Re: Depression / anxiety

I was referring to the patient getting the correct diagnosis, finding a treatment and dosage which suited them and produced a positive outcome. I realise that the type of anti-depressant might need...

Re: Depression / anxiety

Absolute twaddle, every aspect of your pronouncement.

Re: Depression / anxiety

Some anti-depressants may disagree with you - you need to try a different sort -talk to doc. I had one lot that that had an effect similar to your experience (it was Seroxat - noted for side-effects...

Re: Depression / anxiety

I didn't want anti-depressants - until I took them and got me and my life back.
Re-assess your feelings once you have alleviated the depression - by whatever means it takes. You really can't make...

Re: Depression / anxiety

Nor did our grandparents talk about HIV, SARS, MND, Alzheimers etc.

I am beginning to think 'mental illness' is the wrong term. We're talking about brain disorders. If any other organ didn't work...

Re: Depression / anxiety

What makes anyone think vitamins are not drugs? Of course they occur in nature, but then so does alcohol (a depressant), opium, salt, water. Take too much of any of these and they are not good for...

Re: Depression / anxiety
