my wife went fucking crazy

Quote from Sell 'em:

The sad reality is that depression, unrecognized and untreated, can lead to criminal activity. Still, last I checked thoughts in and of themselves are not a crime.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt in assuming that you were joking. Apparently I was too generous. Welcome to my ignore list assclown.

Not sure what you are taklking about here. A person suffering from full-blown clinical depression does not have enough energy to commit a crime as psychomotor function is greatly reduced. Perhaps you are referring to other psychoses such as schizophrenia, etc.
 
Someone posted a referral to Daniel Amens work. The guy is superb at what he does.

There is a series in youtube you can peruse

You should tune negative comments to zero and be a good listener.

My opinion is your wife is going through depression and or menopause. Her increased interest in teenaged boys is interesting given the sex drive in women decrease during menopause.

You should try recommending a break from the psychiatrist. Most of these people have no incentive to cure their patients.

Also statistically you have less than 20% chance of being happy with someone else if you've been married this long.

Depression isn't monolithic, and 'full-blown clinical depression' has no specific meaning except for the speaker. Just for one example, ever heard of manic-depressive?? In the manic phase one can have very high levels of energy, while also severely 'depressed.'

This is the problem: every butt-fuck jumps to their own preconceived notion of what 'depression' is, when in fact the illness manifests in very different ways, with different people, under different circumstances.

Another example: Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a form of depression that was ridiculed until only recently. Well, guess what? Soldiers aren't the only ones who get PTSD. And some people are physically more susceptible to it than others. The baddest army rangers on the planet can get knocked sideways by it, and yes, even be led to criminal acts, including the murder of family members and such. Do these guys lack for energy when they spiral downward? Not in any permanent, fixed way.

Okay, Mr. Buttfuck ( as you so eloquently put it) are you a licensed psychiatrist or licensed psychologist? If not, your opinion is as worthless as mine. Depression dates back to the beginning of time. Just because there are more psychotics running around than ever before does not negate the basic symptoms. Some of these individuals are jacked up on drugs, and in "psychosis", not exactly 'depression".

The young punk who walks into a convenience store and commits a crime is more likely in a drug-induced psychosis as opposed to being depressed. Fort hood shooter obviously psychotic.
 
Yes the likely diagnosis is depression, and not menopause. Even as an MD, I have a hard time accepting depression as being any more real than ADD or Restless Leg Syndrome. Not all infirmities require medication. That's the reason I didn't pursue specialization into psychiatry, because Western science, while much of it is excellent and highly advanced, is fraught with conflict of interest and poor judgement.

My thinking has always been: depression, anxiety, stress, or any undesirable emotive action, is and has always been an integral part of human function. Much of it is very natural and actually productive for the brain. In excess, like anything else, it will be destructive. To disrupt these natural processes just to 'feel better' is a hoax to your body, mind and spirit.

I'm all for popping a few tylenol when you are in pain, and dealing with a little pain is good for the spirit. How do you know what good feelings are if you don't ever have any bad ones.

My disdain for neuro drugs doesn't stem from the Chemistry or the pathology, which is clearly brilliant.
 
Optional, you say your wife have childhood stress.

Everything is good for 12 years for you and her.
Now you and her will move to the new place.
Then she want to go to therapy?

Is her childhood stress someone attack her?
Because that fear can come back to her when (anything) make her feel stress (like moving to the new place) because her brain experience that (VERY BIG) fear one time, it change the brain. Now she panic for something that is nothing to be afraid of. (like moving) That moving trigger her fear from her childhood. Is just my opinion from what you say.
So if she understand why she feel fear , this can help her so much.
Exercise and fatty acids for the brain help too.
 
when you are born ,you recieve genetic traits, eyes,hair color, body shape, predisposition to certain ailments, diseases...that s widely accepted. When you are raised, you copy the mental thinking examples given you. Better than 80% of the time ,if you were molested as a child, the molester was also. This would make for a depressed mental state that would always be inside your head,not always turned on, but there . I f this person had to learn to think in ways to suppress it, all the while having it subdued but intact,they would teach a way of thinking which accepts but rejects depression,simply as a survival technique. This entire person's way of thinking,if clinically encapsulated, would be deemed as less than a healthy, self nurturing way to grow and succeed thru life. That subdued depression could be turned on like a light with the flick of a switch,a rude comment, an unwanted touch, a scene in a movie, a mother's mistreatment of a child in a grocery store checkout line....etc.... To salvage there exixtence and prosper this person would have to adopt a way of thinking that would transcend the pain and the only time i've seen this was thru a deep spiritual transformation,if you don't believe in a higher power ,this option is out,sadly ,phsychiatry today hasn't a better option than drugs.
 
ammo, you are saying someone can only be healthy if they believe in god? So you put FEAR in someone to make them believe they can not be healthy until they believe in that god.
You use FEAR for your tool. That is not kind.
 
trend, many people do well thru life without such a belief...i'm saying that the trauma of child molestation is so traumatic on a childs mind, that they can never get rid of the pain, statistically ,the fact that over 90% of molesters were molested as children,suggests that to be true. I've only known one person to overcome this trauma, which he then passed on to his daughters,who is now reaching new heights in his life and helping others overcome this, working with inmates and recovering child/adults and this is his staff of life
 
You will be surprise how much the 13 year old can understand IF someone talk to them about their fear from attack. And be very healthy 18 year old.
