Depression Go Depression Treatment. Symptoms. Medication. Diagnosis. Causes. Risk Factors.

My neighbor is suffering from depression. He just lost his wife a few weeks ago and now he’s all alone in his big house. I visited him just the other day to give him some of the lasagna I made for dinner and I discovered that he’s turned into an alcoholic. There were wine bottles everywhere and he looks like a big mess. I want to help my neighbor because I was a friend to his wife. Does anyone know of a dual diagnosis treatment center that can help my neighbor? Replies are highly appreciated.

I notice I felt depressed lately, and even since childhood. I also noticed that during the day I am happy and during the evening I feel sad, but also a different personality. I noticed that I get angry quick and irritated. I also noticed that I think about alot of negative thoughts and I find it hard to think positive. I sometimes get panic attacks and always worried about things. Sometimes I would feel happy and then my heart sinks for some reason, even if I am not thinking about anything. Why is that? What tests are used to determine biploar and depression? I also excessively sleep in the morning and have insomnia at night. Sometimes I would feel adrenaline running inside me at night for some reason. I would sometimes feel fatigue and low on energy. I always feel anxiety as well. I would also procrastinate and avoid daily activites, because I feel sleep sometimes letargy happens. Then I get hypersexuality everyday. What is this?
In response to the questions yes i do Eat properly i even exercise everyday for at least 1 hour.i even sleep at least 8 hours a day and take a multivitamin and drink lots of water. The thing is i had this problem since childhood.i also got tired with things that seem fun to people basically bored with life.i didnt label myself that it was comment on other people.i do take provigil in regards to excessive sleepiness.and there is môre to it but its kind of personal.

I am a young college student and I know that I am aflficted with depression. It’s not severe, but I feel that it dooes hinder my academic performance ability, especially the past couple of semesters, including this one. How can I seek treatment without it having to become "a big deal"? Can anyone else relate to this situation? If so, any advice or thoughts? Thank you .

My sister has been suffering from depression and now she’s gotten herself dependent on heroin too. Our parents are away, and I want to get her treated because I don’t think it would be good to let this go on any longer than it already has. Does any one know of drug rehabs that have programs for people with depression as well as addiction?

Im trying to find out if people in the mental health field (Psychiatrist / Psychologist / Counselors) have a higher rate of depression, biploar, and even suicide than Physical health related professionals (Doctors, Nurses, and Surgeons). I am EXCLUDING Dentist’s. And the basis for the question is the fact that people say to be in the mental health field you have to be a little crazy as it is AND you have to be more mentally stable as a physical care provider due to the more graphic situations. And Im trying to find some sort of study with factual data to prove my theory. Thanks for reading.

Sorry that this is poorly worded, I just don’t know how to ask it. Basically can abusing vicodin cause someone to develop depression?
What I mean is that even when you’re off the drug completely (went to rehab; no longer using; et cetera) you’re a totally different depressed person.

I’ve been on EFFEXOR XR 300 mg for about two months now. Are mood, concentration, focus the last symptoms to improve?

i’ve been a mental health patient for over 10 years and it seems to that it may last a life time, I’m on medication but it get so frustrating at times. I dont feel free and I would love to be anxiety and depression free. maxiroots

When I got married my husband was on Lexapro. He told me that when he was going through his divorce that he was really depressed and that is why he was taking it. He also said that he would get angry really easy at the kids, not physically abusive just very quick temper. Well, the Lexapro makes him bruise very easily. If you look at his body, he looks as if he was in a major fist fight or car accident. This is all the time.

He has started cutting back his dosage. This is the correct way to wean off an anti depressant. But since then I have noticed a definite change in personality. Very quick temper. Like I said, not abusive but just fly off the handle and then realize that he was doing it and chill out. My issue is this is not the person I married. Slamming doors over silly things, yelling at the kids for little stuff, etc.

I talked with him about it and he is open and worried about it too. I do not want him on drugs that hurt his body but what should we do?

Approximately 1 1/2 year ago, these symptoms showed up after my period and have baffled around 4 gyns. All STD tests have come back negative. No yeast, no trich, no BV. I’m only 20 and this is ruining my life, it has made me go into terrible depression which I only just got out of:

-I used to have a clear, tasteless, and abundant vaginal discharge now it is white, scant, and tastes very bitter
-Extreme cervical tenderness
-My vagina is very raw and red from this discharge
-I used to be able have a lot of lubrication at a drop of a dime, now barely any at all
-Extremely painful deep penetration
-Terrible back pain
-Severe lower right abdominal pain (it used to be an ovarian cyst when I was younger but ultrasounds show nothing)

Please, any help is appreciated. I am leaning towards it possibly being PID. I was on Vibramycin and Doxycycline and it helped a little but it’s back. I was also on Amoxicillin which actually helped the best. But as soon as I get off the meds,it’s back
