Suggest Treatment For Depression
I'm 21, I've been depressed for 7 years after my grandma died. I could never concentrate at school and dropped out. I have problems sleeping. I pace all night I'm always nervous, I have no friends, I'm afraid to go out and interact with people. I cut myself, I get mad for no reason, I cry a lot, I'm depressed all the time. I was born with spial menjitus, and my father was depressed and commited suicide when I was 5.

Hi dear.
I had gone through your query.
You have depression with positive family history.
It seems it is more biological or genetic predominant.
Biological therapy like medicines and ECT will be useful.
If you are not improving then ECT is good choice specially in resistant depression and suicidal thoughts.
Consult psychiatrist and get help.
Wish you a very good health.
Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Take care.
