I have been diagnosed with severe Depression. Are taking medications going to bring back my sex drive? Also..i can't stop crying all day sometimes. Why, I don't know

The anti-depressants i'm on don't allow me to perform but i still have an urge to. This makes me more depressed! I also have hyperthyroidism which confuses me more. still get into a funk at times but overall im feeling better! except for sleeping all day and not being able to perform

Hi,
I suffer from ibs. Recently,  It's Been Getting worse. I have really bad diarrhea every day and some sort of cyst or hemmoroid. My stomach hurt a slot and I've been really stressed out.

Antidepressants CAN alleviate depression as it works on the chemicals in the brain.  Good diet, good sleep hygiene is helpful but will not change neurotransmitters.  However, most antidepressants have the side effect of decreasing your sex drive.

In my experience taking anti depression medication doesn't increase sex drive. Pamela

Although many people are treated with anti depressant drugs, these medications do not cure sadness that is the true cause of the depression. When our lives are not going well, we feel down or depressed.  This is nature’s way of telling us to make some changes.

In order to feel good, the following seven factors must be present in our lives.
- good nutrition
- fresh air
- sunshine
- physical activity
- purposeful activity
- good relationships
- adequate and regular sleep

All the best,
