II have anger issues and I cannot get any help. My doctor tells me there's no more medications to try. He won't refer me to a psychiatrist. I tried to find a psychiatrist on my own by going through my insurance website and on my own most of them won't take me because my primary care physician. Isn't with their clinics. Their clinics that aren't taking new patients. My anger is getting worse and worse. I am not sure if this is part of depression or something new. It is to the point that I cannot… read more

I've been taking olanzapine 2.5mg for nearly a year. I've gained alot of weight. I've been reading about haloperidol which doesn't increase weight. What do others think?
Before my dad and mom's death I suffered from depression but meds helped, now I just want it all to end. I haven't been happy or been able to find joy in anything. I've lost all motivation for life. Is Adderall the answer? How do I get my Dr to prescribe it to me? I was told that I couldn't take my Xanax if I took Adderall. Is this true. Please help me to know the correct way to go about this. Also I just moved to another city and am waiting to see my new provider.
I've been through four different providers and have had to change due to insurance issues and one provider who just wouldn't listen to me about my side effects.

When I first started taking the Trintellix I had a scary episode, while driving to work I became very confused and didn't know where I was. That has never happened to me before. Instead of talking to my very bossy psyc nurse I quite the Trintellix by myself. I am looking for alternatives to meds, has anyone had any success with TMS? What do you think of this combination of drugs. When I first started taking antidepressants I felt great. The last med Pristiq did wonders for me but it booped out… read more

Does it effect ur sex drive cause I have no sex drive
Depression by itself can affect your sex drive with someone else but not necessarily by yourself and even if you have sex with your spouse/partner just to please them, it's certainly not the same as… read more
I don't consider feeling sad about something bad that happened depression. That is a normal response to something. To me depression is feeling bad when I don't really have a reason to. Or feeling too bad about something that happened. Too bad for too long.
What causes that? Why do I react differently than other people?
I talked with several Psychiatrists and psychologist over the year's and my final answer is they are all quacks. I had a lot of issues growing up and just like many of you the anger and the pain… read more
