Suggest Treatment For Severe Depression
Hello, Your wife having severe depression according to mentioned history. You need to consult only one good qualified psychiatrist for her treatment. If standard anti-depression drugs like SSRI not work than atypical antidepressant drugs can be prescribed. These medicine might take six months for seeing improvement. The electroconvulsive therapy and behavioral counseling also will be useful. So you can consult a psychiatrist and discuss all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
