How Can Severe Depression And Suicidal Tendencies After Emotional And Sexual Abuse Be Treated?

I m going through depression. Since childhood I have been bullied, sexually abused and lonely. I have had suicidal tendencies. I thought my life changed when I got engaged to the man of my dreams. But my depression made me ruin that too. Now I m married but my husband is not happy with me. I want this relationship to work. I will not be able to face another failure.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Depressive disorder or depression is a neurochemical disorder. Suicidal tendency is one main symptom of depression. You must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. These mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines and other means like awareness, meditation, Psychotherapy techniques, life style changes etc.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
