Can someone explain to me what it means if a mental health professional is listed as a Masters Level Clinician? Does this mean psychiatrist, psychologist, etc?

Thanks in advance.

I have suffered from depression since I was 11. it got better for a while after I had a time in a mental health ward. Now it is getting worse again. I cry all the time, am irritable and listless, feeling suicidal at times..not that i really want to end it all just end the pain. I have 2 beautiful daughters and i really want to get help but heres the glitch...my husband WONT LET ME!!! He flat out refuses to let me get help. I am work 80 + hours a week overnight shifts at a nursing home and bring in the majority of the income but he just wont let me. Any advice is appreciated.

My parents got a divorce a few years ago, and I saw her every other weekend, it was fine for a while. But just a few months ago she was in one of her manic stages when I was @her house. I was playing a computer game and was reading a msg or something and she came running down the stairs yelling at me for letting the government send msgs about her. She told me to leave, I wouldn't.. long story short, she of course won the argument and I was sent home. I called the next day to see if we could patch things up and I tried to act like it was a regular argument, not about the government trying to assassinate her. She said she'd called me in a few days. I waited a week, but she never called, so I called her, but she never answered. Sometimes she'll pick up the phone and hang up, so @least I know she's alive. But what if she goes off the deep end 1 of these days? What would you do? She doesn't have anyone!How would you handle this? I called the neighbors, but they said they never see her.

My wife made a major mistake going to the state run mental health clinic for mild depression. To make a long story short, she ended up on daily doses as follows:150 Mg Effexor XR, 200 Mg Lamictal and 5Mg Abilify. Her therapist, a certified mental health practitioner, and I are in agreement. She didn't need these meds, and should not be on them. He mental state has gone dramatically downhill since starting the pills from mild depression to self mutiliation, which she NEVER did before taking the meds! The physician at the state run clinic has refused her repeated requests to be weaned off the pills, and the physician at the local free clinic won't have anything to do with the situation, and his office staff has prevented us from even seeing him. We cannot afford to take this to a pay as you go physician. We have been told we are on our own.

She went cold turkey yesterday. This is day 2, and she is experiencing severe nausea, nightmares, and mild agitation.
Any suggestions?

Anyone with medical knowledge please help! Back in the early 70's my Dad went to see his doctor and they put him in the local veteran's hospital and wouldn't let me or my Mom see or have any contact with him for almost 2 weeks! He had epilepsy and was prone to some pretty bad siezures but why couldn't we visit him? What were they doing to him that we were not alowed to see him? If anyone knows anything at all, I would like to hear some possible reasons! Thanks.

I feel I am at the lowest point I have ever been in my life. It takes so much effort just to get out of bed. The slightest things make me break down and cry. I feel so alone. I can’t tell my parents I have put them through enough and I don’t want my sister or my boyfriend to find out.

All I can think about is giving up, I can’t cope anymore. I m so scared. I don’t want to die, but it hurts so much I just don’t know how much longer I can pretend everything is fine.

I work in IT and some of my colleagues know more than Bill Gates or at least seem too, but they have very little social skills or are unable to take instructions or multi task! Do very intelligent people have some form of autism?

I know they work b/c I was on them as a child and I'm also on them now. But it seems odd to me that they'd work because aren't the kids that take it already hyper or having difficulty staying focused, and then the med's are stimulants, so wouldn't they make you more of those things? I know it doesn't work that way, but it just seems odd to me.

I have 2 wonderful children annd 2 grandchildren, my husband is understanding and patient, my job is low stress. I own a house and I am fairly healthy. Why do I still fall into such a deep depression even on meds. I feel so helpless, and out of control. NOTHING makes me happy all I want to do is sleep. I miss work days and that makes me look bad. But I can't seem to drag my self out of the house.

All of a sudden (this week) my boyfriend and I have been fighting. We are usually so in love and in complete harmony. But the last two nights Ive cried myself to sleep. I am on my period so that counts for some of it but i have NEVER had PMS that bad.
I feel like crying at work right now. I havent eaten since yesterday morning and right now I dont feel like eating at all. No appetite whatsoever.
what is wrong with me?
