My daughter suffers with severe depression ND will not take her medication when!
Question: She has 4 lovely children who are now staying with me. She has very low self esteem, and has tried to commit suicide. I am at my wits end, no ammount of talking or coucelling helps.
She seems ok when she is in hospital but as soon as she returns home she just lapses again. I want to help her but I don't know how any more. Is there anyone out there who has any answeres please.
Answers:
I am not sure that this will be of any help (i am only 13) but maybe if you knew what first caused her depression (a death? a divorce?) it could help her but trying to convince her that her children (or any one close to her) are sad because of her depression could make it worse because she will feel guilty. This is only what I think and may not be true, but I hope it helps you and your family!

ND?
she needs to understand that her medication is a necessity and important part of her getting better. Explain to her that she not only owes it to herself but to her children, to do what she can to get better. She really needs to be hearing this from someone she trusts. If she does not trust you, find someone she does.
Just make sure that she really is taking the right stuff. Some doctors will pump you with anything to keep you quite.
good luck, I know this is really hard for you.
Firstly, spirituality and prayer to ask the Almighty for mercy and speedy recovery for her.
Secondly, dedicate time to communicate positively.
Thirdly, Check her diet. you must make sure that she eats a lot of fresh veg,fruits,fresh fish rich in omega 3. Vitamin and mineral supplement.Get help from a professional dietitian.
mam I'm not exactly sure what all there for but they do give shots thats last for a while. You might want to ask about that. I take my meds, just a suggestion to try and help. But more than anything she needs a friend a true friend who listens and tries to understand I know it's breaking your heart but as personal experence it is important you stay calm. Try not to raise your voice at her.

She should see a counselor an a regular basis to talk to. It's easier to share how you feel with someone who is not a family member.
