Can you answer byee77777’s question about Depression?:

Nearly everyone I know who are on antidepressants have some level of sexual side effects. I understand that medications have side effects, but I’ve been on many different antidepressants over the past 3 years and it seems that I have problems with orgasms. I either have very muted orgasms or nothing at all.

My question: How do you deal with the sexual side effects? My doctor has tried dosage adjustments, drug changes, all sorts of different combinations of drugs, but it seems that antidepressants affect my orgasm trigger. Please serious answers only. Thanks. If you were able to overcome this problem, how do you do it?
I give all the medications a fair trial, none was less than 3 months. It was my doctor who decides when it’s proper to make a change. I’ve been on antidepressants for years and side effects are part of the drug trial. This question only addressed the sexual side effects and how to deal with it. I’m fully aware of what is a fair trial of these meds. Please, I’m not look for an opinion on just side effects. I would assume that most of the people on an antidepressant will relate to this and they might have some useful advice on how to deal with issues specifically sexual side effects.

I know this person who says she suffers from depression, but she has these extreme highs and lows. She goes from being giddy, compulsive and promiscuous to threatening to kill herself. Do you think she’s really manic depressive, and why would she lie about her condition?

Bipolar Disorder Manic Depression

Can you answer xsister_awakex’s question about Depression?:

I had a baby 8 months ago and was monitored because of post-partum depression. While that has gone away, I seem to have become severly depressed from things other than the baby. I lack any motivation to do things, even eating is a struggle. I do eat but usually not until I have been starving for hours. I just don’t want to get up until it’s so bad that I’m in pain. I at one point had to get treatment for panic disorder. It was gone for awhile but is back again. My main problem is not being able to become motivated enough to do daily activities. I know exercise will help me but I can’t do that when I have no energy.

I hate prescriptions. Please don’t suggest any of those to me. Any herbal or natural remedies would be great though. Thanks.

Treatment For Major Depression

Can you answer Sine Language’s question about Depression?:

WW1 was called the Great War before everyone decided to have at it again, so they had to rename the wars as World Wars 1 and 2. Since it looks like we will now have to rename the Great Depression, what would you suggest? World Depression 2 does not sound very good. Maybe The Coolidge Depression and The Bush Depression?
