I was worried about you today... I saw the new mood icon.

I'd call the doctor and see if you could arrange some antidepressants for the short term.

The person you are talking about, can develop depression commonly as a result of treatment and this disease state. A rapid intervention, may help get your family over this crisis.

I'd also make sure enough Vit D is being taken...low levels are directly linked to severe depression (if doctor approves). As well as folic acid. (I guess the SAMe is no longer working?). Also get this guy outside where the sun is, for a bit each day..this helps too.

I am very concerned and saddened that you are experiencing this. But I am not very strong on this subject myself. So that is where I have to leave it for now. You can reach me anytime if you need.
