Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

Because, it would seem I have suffered with depression for most of my life. Although I work and can be very happy I become very depressed quite often . I have expereienced most therapies but find after joining a support group ( university experiment ) which ended,I think I benefit from both receiving and giving support and I suppose being aware that there are others suffering also.

Treatments

Celexa Not Working

Nothing much

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Not Working

Wasteful of NHS resourses. The Dummies book for CBT is very good - really.

Effexor Not Working

Elavil Not Working

It knocks me out for the whole of the next day.

Lexapro Not Working

Meditation Somewhat Helpful

Paxil Somewhat Helpful

I have been using this for approx' six months - it may be helping.

Positive Thinking Not Working

It will work but only when not depressed !

Prozac Not Working

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

Good but almost like a food and I didnt want to become dependant.
