I know someone who has a very bad chemical imbalance. So his depression is really bad. There are times when he is soo happy, so outgoing and so friendly. Then the next, he wants to kill himself. He has suffered with this for about 30 years. And he has tried everything that he can think of. He has seen dozens of therapists, he's tried dozens of medications, and he has gone to the extent of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). And none of these things has worked.

I should mention that he does not drink, smoke, do drugs, he is very religious. He gets outside in the sunlight...its part of his job as a farmer. So its not his lifestyle (I have posted this question on here before and thats what a lot of people said he had to change, but there is nothing to change)

My question to you is:
Is there anything else that you can think of? He's at the end of his rope and is willing to try ANYTHING...travel ANYWHERE!

Any suggestions?

From my young age(may be from 3 years old)..i have this strange problem...(For me it is not a problem..) that is I created some characters and make some story among them...i spend some time for these stories especiallly before going to sleep...(I m good in studies) I mostly want to be alone...In my real world, i m a very sincere & loving person...but i never have good friends...(It may be because i ilve with my characters...It ia almost 20 years i started doing this.....
(Here stories means i ll create some relationship among them
like family members or friends...)

I love mom,dad,bro...They love me too..There is no problem in my family..and living happy only...

But i never wanted to develop relationship with others..(mainly friendship)...I love my characters only and want to live with my characters only......

Is this any kind of mental ill???Give some logical reason ..plz answer me...

I'm on a diet that consists of only a small low calorie dinner(most of the time) with mostly water. I guess I am lacking a lot nutrients that I need. How long before I start to threaten my own body. Its been almost a month and 18 pounds lost. One day I only ate an apple.

Never fails, between 1 and 3 pm I want to take a nap. Since I am at work this is not feasible... and there is no where I can go to nap :( - it doesn't seem to matter if I eat luch, breakfast, or go for a walk... the results are always the same... tired.

Other than downing a couple cups of coffee or shots of espresso, is there any way to combat this?

I understand that this product is made for children but I am 37 and I wanted to see how bad my brusing habits were. I must brush my teeth better than I suspected because I couldn't see any blue on my teeth. I recall in the 70's when I was in grade school, the teachers would have a session devoted to teeth care. They would bring out those red tablets. All the kids chewing away and proudly show off the red stains. Until the teacher would inform us that this was bad to see all the red. It wasn't fun after he comment knowing we had "yuck mouth" Do you recall doing that in school? My friends told me they don't educate children like that any more.
Must be up to the parent. Have a good day.

I believe I recently had a miscarriage. I had an abortion about 2 years ago. My doctors office no longer exists and I have not had a pap in about 2 years or more. I don't know the dates that they take those type of appointments. I really think that I should see a doctor, but I'm not in school and actually I am currently unemployed. Please give advice ASAP!

Planning a wedding....I am under a great deal of stress and find that I can't handle anything right now. In full blown menopause (47)...night sweats...no period for over a year....I think the added stress is making my menopause worse. My patience is totally shot. I am crying when I should be happy. I can't take any meds...i.e. antidepressants...tried but they made me crazier....

I am 33 years old and I have blackheads on my nose and cheeks more than I did when I was a teenager. I have tried all of the products with the benzoyl 1% stuff. I have tried the nose strips by Biore'. Is there anything else left to try? They are so unattractive and I feel like they can be seen across the room. Please help.
