What Medication Is Suggested For Depression ?
My yoga student takes following medicines for the past one year and four months daily:
nexito 20mg,duhap,zapiz,lamez all prescribed by her psychiatrist doctor.
Her depression has not reduced . He advised her to take up yoga and meditation to hasten the cure.She is 43 year old ,married,having a grown-up son.
and husband who does see her problems as she wants him to see them.
Yoga for two weeks increased her energy level. She suffered two episodes of violent attack of depression recently with thoughts of ending her life.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Suicidal ideas are part of depression and in that case, antidepressant with mood stabilizer would help her. She may be case of bipolar depression and in that case, she needs continuous treatment. If she is not getting any benefit from drugs, that means, she needs some different antidepressant or drugs. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
