Hi, new to this group. Been depressed for a while but last week was finally diagnosed with depression. The main reason is my beautiful husband, who is wasting away in a nursing home, with the effects of end stage Alzheimer's, and cannot walk or talk. I get some support from my family though they don't quite know what its like. My father, in Australia, has also got early onset Alzheimer's but still lives at home with the support of visiting carers. He is still with it but repeats things and forgets things. Does anyone feel like they don't want to get up in the morning and simply not enjoy life as much as before? I am on Citalopram, 10mg just once a day, but don't know any benefits as its only been a week. They do make me talk a lot more than usual and quite fast too! Well that's me, I will gladly give people hugs - and receive them, of course! Take care.
