I'm a mental health nurse (a newly qualified one, I received my BA in Nursing in November) and I've faced the difficult conquest of working towards 'fixing' someone. With physical illnesses, doctors will often research the illness, give them a tablet, review them and send ...  Read the complete review

Unfortunately I've had the 'pleasure' of sampling some of the different methods of treating psychological illnesses (namely depression) - both medication and therapy wise - so I felt that this would be a useful topic for me to write on. As with my other reviews on similar topics, I'll be frank but I will try and avoid 'triggering' ...  Read the complete review

I'd like to begin the review by stating that Cipramil is a prescription only medication, and should only be taken if prescribed to you by your doctor. I do not write this review to advertise or endorse this product, and would certainly not tell anyone to take it - that advice should again only be given by a qualified health professional ...  Read the complete review

well, I could sit here and harp on about my depression and the drugs for hours, but I'm not going to as this is about the pills specifically. When I first went on Cipramil I thought it was the answer to all my prayers. The first few weeks were tough, but my GP told me that it would be so I was prepared. ...  Read the complete review

I've suffered from depression for 6 years, although I went untreated for 4 years. I'd never wanted to ask for help, I just thought I needed to grow up. But, even when I had the man of my dreams and a great job, things still weren't right. I went to my GP, advised him I wasn't feeling right and spent a while ...  Read the complete review

From about the age of 18 I have been suffering from anxiety with associated depression. This coincided with my parents divorce amongst excess in other things. Now the reason that my condition got so bad was doubtless due to the way I think about things; I have an obsessive nature and tend to dwell on things including the way I feel. ...  Read the complete review

3 years ago I suffered my first bout of anxiety/panic attacks followed by depression. I honestly thought I was losing my mind and that I would be this way for the rest of my life. I got my first symptoms in the month of April and my boyfriend took me to the doctor, because I could not go on my own. I was scared to go outside and my ...  Read the complete review

I was suffering from panic attacks (although didn't realise they were panic attacks for 2 years). I thought I was getting heart attacks, strokes, fits, brain cancer, you name it! I would lie in bed and try and sleep and then there's be this bang sound in my brain and I'd sit up and start to panic. I would maybe get ...  Read the complete review
