Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hello, My husband has done this to me ( he put me on Wellbutrin, well not he himself, but he talked to my Dr.) Up till now I was steaming mad about this, but your mail has changed my mind. Thank you JJ -- Re: What do I do if I have to take the meds On other thing there are different types of depression, you can have depression when your life makes a drastic change such as this surgery and while you certainly feel bad it seems to have an end point when the benefits of the surgery begin to out weigh what we are mourning such as food, meals with family, social interactions, etc. Ther there is chronic depression that may or may not be triggered by life 's circumstances, certainly it can be exacerbated by them, but this depression doesn't lift after a bit of time or exercise or what ever. This is a physical disorder and needs treatment, medicine of some sort and in some cases you will need to add talk therapy to help you adjust. This is the depression I was referring to that someone suffering from this might need to have a loved one or friend intercede on their behalf and make them seek medical treatment because they might be too incompacitated by depression to do this on their own. anne > anne i was reading on a site that depression after the surgery in the beginning is very normal part of the recovery process. > > . > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 This is so true anne in my case i am bi-polar but if you seen me on the street you would never be able to tell. But then again if you knew me on a much deeper lever you deffinately would know i am bi-polar. . millasandra wrote: On other thing there are different types of depression, you can have depression when your life makes a drastic change such as this surgery and while you certainly feel bad it seems to have an end point when the benefits of the surgery begin to out weigh what we are mourning such as food, meals with family, social interactions, etc. Ther there is chronic depression that may or may not be triggered by life 's circumstances, certainly it can be exacerbated by them, but this depression doesn't lift after a bit of time or exercise or what ever.
