Drugs for stress and depression

Get help. No medals for trying to gut depression out. The drugs can save your life. Literally.

for explaining to some that people handle stress in different ways. People were jumping to all types of conclusions like depression which was so left field. Glad that some aren't doctors.

Stress is the root of many divorces. One source of stress most deadly is the stress placed upon parents by the death, sickness, and/or waywardness of a child. Having a child go off tract as set out in this story puts great stress on the parents, Guilt, Blame, Depression, Anger, Shame, Public Embarrassment, Failure as a Parent. It drives people apart or together. Most likely apart.
A very good story

I am impressed by the way that you have dripfed this story to give a realistic impression of David's time at Casavana with long periods of boredom and depression interspersed with bursts of physical and mental torture.
I am getting very worried about his mental health at this point. All this prolonged physical and mental abuse has got to have long term effects. At least post traumatic stress disorder and probably depression.
No clue what the bitch Becky has in store for him next, probably leaving him for Josh, but whatever it is it can only make his mental health worse

3 months later they went for their check up and found she had given him HIV. Everybody made fun of him for being the cuck who got HIV from his wife until he eventually fell into a depression and hung himself. Not able to afford drugs to keep the AIDS at bay she died a year later in her sleep

I have been disabled by depression for 12 years. I would like to add the following comments:
1) The Tom Cruises of this world together, with the 'just get over it' people of this world, should have to live with 'drug resistant depression' for 1 year. Well maybe 5 years for Tom. That would change their attitudes and make them forever thankful that they are not depressed.
2)Consider sleep apnea as an underlying cause of depression becoming unmanageable. If you become depressed as a result of too much stress and inability to sleep, have yourself tested for sleep apnea. I was living with undiagnosed and untreated depression and functioning until home and work stress became unmanageable. When sleep apnea made my blood pressure uncontrollable by medication after 10 years of suffering, a specialist determined my problem and I got treatment. I now sleep well and the medications normally control the depression and high blood pressure. But I am still suffering the results of 10 years of prescription drugs and sleep apnea. For me those are: Obesity 150+ excess pounds; Severe Joint Pain in knees, elbows and shoulders whenever the joints are used; Weakened and oversized Heart which results in swollen feet and lower legs; permanently damaged kidneys; a slowed metabolism that severely affects my ability to reduce my weight; and the inability to do any physical activity for more than 15 minutes.
3)Do not be surprised if you have to change doctors or psychologists many times before you find one that works for you. I am on my 9th Dr., including psychiatrists, and 5th psychologist and believe that I have found the right people.
4) Do not rule out unconventional medicine. I laughed off an acquaintance's suggestion that I try acupunture until he said 'what have you got to lose'. I went from being unable to walk a block with a cane to being cane free and walking 10 or more blocks. I also went from a normal mood of 3 out of 10 to 5 out of 10 (neutral) with regular happy periods. I see the acupunturist every week and do as I am told.
5)Talk openly about depression. That is the only way to change peoples attitudes about it.
