hi Danaliz

Don't worry about the suicidal thoughts. They are just thoughts and cannot make you do anything because we are always in charge of what we do. I have heard of people being on two antidepressants each working on separate sets of brain chemicals to give more help with depression.

The problem is that psychiatrists only do medication and not therapy. Are you in therapy? That can give you really good coping skills to manage symptoms. CBT has been adapted for all conditions. And there is acceptance and commitment therapy, which I use. It is based on research which indicates that, trying to get rid of thoughts or symptoms doesn't work because it only makes them worse, and the thing to do is to accept them. Saying to yourself I am having this thought and watching how it goes through your mind and disappears and keeping doing this till they stop. Which they always do, while at the same time getting on with the business of the day.. Keeping the mind busy doing things, especially enjoyable ones does take the focus away from depression. Setting small easily achievable goals gives the confidence that things are coming under control. I hope and pray things do work out with your psychiatrist. But if you become dissatisfied you can always get another one. Take care. Have a really great day. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
