      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      This episode has lasted about 9 months - took differnet medications but now the Wellbutrin/Lexapro is working - but I want to know if it's going to work ALL the way. I have anxiety and depression. I guess that's hard to treat

    • Open Alcoholism

      Have had this eposide of anxiety/depression going on two years. Alcohol made it worse, but I think my depression this time turned me into a full blown alcoholic because before this I drank but not out of control like it is now. Usually a very happy, friendly, good mother and wife but am struggling in all areas right now.

      I am suffering from anxiety and depression. I used to be able to drink 2-3 glasses of wine per night....with this episode that has lasted one year now - I want to drink all the time.
