Suggest Treatment For Suicidal Ideation With Depression
Suicidal ideation with depression
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to see that you have been experiencing such profound depression with suicidal and homicidal ideations. I see you have been to your medical provider and a psychologist to help with your ideations. Your therapists have you on topamax and risperdal in hopes of reducing your suicidal ideations. I also see that you have been in contact with our medical consultants and have been given information on treatment options.
I would suggest that you have depression with OCD. You have thoughts that become ingrained and recurrent that are interfering with your life. The medications should help and you may still need to have additional medications added to your treatment. I would also recommend that you do workbooks on OCD and depression. One book I recommend is the "Anxiety and Phobia Handbook" by Dr. Bourne. This is called cognitive behavioral therapy and may help with your distorted and ruminative thoughts.
I hope this helps. Keep working with your psychiatrist and psychologist to help you move forward
alligators
Detailed Answer:
There must be some traumatic event in your childhood related to something horrible. You then are equating the alligator to that person or event. It is not that you want to kill alligators you are really trying to get rid of or destroy the event that caused such terrible psychological damage. The alligator represents a psychological trauma. Learning how to develop proper coping and dealing with the anger related to that trauma will help you lessen its impact in your life.

One of the tools I recommend is using cognitive behavioral therapy. This is outlined in the book I mentioned "The Anxiety and Phobia workbook" by Dr. Bourne.

I recommend you discuss these options with your psychologist. Perhaps they can recommend a workbook that maybe better suited for you
