Suggest Methods To Handle Depression In Elderly.

I feel like crying a lot, when I wake up in the morning the first thing I feel like is just starting to cry. I try to distract myself, I feel I have no friends and family, I have seen a doctor but I feel antidepressents aren't working. I am feeling angry at everyone too. I see a councellor but I feel that she doesn't understand me. I have felt lonely my whole life. I was adopted at birth and I feel I have never had a family that accepted me as their own. My whole childhood I cried myself to sleep every night. I am nearly 50 yrs old, I have been crying my whole life over something or other, but for the last year I cry at all most anything.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, medicines will play their role play partially. You need someone with whom you can share your feeling. I think, you should join a group of old people nearby your home. Try to spend time with them and that would help you to overcome the depressive symptoms. You can carry on with medication that you are on.

Thanks
