Suggest Treatment For Depression And Suicidal Thoughts

She has been on several different medication and In- patient hospitalization twice and counseling one a week . she does well now ,not great ,except for the first few days before her period and a few days during. she bleeds extremely heavy and is very depressed as well she sleeps all the time( 13-18 hours some days), I am thinking it is something else other than depression. any help would be great! Thanks
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Depression is known to create physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Coupled with period related physical problems, your child is bound to feel tired and always wants to sleep. Effect of current psychotropic Drugs also act in the sleeping front. Researches hve shown that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Psychotherapy to have life style changes, Yoga and meditationn to streamline thought process and metabolism can be practiced for easy and permanent cure. Contact a psychologist for further information.
If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
