I am severely depressed and have been for months. I live in Tennessee where there is absolutely no help available for the uninsured. Tennessee used to have a free heath plan available to those who otherwise could not afford help. I am practically bed ridden at this time from not having the energy or will to even move. I've never been this depressed and don't know what to do. No one in my family (whom I'm staying with) has the money to help me. I am presently unemployed and have no money at all. My back and neck hurt so much now from laying in bed all day and night that it's hard for me to get around. Where can I turn now? Can anyone help me out here with what to do under these circumstances? I feel broken and forgotten.

My little cousin obsesses over things, its a new thing every month or two, he gets his mind set on something and doesn't want to do or have anything to do with anything else, like now it's Space - the only thing he does is sit on the computer and watch space stuff...it was fireworks where he was on firework superstores website and watch fireworks, before that it was drag racing - he only watched drag videos - he wanted a junior dragster, you get the idea - is this a mental disorder, OCD, or what?

I am Having axiety problems. And I don't want to take too "happy pill" kind of stuff. as matter of fact I don't want anti-depressive, because I can't take them, and at the same time I don't want to get too addicted with antianxiwty stuff. Wikipedia:" the most addictive of the benzodiazepines are clonazepam, bromazepam, alprazolam, and particularily, temazepam, nitrazepam, and nimetazepam" But also the most affective. Anybody knows more about alprazolam and clonazepam? Which one gives more euphoria?I have enough of that, I don't need a pill that gives me more and make me addicted.

I am also bi-polar and have done the anti-depresant thing and gained lots of weight. I'm finally back to my normal weight and have energy again because my doc put me on a mood-stabilizer that works.

I'm afraid if I take the Amitriptyline, I will gain all the weight back. I'm not in pain all the time but when it hits, it is excruciating and can go on for hours to days.

Just so you know - I'm 47, female, I exercise regularly, eat healthy, don't smoke or drink, meditate and do bio-feedback.

The IBS is something I have had all my life and it only shows up during times of high emotional stress and then lasts for a couple of months. So I don't want to take something all the time for a problem that comes and goes.

I would appreciate any insight.

Thanks

Psychiatry and physiology doesn’t work for me. I’ve taken Celexa and Paxil and It just made me cold, dizzy, sweaty, it gave me Migraines, and I gained around 60 lbs rapidly. I’ve taken the B-12 shot and I’ve had some more bad side effects with that also. Has anyone that has been diagnosed with depression actually overcome it??? If so tell me how you control my depression???

So far I've been on Zoloft and Lexapro and am about to start on Effexor. I know each medicine works for different people, but which works best for you and how many did you have to try to find the best one? I know the one that works for you may not work for me but I would just like to know your experiences with them. Thanks!

I have panic disorder and have tried 2 medications so far but nothing seems to be working and my family is fed up with me. I don't know why one minute I feel happy and then out of no where I feel sick and can't stop crying. People think that I am doing this to make them mad or get attention, but I'm really not. I don't know why it's happening. Any advice?

My Mother, who is mentally ill, is very very sick. My Dad left her for another woman (just happened to be one of her friends) three years ago and she has really gone off of the deep end. Since then, she's been in and out of institutions, hospitals, on various medications, group homes, and has recently undergone over 20 electroconvulsive therapy treatments. Nothing is working! She's in agony each and every day and has extreme obsessions and compulsions about cleanliness and feels that she "can't do anything right." Our telephone conversations are all about reassurance and her continual hand washings (washes up to 50x per day) and that's it....she just can't focus on anything else. She, too, has put the family through a lot as she's always talking about death, dying, how she "can't" anymore, etc. Is it wrong for me to wish for an angel to come down and get her while she sleeps....and just send her home. It's what she wants. She wants to be with her parents up in heaven.

i am 40 years old, and i draw disability for being bi-polar. i hate being on it and i am currently in school to hopefully find a job and get off of social security. after three failed suicide attempts and years of off and on counseling i have decided that i no longer need the shame of being disabled this way. my question is has anyone ever heard of a disabled bi-polar returning to work after years of drawing disability?

I am on zoloft but it's so expensive. I was wondering if Paxil was similar... and since it's on wal-mart's price list for 3 dollars, I wondered if anyone has done this switch.
