What Is The Treatment For Depression?

My 22 year old has frequent anger outbursts, he hurts himself by hitting himself and is very mean to other people during these outburst. he is seeing a psycharitirst and was diagnosed with depression, but i think its more than that. He is on effexor and kolodopine. Any little small out of routine issue will send him into an anger outburst. He is down on himself and doesnt like himself or anybody else. He lost his dad in March but these were beginning before that, just more frequent now. I am lost at what to do for him...I dont have anyone to help me.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you should work with your psychiatrist for his proper care and treatment. Anger and outrage can be brought down with medicines for the time being.

Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
