[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 551292, member: 1550"] If somebody is suicidal, like I once was, you really shouldn't give up on medication. Maybe he had the wrong medications or at the wrong dose, but he is probably not going to be able to get out of his mindset, since he is in such a dark place, on his own or just with therapy. It took me ten years to find t he right medication, but it changed my life. Sounds like he is seriously clinically depressed and that is a medical condition that usually needs medical intervention. While he is looking for the right medication, I also recommend either cognitive behavioral therapy or even better (in my opinion) dialectal behavioral therapy. I think both CBT and DBT are far better than just taliking. The other types of therapy teach you coping mechanisms. Just talking, which I've done plenty of, just made me feel sorry for myself. CBT was the first type of therapy that helped me. DBT helped me even more. Due to depression, I've been in psychiatric hospitals three times and it's true that you don't like to tell anybody, even your parents because you're afraid they will think you are crazy. I am so sorry for your pain and his and hope he feels better very soon. [/QUOTE]
