First time here

I was diagnosed with dysthymia about 7 years ago. I have been taking 10mg Escitalopram until about 7 months ago.

Since early last December, I started a downward move mentally. For the first time ever, I'm feeling like everyone and myself are better off happinesswise and financially if I were not around.

Not A good feeling. I'm not doing well. I've decided to join ADAA after hearing an interview on a podcast, The Art of Manliness, with a Mr. Stossel about anxiety and depression.

Have you talked to a doctor recently about medicines? (In the past 7 months, that is.)

You are experiencing very typical symptoms of depression. I read your profile, and I'm very sorry about your recent misfortunes. I recommend that you try another psychiatrist. There are lots of meds for depression, and one of them is bound to help.

Not what you're looking for?
