Mental Health - March 2007

I’m looking for good patches for mental stress relief. I could find a few products by internet surfing. Kalms Tablets x 200, Theramood, Zoloft, prozac and a few others. Can you suggest the best and safe one.

I've taken paxil before, which works great, but don't like the sexual side effects

I currently take Luvox 300mgs and Klonopin 2 mgs daily for anxiety and OCD. Recently, my dad passed away, and depression set in on me==i couldnt even get out of bed. My doctor gave me samples of Provigil. It really helped me but my insurance will not cover it at all. My doc even talked to them but it didnt make a difference. Does anyone know of any alternatives i can try===how about Adderall XR?

I am very worried that I have schizophrenia, or will probably have it in the future because my biological mother has serious mental disorders like manic depressive paranoid schizophrenia. She has had many breakdowns and has been hospitalized quite a few times in her life and had another episode/breakdown today. My mom is actually still being hospitalized at the moment and was even restrained, which breaks my heart. I looked up information on schizophrenia but it's still confusing to know if I have it. I'm almost positive I suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and asked the counselor I see but no one ever really takes the time to do a proper evaluation or assesment and say that I don't have it right off the bat. How the hell are they so sure when they don't even take five minutes to find out? I think they say I don't have either of those disorders because I don't say much to them and they don't see what's really going on inside. I don't know what to do anymore. Please help

Why do I keep reading articals about people thinking the phycologists and phyciatrists are a joke? Basically its like they don't believe there can be problems with the human brain. Thats like saying " Welp, her blood sugar has been running 400, but I dont think she has diabetes" Or, "No, you didn't have a heart attack, it was just a muscle spazm of the heart". Or eve, " Hannable Lecter wasn't a mass murderer, he was just really hungry, and had a peculular taste for flesh. People talking about getting rid of the American Phyciatry Asso. and being raped by the phycology racket. Well you weren't seeing the right person and for that matter what were you going there for? Obviously because you were in such good mental health, right? This question isn't for everyone, obviously. All I can say is, I and my son suffer from issues, and if it wasn't for the mental health "racket" as some would say, we wouldn't be here today. So I am sorry to all I have offended, But those comments offended me too

What can I do for this? I am 23 years old and I seemed to have developed this over the past 2 years and it has slowly gotten worse {could it be I had a baby, moved, and lost my nana, who i was VERY close to all within months of each other 2 years ago??}...

For the past week, yes all seven nights, I have had different dreams all about killing myself. This haunts me because a year ago I was suicidal. I know that may be a source but I don’t think it would cause a week’s worth of nightmares a year later. I have tried praying, reading my bible, sleeping in a new location, different thoughts before going to bed, different times to go to bed and at different times of day, but nothing has stopped it. Anyone have any insight or any other ideas?

i'm mad that i have not been givin the lable ADHD and put on ritalin i will be going though testing next month for a lot of diffent mental disorders but i think the only reason my problems were not seen earlyer was because i was mostly home-schooled since 3rd grade but i did have a little bit of trouble in pre-k-2 mosley 2 but then i was pulled out of school so i don't know what to do because i think it takes to long to be labled with any mental disorder.

if u can please tell my how long it takes to be labled as ADHD and to start taking meds. please do.

thanks

I feel like a fool now...but earlier I had a emotional outburst filled with tears at school today because of the emotional burden that my husband being deployed has taken over me. I sat there and told complete strangers all my problems. Now i feel like an idiot. Do they think i am weak now or a fool? How can i control myself from having another outburst? What should i do next time when i feel like i am going to cry?

I know im close to having it, but im not sure if i actually have S.A.D.

I can count like 6 freinds off the top of my head that i talk to to regularly, though i never go out with any of them because i get too nervous. I get anxiety whenever i go out somewhere i dont normally go to.

Im a junior in high school right now, and allthough im into the same things alot of other people my age are, i cant seem to be myself at home. I dont have any anxiety at all when i am at home, yet it seems that my fear of change is worse at home than anywhere else. I'm too scared to talk to my parents, and let them know about things i want to do, go, or get. Not a bad family, love them, hardly ever even argue

I do get depressed, but im more often happy then depressed. ALthough not a day goes by without me hating myself for not being who i truly want to be. Never had an anxiety attack.

Ive tried self-help things, but my motivation is just not there
wish i could write more, not enough...

I'm not depressed, I'm not interested in taking medication, there's got to be a way to overcome this feeling.

So, lately I have been really crabby and I don't have a reasoning why. I have been getting irritated by literally EVERYONE to the point that I just want to be alone in isolation! Like, get me a padded cell or something! I don't have my period, and i'm not even close to getting my period, so it's not PMS. I have not been able to get more than 5 hours of sleep for the past 3 days. I have no had any motivation to do anything and i just feel crappy!!! what the hell is going on??? Get me some prozac or something! Also, I have not been giving two hoots about my schooling, like I care, but I don't want to do anything about it!

I've started turning depressed in 2005, before it ended I was very suicidal too but my past, which seemed to both haunt me and hold me, stopped me, because I just couldn't do it, I have too many dreams I still have to follow... well, I think logically if I died back then it would have been better than to live the year after, 2006, which filled me with MANY more problems AND made me numb to them, so I just couldn't do anything but keep on suffering, because I tried seeking the help of a 'professional', but as I find out now that word just doesn't match with 'help'...
Today problems seem much more clear albeit hopeless, I found out that my depression stems from a life of being beaten up by my father and mutilated verbally by my mother, and it seems police won't even do anything but lock me up in this house with them being subject to more of such insanity.
So, I'm thinking of death all the time, I have an 11 year old sister too, I want to save us both or we got no future, what can I do?

I just cant seem to stop. I get stuck on buying certain things (right now shirts). It makes me happy at first and i get this 'rush'. But the more i buy because i cant stop, the more unhappy it makes me. And its not 'fun' anymore but i cant stop. My husband wanted me to get a job to 'make me happy' so maybe i would stop, but i now owe him $500.00 from shopping. I would be like well i have a job now so i can pay him back, but like always it gets out of control. I am tierd of lying, and even shopping, and messing up our money, and of being tierd. Someone please help me. I feel like i am going crazy all the time.

I'm applying to a Masters program for Occupational Therapy. One of the questions on the application says, "Describe the ways you will contribute to Diversity (according to the school's Diversity Statement). Some of the things mentioned in the statement include overcoming personal, family and/or economic disadvantage. OK, I CAN RELATE TO THIS.

I also have bipolar disorder that totally messed up my life at one time, and I am medication dependant. BUT I am responsible and have been balanced and successful for the past 10 years up until recently, when I was laid off from my job.

I think all this Diversity cr*p is BS, and I hate to have to answer this question at all, but if I have to answer it, I figure I might as well lay the whole load on them.

My question is: Should I disclose the bipolar? It really set me back quite a bit years ago, I overcame it, and I want to help others get their life back on track, so that's why I want to go into this field.

What do you guys think?
