Answer 1

I would definitely recommend that you seek out counseling to help you. Medications may be indicated as well, but you have been through a lot and talking with someone about your difficulties will be very helpful. There is hope!

Answer 2

I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 in 1996. I was on a shoebox full of pills. There was something to control the bipolar, something for sleep disturbances, and so on. In the end, I figured that the pills were to regulate my behavior, and I thought I could do that on my own, so I stopped taking the medications cold turkey. I was right, so far as controlling my behavior. I've been off the meds for 7 years now. Of course, what I did is not safe, and should not be done by anyone. Nevertheless, the symptoms did not go away. I just started learned to deal with them. I still have periods of severe depression. I still have very severe sleep disturbances. But the way that I deal with it is a bit different now. First and foremost, I don't trust my mind and feelings. This appears a little morbid on the surface, but it's very rational and sound. If my emotions are the problem, and there are attendant thoughts that feed the problem emotions, then I absolutely should not rely on them. So I question them, and I challenge them. Especially the thoughts. This way, I go through the depression, or the mania, but I'm not overcome by it because I've developed this sort of presence of mind or awareness of what's going on. If it's more difficult to deal with, I tell myself about the good things that have happened to balance out the depression, or I remind myself of some things that have not gone according to plan to help bring down a mania. Yes, these things can be done, but they are very labor intensive and time consuming. My advice is not to cut the antidepressants without medical supervision. CBT (which is the formal name for what I do on my own) is very beneficial in the treatment of depression. I recommend it, but only under professional supervision. ADD--Now that you've specified that the depression is situational, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) would work best in the long run. The reason that I would advise against cutting meds cold turkey is that some of them can have adverse effects if they are stopped suddenly. For example, depakote has been known to cause seizures if it is stopped suddenly. A lot of them require weaning.

Poor baby. I am so sorry you had to go through that.... While I am not a doctor, you may want to look up information on drigs such as Effexor or Lexapro. These have been very helpful to a few family members of mine who have dealt with traumtic events.

I understand that you may wish for a pill to fix it, I can tell you many medications can be helpful. But PLEASE remember that you are probably a handsome young man who also may benifit from talking with someone too. Like a professional. Over time, you will feel more confident about yourself and medication can certainly help you with the daily anxiety you are facing right now.

Also, if you have anxiety problems, please talk to your Doctor about trying an anti anxiety drug like Xanax, Also know under Lorazepam, Diazepam, Alprazolam.......

These drugs do not cure depression, but DO wonders with ANXIETY. My Mother is very sick with cancer and has been for years. I am her caregiver and I have even benifited from the use of Lorazepam for times when I am too anxious to face people daily.

Good luck to you.

Answer 4

First, get a good neurologist to check out all the brain functions, then you could move onto Hormone therapy. Antidepressant drugs carry many different and sometimes ill conceived side effects, so find a good neurologist first -- he/she should be able to check out all of the imbalances... Find someone else who deals with depression and get better! You are young and should not be having the memory problems. An MRI or CT Scan should be able to see if there is something going on with pituitary systems too. Best wishes!

Answer 5

Well first of all, many people think that drugs are the answer to your problems, and in your case that may be. But I think you should seek counseling before you turn to drugs. Antidepressants can be good for many people, but you should try alternate methods first. If you do decide that an antidepressant is the only thing that can help, then start with one such as Lexapro. Great drugs without the side effects of many of the other antidepressants out there. Good luck, maybe just someone to talk to is all you need.

Answer 6

Number one,

You can take these medications people are telling you about to a doctor and ask them about these drugs. You need to talk to the doctor though. I know where i work at they do not like some of those drugs that were listed here. Its is up to your doctor to tell you what is best for you. Dont go by what people are listing on here. Ask your doctor, then research the drug that the doctor perscibes, and make sure it will work for you

Answer 7

Male breast development is a real condition called "gynecomastia". You should talk to your doctor about treatment, and if he doesn't know, try other doctors who know more about it. There are drugs for treating gynecomastia. Your doctor won't think you're strange. Many men have gynecomastia.

You should also tell your doctor about your other problems. Tell your doctor that you feel isolated, insecure, can't concentrate, and can't make friends with anyone. This is important information for helping your depression.

By now, fixing your breasts might not cure your depression. You need counseling. Drugs help, but you need psychological counseling because it helps you think happily.

Some antidepressant drugs are Wellbutrin, Zoloft, and Prozac.

If you're in a foreign country, you should find people who speak your native language.

Don't worry about people finding out about your breasts! If they see them, just tell them, "I have gynecomastia. It's a medical condition where men grow breasts." Make some jokes about your breasts. I promise that people won't think you're strange. They'll be surprised by your breasts, but when they see you are confident, they will make friends with YOU and forget about your breasts!

Trust me, if I saw a man with breasts, I would think it was odd, but I would still talk to him like he was a normal person, and I would think of him as a normal person. I would remember him as, "Steve, has breasts, short brown hair, likes football, plays cards, speaks two languages, is afraid of dogs, and liked my joke about the dead babies."

Answer 8

You need to see a doctor and tell him about your
problems. People on the internet cannot tell you
what medications to take. Only a doctor can after
you talk about what is bothering you and why. Talking
to a doctor will make you feel better than drugs will.

Answer 9

What you need is a doctor who can prescribe such drugs. You can't pick and choose what you want off of a question and answer forum. Only a doctor can figure out for you and prescribe what you need.

Answer 10

Join a therapy group and talk to a therapist.. It can be a huge relief to find someone that can be trusted..
