News of Mood Disorders

I have recently broken up with my wife after a 6 year marriage, we have 1 child who is almost 2.
My wife suffers from ADHD and I have Bi-Polar I disorder. We are both on medication, my wife decided to stop taking her medication last year things slowly fell apart.
I left the house to save health and did not want my son to see us argue so we decided to co-parent.

I have ...

That do not involve hallucinogens.

The TL;DR is that the FDA has approved a pill that combines the cough suppressant dextromethorphan with a little buproprion (Wellbutrin). It's the cough medicine that actually relieves the depression, and the Wellbutrin component slows the metabolizing of the dextromethophan and keeps it active.

Another video from Dr Campbell. I'm really not pushing this dude in particular, I just like the way he collects and aggregates data, then presents it in a form even I can understand.

The TL;DR here is that some startups and university studies are indicating psychedelics as a future treatment for depression and anxiety.

Some trials have combined pretty heavy drugs with therapy in a controlled psychedelic experience that is thought to make the brain ...

I follow this fellow mostly for his Covid information, but in this video he talks about depression.

The TL;DR is that depression doesn't seem to be as related to serotonin as previously thought. New information intimates that there is no difference in serotonin levels in people with or without depression. SSRIs do work for depression, but the medical community is realising they don't know why they work.

Okay, so I watched this through for the first time last night, and I had a lot of feelings about it. First of all, I admire the performance of Charlize Theron, and second of all the raw emotion of this scene. The way you can feel sympathy for both characters, the wife, AND Charlize's character. The wife shows her strength by holding back (because we both know even though she's nice to her, she hates ...

The problem with me is I know I have a problem but don't know how to express it. I am captured with so many thoughts and feelings at the same time that I really have no idea how to deal with this problem. At times I feel happy, then sad, angry, envious, irritating, high self esteem and then suddenly low self esteem. I have no one to talk to.. Or may be I have people ...

I've been taking Seroquel for sleep for a long time and it's led to significant weight gain. My insomnia has gotten worse in the past two years, so I've had to increase the dose which has led to even more weight gain. My psychiatrist is stumped.

What sleep medication do you take? I've tried just about everything but I'm curious what works for folks. I can't take hypnotics like Ambien and Lunesta and Trazodone doesn't ...

Don't know why but I just have little to no energy to even live half the time. I mean, yes I want to live, but I'm in a constant state of depression that is up and down at different times a day. I've tried watching animated movies and they do help temporarily to take my mind off things, but I'm so sad all the time and can't ever figure out why. I've tried looking through ...

I was fatter, wilder, and all over the place. I had a kid wasn't sure if I would get supported after a cheating boyfriend. It all made sense to those who learned of my ways after the fact and some in the moment. Not to make any excuse wrong doing is just that wrong doing. I blame myself because I was who I was in the moment in random act of violence I'm speaking of, ...

I haven't red these pages for quite a while now..... it's weird perhaps but just wanted to give hope to those who are suffering a lot these days, because I know now that things can change for the better.

I'm 43, with wife and 3 kids and I've hard a rollercoaster of a life until I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 in 2012. We've tried a ton of different medications, I've been to hospital a ...
