What is the solution for sleeplessness & depression?

Question

I am suffering from sleeplessness and depression. My symptoms.. I toss in bed a lot struggling to get sleep. Even in sleep, people beside me say i scream and yell a lot. I get unpleasant dreams a lot... they include Snakes, departing my friends, losing someone whom I like the most, deaths of my grandparents,... a lot more horrible stuff. I am suffering from this from 4 years. I even feel depressed a lot for no reason. I cry even for a small sentiment or anger. I am desperate for a solution. My age is 21, completed my engg. I am good at my academics and soon I am going to join india's largest software company. No doctor is taking this seriously because of my age. I am in desperate need for a solution. Please offer me a really good solution. I hope you understand, and if you are a doctor would you mind to contact me? If no, please feel free to write me a mail. I need a good treatment from an efficient doctor. I ensure i wont use your services for free (if anyone contacts me).

Answer 1

Sleeplessness and depression are so very much related. Stress does not show effects only during your "awake time" it also wreakes and tears at your soul, your pure essence. If I have a terribly stressful time, sleep is hardly part of the picture. I also experience the nightmares, screaming out for help, the feeling of such fear. It is as you are awake but you are asleep,as though you are witnessing scenes from a movie. Depression does not discriminate. You may suffer the disorder at the age of 21.Children as well as senior adults suffer from one or more mental disorder. Various types, severe or mild cases. There is no overnight solutions. At this time after reading your symptoms, it would seem that you may very strongly consider another doctor.There usually is a registry offerred by hopitals with the names of specialists and the location, numbers,and creditials.It may well be a good idea to establish a relationship with a good specialist, one that will be able to begin a plan of action.Medications, types of therapy and if you should require addtional medical help. Has your doctor ordered any lab tests, MRI, or even a physical examination.A low thyroid activity may be a problem for persons that suffer from depression.If your doctor is not taking you seriously because of your age, is this your primary care physician or your psyciatrist? You have given yourself an answer already. I would highly suggest that you seek the specialist that will help you and definitely knows what he/she is doing and get you on the right track. It is not a good idea to work with your specialist by mail or over the telephone, which is illegal now if I remember correctly. A therapist would be able to listen and give suggestions, listening to you is very important. A therapist would be able to understand for instance, your facial expression, the tone of your voice, if you should become agitated, or sad and crying. Please seek and receive the proper care. Much success with your job. Take good care of yourself.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

You need to find a new doctor. There's a lot going on in your life right now that could be causing excessive stress. Stress can lead to depression symptoms. You don't mention if you ever get out and have fun or exercise. A good doctor will ask you lots of questions and do a depression checklist with you. Good luck.

If your doctor doesn't believe you then you need to find a different doctor and report the old one to the AMA. Find yourself a new doctor then take the Depression Quiz from the web site at www.psychcentral.com. Take the quiz, print it out and take it with you to your next doctor's visit.
