We have some good news about Zoloft and two sad truths about medical treatment in general.

The first sad truth affects all medications including Zoloft. Whether they be prescription or over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, health and herbal supplements, or dietary products, they are designed to be absorbed into your blood stream. Once there, the active chemicals go everywhere inside your body. This means that these chemicals circulate through your unborn baby via the umbilical cord. If your baby is born and you are breast-feeding, the chemicals are almost certainly going to be in your milk.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and I have been feeling pretty depressed. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I have been really stressed out. I was extremely happy during my first pregnancy but not this time. I have been feeling this way for a few weeks now but I thought I was just having pregnancy mood swings. I started having other symptoms like sleeping a lot, eating all the time, feeling low and irritable, and very fatigued. I don’t feel suicidal or anything but I don’t want it to go that far. I plan to talk to my midwife at my next prenatal appt but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the treatment usually is for depression during pregnancy. I know there are some meds that are safe during pregnancy and I would like to know what they are and what are the side effects. I appreciate any advice so thanks in advance.

i’m 10 weeks pregnant and insanely depressed.. it’s really bad.. i will see a doctor about it, but in the mean time would like to know if anyone was able to effectively treat their depression during pregnancy.. are there any meds you can take? i’m not just a touch sad, i’m severely depressed..

For about 3 years now, I have on the anti-depressant Lexapro. When I become pregnant, [which we're hoping for soon!] obviously I cannot take the medication anymore, so I was wondering if the depression stays the same, or gets better or worse? If it is worse or the same, what do they use as treatment? Has anyone been through something similar?
I know that I can’t continue the Lexapro for now- I dont plan to.

When these symptoms become very intense, they start interfering with one’s ability to normally carry out even the daily chores. The person feels unable to do anything about it; other people need to help him out of this depressive situation. Appropriate treatment is required to help most people who suffer from depression.

With all our medical advances, why is it that the incidence of depression and anxiety is skyrocketing. The World Health Organisation says that depression is the most disabling disease in the Western World today, yet all mental healthcare specialists seem to talk about is “evidence based” treatments such as counselling and anti depressants. Whilst these strategies have been shown to be helpful for some people, if this was really cutting edge advice, why aren’t we seeing the incidence of depression declining or at the very least plateauing. This in no way seeks to imply that medication and psychological counselling don’t have their place in treating depression, just that we are not exploring all the variables

Having interviewed thousands of people who have battled with depression, I am convinced that there are some serious issues with the “evidence based” approach to treating depression. These can be summarised as follows:
