What Are The Options For Treating Depression And Handling Stress Effectively?
I have had a lot of dark thoughts lately. My therapist and med doc know I am depressed. I keep it well hidden from my family, friends and everyone I know. This week I am on spring break and have more free time which is bad. I am not handling my stress very well. I am sleeping constantly. I am a career woman and cannot miss anymore work. Treatment is not working
Either you can take antidepressant like paroxetine or mirtazapine in treatment or you can try life style modification in form of relaxation exercise, yoga, meditation, spending time with friends on weekend. You can also consult a psychologist for stress management. That would help a lot and keep you calm.
Thanks
