========================================================================

…I am a psychiatrist who specializes in treating treatment-resistant depression. I attended Georgetown University’s medical school and completed my residency in Psychiatry from Columbia Presbyterian. For 36 years, I’ve been specializing mainly in the treatment of difficult psychiatric cases, depression as well as other illnesses and especially treatment-resistant depression. I have been using a new modality, TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), for the past five years. I will get back to it but I wanted to highlight some other new things that can help with treatment-resistant depression. One thing is very low dose Lithium like only 150 milligrams a day whereas somebody with manic depression might be on 1200 and to our surprise this low dose often helps people with depression in a week or two. I have 36 people I’ve collected in the last two years that had a significant antidepressant effect within two weeks. I have also found that vitamin D is a relatively new thing. It’s been proven to be effective in reducing depression within two weeks. We are all low in vitamin D since we are no longer farmers.
Trans-cranial direct current stimulation is another new modality. It involves running some electricity from the shoulder to the forehead. This small amount of electricity can have a positive effect on the brain and has been shown to reduce depression. I have tried it with dozens and even hundreds of people, and it sometimes works. Although it’s less successful than the TMS, it is still a great option. The TMS is a revolutionary in psychiatry. The FDA approved the first machine in 2008, and I purchased it in 2010.. It consists of a huge magnet. The magnet is created by running electricity through a copper wire and your pulse. This causes the magnet briefly to turn on and off. This magnet can be placed over the brain to stimulate certain areas. We do this by running electricity through a copper coil and your pulse. If it’s exitatory, it makes it easier for the neurons to discharge. After about two to three weeks, you will see some benefits. Then, you can hope that at least half of those suffering from depression will have remission.

Below are some helpful tips for dealing with depression.

Learn about depression

You might find it beneficial to learn more about depression and its symptoms. Depression can be a challenge to manage and may have a negative impact on your mental, social, as well as physical health. It is possible to overcome depression and leave a positive legacy for your children through taking the time to educate yourself. There are numerous organizations that offer help and educational resources for friends and family. These are not endorsements of a specific resource.

It is important to learn more about depression and the treatment options if you suspect that your loved one is suffering. First, make an appointment with a doctor to rule out other conditions that could be the cause of the depression. If the diagnosis is an undiagnosis medical professional can refer you to a mental health professional. You should be supportive but not judging. This will allow your loved one to feel better and allow them to concentrate on their recovery.

Talk to Someone About Your Depression

Talking with someone about your depression can have many benefits. Talking to someone about your depression will not only give you support , but will can also give you an insight. Family members and friends will feel more comfortable talking about the issue with you and may even offer assistance and advice. Talking about depression is an important step towards recovery. It is recommended to discuss it with a loved one or family member.

Be open to listening to your family or friend member and showing empathy before you talk to them about their depression. Be sure to show support and show compassion and use body language to express your concern. Try to meet in person, if you can. A lot of people suffer from depression. You may not even be aware that you’re suffering from it. However, it is essential to talk about depression openly and in depth with the people close to you to ensure it doesn’t worsen the situation.

Keep a journal

Journaling can be therapeutic for a lot of people. It can make people feel better instantly and can assist them in identifying when they’re feeling low. Writing about your thoughts and emotions is a great way to let go of some feelings you’re experiencing. Journals let you be as open and honest as you can. You can be as honest or private as you want in your journal. You are free to be honest because no one else will ever read it.

Keeping a journal helps you express your feelings verbally and allows you to change your perspective and replace negative self-talk with more positive words. It makes you feel good about yourself and conveys to your subconscious that it is worth the effort. This is particularly crucial if you suffer from depression. By keeping a journal, you’ll be able to discover what triggers your depression symptoms and learn new positive self-talk.

Visit a psychiatrist

A psychiatrist can help you identify the root of your depression and then treat it according to the cause. While you don’t require medication to treat depression, there are plenty of effective methods to tackle the symptoms. A psychiatrist can diagnose you by psychological tests and one on one evaluations. They can also conduct laboratory tests to rule any physical causes. A psychiatrist can assist you to identify the triggers for your depression, which will make it easier to manage. The purpose of the initial visit is to determine the root cause of your symptoms.

During the first consultation your psychiatrist will inquire about your symptoms and perform tests. Sometimes, they’ll order tests in the lab. A good psychiatrist should use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to determine if you’re suffering from any of the mental disorders as listed below. If the results come back with a different diagnosis, you may require the services of another psychiatrist. If you don’t feel comfortable with a particular physician, you can switch to a new one.

Talk to your doctor regarding depression medications.

Talking with your doctor about medications for depression is a good idea. Be real about what you would like to achieve. If you’re looking to receive a definitive diagnosis in a week, this is unlikely to be feasible. However, if your primary intention is to gain knowledge about the treatment and the disease process, this may be more realistic. In addition honesty with your physician is crucial to achieve the best outcomes. Discussing with your doctor about your symptoms can help your doctor decide the best path to take.

In addition to an extensive physical exam Your doctor will also conduct tests in the lab to determine the degree of depression. They will also speak with you about your thoughts, feelings and patterns of behavior. Some doctors may ask you to complete a questionnaire to help them determine the best course of action. You can look online for more information or download it before your appointment if you don’t want to fill out an application. You’ll be ready for anything.
