I’m on day 2 of Zoloft for anxiety and depression and I had a bad panic attack today. I read somewhere that antidepressants make you feel worse at first then it gets better. Is that true?
Hey, I understand how you feel…

Saturday, October 31st, 2009Menopausal Depression: How To Deal With It?
Saturday, October 31st, 2009Depression therapy for menopausal and peri-menopausal women can either be very useful, or in certain cases it might turn out to be somewhat misguided. This is because of a few misconceptions that have made the rounds for many years about what actually happens during this time in a woman’s life. Menopause treatment is not at all the same thing as treatment for depression. Most mood fluctuations during this time simply relate to hormone changes, and may be managed with diet or hormone therapy, except in severe cases. This means that the drug products that work for depression, while they may bring some relief to menopausal women, might not address the real causes of depressive symptoms.
Psychiatric Issues Can Happen To Anyone
Saturday, October 31st, 2009Psychiatric diagnosis in the past has not always included a dissociative disorder, such as dissociative identity disorder (DID), depersonalization disorder, dissociative amnesia or dissociative fugue, yet this constellation of illnesses has been reconsidered in recent years. Part of the confusion surrounding these disorders is that they often manifest symptoms associated with other illnesses, such as depression, post traumatic stress syndrome, or eating disorders. Offering treatments for those problems doesn’t generally result in improvements for those with dissociative disorders because the actual underlying disorder isn’t addressed.
Understand People Who Suffers Depression
Friday, October 30th, 2009The illness known as manic depressive disorder is more a collection of similar and related illnesses, mostly characterized by swings between greatly elevated moods (the “manic” side) and severely depressed ones. Because the manifestations of the disorder can vary a lot (for example, rapid cycling between moods versus slower), it’s very challenging to find the best and most effective treatments. One of the best ways to start working on treatment is probably to find a depression treatment center and a therapist who is very knowledgeable about the illness. Teamwork between the person who is ill and his or her doctors may be a key to treating it successfully.
