Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have a 21 year old daughter who recently graduated from college. She took adderall thru college and continues to still take it at times. i honestly believe her personality started changing initially, moody. More agitated and rude. Now, I think she is not responsible as before, her happiness has changed and I am worried about her. Suggestions? thank you
Seasonal Affective Disorder can be treated with the usual anti-depressants that are used for other depressive disorders. Where the usual anti-depressants don't work, thyroid hormones are also known to help.
Photo-therapy (light therapy) is also known to be effective, especially with winter onset depression. Psychotherapy can help improve the depression in the long run. A combination of these methods is usually employed, based on a person's symptoms. The treatment is usually customized for the individual needs.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
