Question: I am at wits end with my fight with depression, HELP!!.?
I have had an anxiety/depressive disorder all my life. I have been on Zoloft, Prozac. I was just put on Wellbutrin SR 100mg. 4 days ago. It's making me very anxious. I feel like I am never going to get out of this depression. Does anyone have advice that can help me, please. Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I was at my wit's end too (for many years) until I read a book called, "You Can Be Happy No Matter What" by Richard Carlson. Silly title but it's a good book. It's based on CBT (Cognitive Therapy) - the most effective therapy for depression (it's as a good as Prozac and in some cases better). The good thing about CBT is that once you learn the skills, you are training yourself not to be depressed (unlike a pill which you have to take every day). You don't have to be depressed. When a person gets into clinical depression, the brain gets caught in a loop (a mental rut) and its very difficult to get out. You have to recognize that it's not what happens to you that makes you depressed but the thoughts that you are thinking to yourself. Look up information on Cognitive Therapy and Dr. Aaron Beck. also read a book called "Learned Optimism" by Dr. Martin Seligman. You will find that you can be much happier than you ever imagined! I'm living proof! Read these books, it will change your life.Health Question & Answer

Have you tried talking to someone about your depression.? A professional but not some doctor who wants to just swarm you with pills that do more bad than good. I don't believe in anti depressant i feel like there is something deeper than pills can clear up. So that's my advice. Talk to someone who cares.
