Always feel under the weather? Still not want to rub
shoulders with others and have a good time? If you suffer from prolonged
sadness for some time now, you have to deal with these depression fits and get
diagnosed by a psychiatrist. These are doctors who can help you solve your
problem. Not to mention the various treatments for depression, as well as all
sorts of depression medications that doctors prescribe to their patients with
depression.
Fortunately, depression can now be cured, especially when
diagnosed early, depressed people may actually be treated with depression
therapy and medication, although it may cost a bit, good mental health should
not not be neglected. Cognitive behavioral conversations or interpersonal
conversations are incredibly healthy depression treatments; they are just some
of the treatments available for psycho social depression that
cognitive-behavioral therapists can offer to their patients. They are actually
able to produce successful and positive results, even for short sessions. about
ten to twenty weeks are almost always enough for the depressed patient to
slowly start recovering and regain healthy mental health.
Before starting to take medication for depression, the
depressed patient must first seek treatment from a reputed physician, to get
the diagnosis of the type of depression that he is actually suffering: clinical
depression, manic depression or whatever. . It is best that you know exactly
what you are dealing with, as there are various depression medications
available on the market. Make sure you have the most appropriate medicine, one
that will actually cure your illness.
There is actually a wide variety of antidepressant
medications for depression to treat those with depressive disorders. The most
popular are those that are selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors or SSRI
variants, then there are tricycles, while the other popular variant is
mono amine oxidase inhibitors or MAOIs. These anti-depression drugs (the SSRI
variant as well as the other new anti-depression medication available on the
market) are actually a much safer alternative to tricycle drugs because they
have fewer side effects than tricycle antidepressant treatment.
Sometimes, doctors actually find it more effective to mix
these medications for depression. Depending on everyone's needs, the doctor may
even prescribe a variety of medications to help cure depression. In addition,
doses of depression medications may be increased or decreased depending on what
the doctor considers most effective. However, when it comes to taking these
drugs against depression, it is strongly recommended that patients never mix
these drugs and choose the doses to take without consulting their doctor
beforehand.
Anti-anxiety or sedatives, however, should never be confused
with drugs for depression. Although these anti-anxiety medications are often
prescribed at the same time as depression medications, they do not really help
to cure the disease of depression. Their only purpose is to help calm the
nerves, so the patient should always take medication for depression.
In general, depression medications have common side effects,
usually tricyclic. Some people tend not to worry about these side effects of
depression medications. However, if it bothers you greatly and may ruin your ability
to function properly, it is best if you talk to your doctor right away. The
fairly common side effects of depression medications are:
Dry mouth: always having the irritating feeling of being
hydrated, it is better to always have water (clean and drinkable) nearby to
have something to drink whenever the mouth is dry, to chew gum without sugar
and brush your teeth after each meal. It's also a good idea.
Constipation: Treat this discomfort by eating and absorbing
a lot of fiber to help your digestion.
Blurred vision: Another temporary side effect, this one is
quite easy to control, but if it is too disturbing, consult your doctor
immediately.
Headache: Quite common with newer types of depression
medications, it really does not matter and will go away easily.
