What is the treatment for depression?
human
i know im not feeling good and the longer i leave it the harder and worse it seems to get. i know im depressed even though i havent seen a doctor. last january i became an amphetamine user and sadly become addicted and was abusing this drug everyday for less than a year and without any help i pulled myself out of it which was hard but i feel i have lost part of myself or feel there something missing about me. i tried explaining to my friend that i felt like a different person tryin to find my old self. i have weird thoughts goin through my mind tryin to figure out a point to life and i can sit there for hours believe me. also i know im paranoid because i find it uncomfortable around places and people i dont know and i just want to leave and aroind places that arent my usual surroundings. dont like public transport anymore and tend not to leave my street becasue of this only for work which is just down the road. since just before christmas ive started with panic attacks. i just dnt know where to start because i used to have good days and bad days and just before christmas i decided to get myslef a job in a pub to help me and im still there now but im finding it hard to work their when i should of took care of myself first by gettin help as i feel worse now and this is becomming a problem

It had multi modality  approach . 1st proper psychological   evaluation   is necessary   to find underlying   psychopathology . 2nd treatment  of   depression   is must.It can be traeted   with medicine  like  combination  of  SSRI  and  benzodiazapine . In  SSRI  sertraline  /  escitalopram /  peroxetine   will help.Benzodiazapine   can help to reduce   withdrawl   features   of amphetamine   abuse.Amphetamine   itself psycho stimulating   and lead to various  psychological  problems . 3rd is   De addiction   of drug abuse.Indoor psychiatric   care is must.Medicines  /psychotherapy  /councelling   etc will be useful . Consult  psychiatrist  and  get  help . I  hope  I  have  answered  your  question . Still  if  you  have  a  query  then  feel  free  to  ask . Happy  to  help  you  further . Thank  you .
