I dont think shes seen either of those kind of doctors , but ill put that idea out there too her . Usually its psychologist and psychiatrist mostly , and its sad to see that they dont seem to help much.

Im gonna check out the site , and see what ideas they might have swell. Excerise and company seem to be 2 things that really help and take her mind off of things . In terms of those newer therapies ill look into them more and see if they might help her case as well .

Definitely not easy watching people get old and depression is a bitch where the problem is all in the mind .

Thanks for the words and help!

She should get a full thyroid panel at her age with depression and any doc can write the script for that test. If shes hypo, push for an endocrinologist.

The truth is the professionals really dont understand how depression and other types of mental illness work. They throw some drugs at the problem, sometimes they work. It’s basically voodoo. The talk therapy is almost useless but it might get her to be more social.

I hear Anafranil which is good for anxiety is also shown to inhibit coronavirus in vitro so, maybe a two for one?
