Hi Hugh,
Sorry, I didn't mean to insult your intelligence by suggesting that just having somebody empathetic sitting with you for an hour or so would be enough to help your depression. It's just I'm really cynical about these alternative treatments. For me, when I'm feeling suicidal and extremely anxious, the idea of being given something like Rhodiola Rosea is something akin to spraying lavendar around a woman in child birth, when she just wants an epidural!
I read the link you sent me on neurofeedback, thanks for that. It sounds interesting. I will do a bit more research on it. How could you tell it was helping you?
I came off my seroxat around January of this year and I was kind of dabbling around with all of the meds that I have. I was doing ok until about two weeks ago and then all of a sudden I started to spiral down, panic attacks, really empty, disorientated feeling, constant anxiety, no interest in anything and not sleeping for days, not eating and retching, then come the suicidal thoughts. I'm back on the Seroxat now and feeling better but would something like Neurofeedback help me when I'm in that state do you think?
