Suggest Treatment For Depression

Hello

I have thought that I am depressed, but am headstrong and now know that I am a failure, the signs and symptoms below match me perfectly and I cannot care for my children well enough, I shout every day, most of the day, I am usually a planned and organised person, but now cannot cope. I read about Cipralex, Cipramil and Zoloft, but honestly they all concern me with their side effects, I am totally weight concious and cannot have any added stress with that or hearaches, less sleep, dizzyness etc - I thought of Biral, with this being Natural, what are your thoughts?

Thanks

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You may be right. The given symptoms do match depression. Especially suicidal ideation is a strong indicator towards depressive disorder. But you need a proper diagnosis regarding the depth of the depression. For that you should consult a psychologist / psychiatrist.

You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
