How can I help someone with manic depression?
The first thing to do is to find a psychiatrist that you trust and talk to them and explain exactly how she is feeling. What makes it better? What makes it worse. I am on a medication called Latina, it is an anti-psychotic med, not an antidepressant. Those meds work differently. If she tries an antidepressant, it will take about 2-3 weeks before she can tell if she is feeling better, if it’s not enough they can always go up a little. Sometimes the 1st one doesn’t make a difference. Tell her to be patient, it may take several different medications to get just the right one; sometimes you get lucky and the 1st one works great. If none seem to help, they may need to try an anti-psychotic med instead. Patience is a virtue here, I went through many meds or cocktails of meds to find what worked for me. God bless you for helping her. Keep your head up and keep reminding her she is taking the first steps to feeling better. READ MORE
