Suggest Treatment For Chronic Clinical Depression
I suffer from chronic clinical,depression. I,am also,disabled. I have nearly lost all my family and friends because they think I m just feeling sorry for myself and I m negative. Sometimes I think about suicide. Was just reading your list for increased risk and I meet several of,the criteria. I go,to,therapy,every week. I m in an antidepressant. Bit I m basically indigent and work part time as much as social security will let me. Life is just one sad, lonely day after another.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In your case, i would suggest the combination of drugs like venlafaxine with mirtazapine. You can also try cognitive behavioral therapy for pessimistic thoughts and life style modification for improvement. You have to keep patience as improvement would not come easily. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
