I am going through so much now that I often contemplate suicide. I won't do it because I don't want to hurt the ones I love.

There are other people, however that don't even know or believe that I am depressed. They think that I can just "snap" out of it. These are the same people that if I did commit suicide would tell other people, "If only we had known how depressed she really ...

I was just taken off depakote today because it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me except giving me a headache.

I was prescribed trileptal, zoloft, and trazodone. Has anyone taken any of these, and what side effects did you have, if any? I have done a little research, but I get contradicting information, so I was looking for real-life experiences. TIA.

I have been misdiagnosed with many things and was forced to take several drugs for them. They messed me up. Now, my only diagnoses is Tourette Syndrome and OCD.

I have in the times of depression wondered and researched to know if I had any ...

Ive been on zoloft for 3.5 weeks now and I take 75 mg a day and take 50 mg of trazadon at bed time when needed. Doctor seems to think that I am not bi-polar but a few times a week I get hyper manic from the zoloft and or trazadone. I was hoping maybe some one here found out they were bipolar from taking ssri meds and or if any one has any advice ...

Hello

I've been browsing these forums for a while now, trying to figure out what is wrong with me. The thing is, I have very major mood swings, up and down, up and down, up and down, often daily. The best way I feel I can describe it is a fluctuation between a high self esteem and low self esteem. Sometimes I feel nearly euphoric and other times I feel really down, almost rock bottom, ...

sorry for the long post -- I am looking for a top notch psychiatric treatment facility for a difficult case of depression / anxiety / suicide. We have tried a few hospitals and one private in-patient institute, with no luck.

If you can recommend any facilities (anywhere in U.S.) please post a reply! I will check them out online and give them a call.

Here is my story:

My dad, age 70 -- has severe ...

My name is Yan Leykin, I'm a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I study psychology and specialize in depression. I was hoping that you could help me.

As you certainly know, for many people suffering from this disease, decision-making may be a challenge. Given that we make numerous decisions every day, this aspect of depression deserves to be investigated. Unfortunately, very little is known so far.

I have an ongoing web-based project designed ...

Hi, first off, I'd like to say that I know life is give and take. I know that the world doesn't revolve around anyone. My problems affect you in absolutely no way, shape or form. So reply or don't reply at your own discretion.
