Suggest Treatment For Parathyroid Tumor And Acute Depression

I have been suffering from acute depression for more than 4 1/2 years now. I have had depression mt whole life. Possibly inherited from my mother and grandmother. In the past my psychiatrists have been able to stabilize my depression with a combination of drugs. My current psychiatrist has not been able to find any combination of drugs or dosages that have been able to solve my depression. He and I both tend to believe that my problem might very well have something to do with my endocrine system and my thyroid system. I have had hyperthyroid problems my whole life. In November 2011 my internist in Tulsa discovered that I had a parathyroid tumor. When they operated they discovered that it was 40 times larger than it should have been they removed it and it was benign. In about 2012 I had a breast mammogram and it discovered that I had abnormal cells in my left breast. I live in Oklahoma City and have currently found a doctor in endocrinology at the Integras Baptist Hospital. when he walked into my examining room his first question was "I don't know why you're here to see me, an endocrinologist, you should be seeing a psychiatrist. He evidently had not read any of his files on me. You see in Atlanta I had a great internist who thought out of the box. He sent me to a world-renowned endocrinologist who tested me for my thyroid and found that there were problems so he changed my medications and he resolved my depression. his nap I am desperate. I have gone from worse to worst over the past 4 1/2 years and I really can't take it much longer. Please help

Hi welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query .I can understand your concern

The parathyroid glands are part of the endocrine system, so these tumours are also known as endocrine tumours.
This is a rare condition that is caused by a faulty gene. It can be passed on from one generation to another
The parathyroid glands are small, but their function is very important. They maintain the correct levels of calcium in the body. Calcium plays an essential role in controlling muscle and nerve function.
A tumour of the parathyroid gland may cause overproduction of the hormone that controls the level of calcium in the body. This hormone is called parathyroid hormone (PTH) or parathormone.

As you agreed for Surgery ,It involves removing all of the parathyroid gland and part or all of the nearest half of the thyroid gland, as well as some surrounding tissue. After the operation, the calcium levels in the body can go up and down. Your doctors monitors your calcium level by taking regular blood tests.
No matter what the reason of depression is, one can manage or handle it effectively. Conversely, if ignored, depression can become devastating and unmanageable

On top of this, our lifestyle and food habits make our nerves week from both structural as well as functional point of view. The safest way of coming out of such a situation is to nourish our nervous health so that it responds constructively to otherwise difficult situation in life.
In general, successful treatment for depression involves both counselling therapy and medication.
Meditation and rest and Medication for two to three months while orally taking traditional Ayurvedic / herbal medicine - Giloy , Shilajeet , sarpgandha Bramhi ,Almonds , Ashvgandha strengthens the Nervous System and specifically the Para-Vertebral muscles of the BACK. By this, it reduces the compression on the Inter-Vertebral Disc and gives relief to all the related symptoms and resistanc from diseases for life ahead , by strengthening immunity .
I suggest you to get regular check up Act as per the advise of the specialist .
wihichever therapy you choose
Hope this helps solve your query . Take care Wish you early recovery & good health .
Don't hesitate to come back for further query .
