depression?

Question

I have depression and i'm on cymbalta and zolft, and they help but i always still feel depressed. I need some help any one have depression if you can help me? {manic depression}

Answer 1

If you're medicated and still depressed, consider your outlook. Get out and do things for other people, so you're not so overwhelmed with your own negative state. I know it's sounds corny and trite, but there really is something to it.

Answer 2

I have definitely dealt with the same circumstances. Make sure you have open and honest communication with your psychiatrist(not family dr.) If you feel he is not listening to you then find another one. If the medicine is working correctly you will not still have these feelings. If the dr. just keeps adding more medicines, go to another dr. There is 4 different categories of anti-depressants so find a dr. that is willing to try others. When you find the right one, you will know it and these feelings will be gone. Good luck and don't give up till you find it. P.S. I had to try every medicine in all 3 categories until I tried aMAOI in the 4th category and it worked miracles. Now that is the only medicine I take instead of 4 different medicines another dr. had me on that wasn't doing the job.

Answer 3

Medication can only go so far in the healing of the human mind. You need to talk to a professional also. You are probably still depressed because you are lacking the social comunication. Humans must comunicate with one another. Because if not your illness will not be steady or get better but though worsen and open new doors to madness and insanity.

Answer 4

Have you had any counselling? Meds alone won't do everything you need to face yourself and some of the issues that lead to your bouts of depression. A real helpful book is "The feeling good handbook." by Dr. Burns. Try it and look for a good counsellor you can trust and open up too. Good Luck and keep on fighting

Answer 5

Have you tried going to therapy or a support group? I'm not big into therapy, hate it in fact, but group therapies really work well for me. They allow me to see that I am not alone and they give me a chance to talk with others who have been in similar situations as I have.

Getting out and finding something to do also helps. I gives you the chance to get away from all of your emotional stuff and focus on the outside world for a while. To me, its kind of like I'm given the chance to just switch off my emotions and just do something without all the hurt and pain for a little while.

Answer 6

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
