This year was my sons first year of kindergarten. He came back from school sad not wanting to go back because all the other kids made fun of his bald head (he survived from cancer, his hair hadn’t grown back yet). After several months hes been in a state of depression and anger (kicking our dog at times and squishing ants). I took him to the doctor to get checked out and the doctor said he was diagnosed with Anti Social Personality Disorder a sickness psychopaths and Serial killers get at a young age (it cannot be cured). The doctor suggested I take him to a institution but me and my son are very close and he doesn’t want to leave me nor do I want to leave him. Any suggestions on what to do?

Was really over weight at 17 and discovered I have high blood pressure. Also to add to the problems I have pretty bad anxiety about my heart. The blood pressure is under control and I am going through the steps to find out why I have hypertension at a young age. I have panic attacks when my heart starts beating fast like if I went for a jog. My general physician gave me lorazepam. My first time taking it it freaked me out and then calmed me down. Since then I have taken it only a few times at about .125mg afraid of becoming addicted. So I read up on anti depressants and went and got lexapro from my doctor. But before taking it I read some horror stories about coming off them and decided not to take it. At least until I can talk to a psycologist about them first. Then I read about buspirone a drug with no withdrawels. So my question is how affective is this drug over an anti depressant? What are your experiances with it? Really just need some help with my heart when I exercise so that when it beats faster I don’t freak out about it.
I am now 18 and two months. I know about the risks for suicide with teenagers and anti depressants. Thanks for any info
Also have had bad attacks at the doctors office and getting my blood pressure taken. So hopefully this will help with the doctor as well. Will see a psycologist first thing next month to discuss this further and get treatment. I have been going to a counselor but be is not able to discuss medications for anxiety so another reason to go see a psycologist.
Used to weigh 278 and now after the weight loss I’m down to 200.

I realize that I use to be 20 years old and that a lot of my depression is real life. But, now everything gets to me. I worry over everything. My husband had a heart attack and now I am scared to death of losing him. I mean it was two years ago. My brother has recently died. He was a great guy. That is the second brother that has died. Our baby brother died or was killed on a motorcycle in 1975. My Mother , my best friend, died in 1981. That is one death that I have never gotten over. I never will. She was really something. There was 8 of us. She kept all of us together through every thing, and then we lose her at the age of 54. That is my age now. My Mom helped me through everything. She never seemed depressed. I seem to be depressed all of the time. I thought that anti depressants were suppose to make you or help you to be happy. I heard that they would make you more out going, happy, laughing a lot. You know, things like that. You know how a certain pain pill can make you have a better out look on life. What is in those things that make you feel so much better. I know that it seems like I have one question after another, but I really want to know what anti depressant to take to get me to do my housework again. To get back to my big time sewing again. I really love to sew. I use to make all of my clothes and now I have grand daughters, and I want to sew for them, and to sew for my home. For my husband. I have always wanted to sew to make money. What are the best anti depressants. Please pray with me,( I know that is the first anti depressant is prayer, and then the second one is to rebuke Satan.) and pray for me and for my sweet husband. Pray that I will be able to turn my sewing talent that God gave me into a home business.
Thank You, and please give me the answer to an anti-depressant that will really help. Give me the giggles again, and the a go go go on my sewing.
Thank You again.

I am young female, aged 20 years old. I have been on Cymbalta, a type of anti-depressant/anti-anxiety med for almost two years now. It really helped take to edge off my depression and anxiety (generalized OCD), but I still am a very unhappy person. I have an incredibly hard time falling asleep and waking up in the morning. I feel like every day is a struggle to fight past my own negativity. I’m always exhausted and stressed out. I grind my teeth horribly at night, to the point of physical pain and lockjaw the next day. I always have a headache and shoulder pain from stress. I feel useless, worthless, and desperate. I no longer have any desire to kill or hurt myself, but I just can’t handle this misery anymore.

I would really appreciate suggestions from anyone who has also battled depression. Is it my meds? Or are there changes in my life you can suggest I make?

The #1 over the counter drug in US are anti dep. Relationships, or the lack of loving relationship are the leading causes of depression. The feeling of not being in that place you thought you would be by the age you thought you would be that. . .anyway, could you be secretly depressed?

A very good friend is taking anti depressants…

I’ve noticed some pretty big changes in her moods and general emotional state….

What are the effects of anti-depressants..?

* Makes you a bit impatient ?

* More blunt in the way you speak to people ?

* Generally a bit zombified ?

* Sleep more than usual ?

Sometimes she can be a bit hurtful (towards me) which I never had any problem with before…

I went to visit her at her house a while ago, and we didn’t talk much, she just lay down on the couch, she put on a DVD – even though we hadn’t caught up in ages…. She just zoned out and said hardly a word….

I suppose I’m wondering whether I should be making her aware of her behaviour or not…

Any information or suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance.
