and many antidepressants could cause a cardiac arrest (which I have had before) - I have been suffering depression for the last 4 - 6 months and after my mother's death 10 days ago I am ready to just give up.

665908 tn?1225291852 If she were suffering from Major Depression then there is a whole huge host of very profound symptoms she would be complaining about. (not always, but Major depression and anxiety is so painful that there would be other indicators I think) I would advise you to do a google search for "symptoms of Major depression." This will give a list of the signs and symptoms of a sufferer. You will find many sites that have links to such info as far as symptoms.
Avatar f tn In magnesium deficiency, neuronal (BRAIN) requirements for magnesium may not be met, causing neuronal damage which could manifest as depression. Magnesium treatment is hypothesized to be effective in treating major depression . These magnesium neuronal deficits may be induced by stress hormones, excessive dietary calcium as well as dietary deficiencies of magnesium.
Avatar n tn While Major depressive dissorders can effect the body in many physical ways, I have never heard of "physical Depression" without mental depression. Maybe something I have never heard of before.
Avatar n tn I think depression can be a combination of things - both physical and emotional. I used to get mind blowing headaches, which was partly caused by my depression, and then because I had them, it made me feel emotionally worse. It's a nasty cycle. From what you've described, you've been under a ton of stress, getting married is up there in the stress meter! I know when I've been ill, which I went through recently, it sure made my mood drop.
Avatar f tn I've been in a dark corner lately what are symptoms you have/get from depression??
Avatar m tn I have been taking various depression medications for about 15 years after being diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depression. I developed the PTSD in 1993. I'm a retired police officer, but I did my full 25 years and retired 2 years ago. My problem right now is that my anxiety is never under control, and a good analogy would be that feeling you'd get if you had to slam on your brakes to avoid running over a kid. I'm like that 24/7.
Avatar n tn According to blood tests, his thyroid levels are now where they should be, but he is still experiencing symptoms of hypothyroid. Most of the symptoms he is still suffering with seem to be mental in nature - depression, irritability, and 'brain fog'. He is in the I.T. field (mainly database stuff) and these symptoms have severely hampered his ability to work. He can't seem to focus or problem-solve. This has been a nightmare for both of us. Is this normal?
Avatar m tn I have major depression and right now I am depressed I do take meds for my depression. waht are some ways of dealing with depression?
Avatar m tn In another study, the combination of EPA plus the prescription antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) was better than either EPA or fluoxetine alone for treating major depression in a short-term (8-week) study of 60 people. However, a study of people with congestive heart failure and depression failed to show any additional benefit from EPA (930 mg) and DHA (750 mg) daily when added to treatment with the prescription antidepressant sertraline (Zoloft).

Avatar m tn m close to the mirror (unsure if this is the early stage of wart formation). I also noticed a depression in that part of my face as well. Now its been about 9 days after my encounter and the redness on my face has nearly gone away but the bumps and depression remain. I would like to add, I've been acne free for years, and it does not appear to look like any sort of pimple I would have gotten.
Avatar f tn But these symptoms are not necessarily due to depression, per se. And to make a diagnosis of major depression, one needs some other symptoms and feeling in addition to those such as fatigue, lack of energy and motivation, inability to concentrate. As a person who has experienced major clinical depression twice and now the side effects of Hep C Tx, I know there is a major difference.
Avatar m tn This is part of life. You’re HUMAN. In addition, you’ve been experiencing a major shift in your life due to depression, so you’re especially vulnerable. Celexa (citalopram) is reported to cause sexual side effects in some men. In addition, it should never be discontinued without checking with your physician because discontinuing it abruptly can also create problems. Valium (diazepam) can also cause sexual side effects, as well as drowsiness, especially when mixed with alchohol.
