      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      depressed all of life. Hospitalized 3 times in past 2years for suicidal thoughts and attempts. Doing much better since november. 6 months is pretty good. on top of the world thanks to very frequent CBT

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      currently on this and am doing well but i would attribute my success to other forms of treatment
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      worked better than any other treatment for me but i learned i can't go just once a month and if i'm suicidal i go everyday till i'm not anymore. Only works on people willing to trust therapists expertise

      felt awful on this drug
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      helped for about 5 weeks then back to tears
      Meditation Working / Worked
      helped me learn to observe my emotions like this made me sad and i am sad now and to except that sometimes you will feel sad but it will pass
      Paxil Not Working
      didn't help
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      apparently if you take like 30mins out of your day to think happy thoughts it makes it easier to have happy thoughts all the time like practice makes perfect
      Prozac Working / Worked
      took it with wellbutrin and loved it very affective
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      helps with anxiety
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      a must
