Suggest Treatment For Depression After The Death Of A Loved One
I have been treated for depression - eating disorders n the past with Effexor It s been 4 years since I was last treated and have been fine. However my father passed away in November and I am feeling down again. I have never had suicidal thoughts. I just do not have insurance and am a single mom. How can I get treated and back on medication to help get through this grieving time?
