Suggest Treatment For Depression.

Hi. I feel very anxious talking about this. I can t tell this to anyone. I have suffered from depression since I was in elementary school. I am 32 years old right now, married, and have 3 children, 2 stepchildren. I found out I was pregnant two months ago. I am having suicidal thoughts... but I don t want to hurt my family, or the baby. I keep having thoughts to kill myself after the baby is born.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In that situation, i would suggest antidepressant like fluoxetine or escitalopram to you. These drugs are safer in depression and you can take them without any harm to your baby. Consult a psychiatrist and start antidepressant from basic minimum dose.

Thanks
