Depressed and Coping: Treating Depression When Medication Fails

Helping them realize they are depressed and seek help. Many times they might accept the fact that they are depressed however they don't do anything about it. No matter how much you will love them, if they don't help themself no one can. We will need to love them and keep on trying to ask them to seek help before it is to late.

Depression is low oxygen in my brain....causes also anxiety/fear/obssesions/no sleep/MS and panic. I do DMPS/EDTA IV chelations that remove heavy metals and unclog my blood vessels. The heavy metals block my thyroid which affects oxygen use in the brain. I take vitamins that raise oxygen...like rhodiola and coenzyme Q10 and 5000mcg of biotin, Vit A, zinc, Vit B12 shot B complex and the good oils: 2 fish oil, 2 evening primrose oil, 2 lecithin, krill oil, phosphatidylserine/DMAE, CLA....Celiac diet (no dairy or gluten)....Osteoprocare instead of dairy and organic brown rice instead of gluten. www.enterolab.com stool sample and cheek genetic test helps to diagnose celiac....blood tests and biposies don't work half of the time to diagnose celiac. I need bioidentical hormones to keep the blood flow to my head and oxygen. I need 5000IU of Vit D3..makes me laugh the first week. Dairy free acidophilus. Nature's plus - Source of Life multiple. Lithium orotate 10mg 2X a day....and more. LDN (low dose naltrexone) 3 mg helps to block celiac and helps depression. Celiac causes the intestines to be wrecked in an autoimmune way due to gluten and then they don't absorb nutrients...then the cells are not made right or work right...then they are low in oxygen which causes depression etc.. Dairy gave me depression no medicine could help...destroyed my brain and gave me seizures/bladder issues and more.

Change your mind to change your life. Change the way you think. Know that everything is good just as it is.

The Science of Mind Church teachings give a very positive view of who you are.

I am a spiritual being having a physical experience.

I am One with God. I am made in His image, therefore I am OK.

God is Love, I am Love. God is health. I am health. God is Joy. I am Joy. God is Light, I am Light. God is Peace. I am Peace. All these things that God is, I am.

Make these affirmations again and again every day. God knows what you need even before you do,

Have an attitude of gratitude. Look in the mirror and smile, knowing all is well and it shall be given to you.

I found this article to be very helpful and am sending it to my wife so that perhaps she can gain a better understanding of my health condition.

Regular aerobic exercise definitely helps keep my mood on an even keel.

Regular contact with trusted friends and family is a huge benefit. The challenge is to force myself to maintain contact when I'm depressed because it is the last thing that I feel like doing.

A refreshing night's sleep is a rare thing for me, but it a definite benefit in treating my depression. I've also found that daily, short naps (20-30 minutes) offer regular relief from fatigue, depression and anxiety.

I've also been on medication for more than a decade (I'm 48 yrs old) and although it has definitely helped, I've been wondering lately if it's becoming less effective because of the severity of returning depression symptoms.
