[tmarie90]

I have sufferer with anxiety & panic atttacks for many years & have been on quite a few different types of anti-depressants, seen loads of therapist, tried natural remedies, reading etc & still struggling...
My Depression was bought on because I was depressed about my anxiety restricting my life, but now its in its own category of its own!!!

I have searched in the Internet, but haven't succeeded, but curious....

Are there places, older teenages/early 20 year olds can go & stay where everyone's going through the same thing & there's people there to help you 24/7 etc???

I'm from Northern Suburbs in Melbourne & really would like to know where & details about it...

Thanks

Hello there hon!

Sorry you're going through such a rough time.  With some professional help, and some time and patience (and some work on your part), you WILL be able to regain your quality of life.

Secondary depression is common among people with chronic anxiety.  Most of my depression is caused by that.  Regardless of the cause, it needs addressed (as does the anxiety for sure).  A lot of times just treating the anxiety will help the depression a lot.

It's good to see you are open minded about treatment options, that's a good thing.  Not everyone qualifies for an inpatient stay for management of depression and anxiety, but I think contacting the above facility that B found for you is a great place to start!  Give them a call for sure...and if they tell you you wouldn't be a candidate for their program, ask them to refer you to an agency (like social services) who would be able to help you find an outpatient treatment program.  You can always ask your doctor for referrals as well.

I wish you the very best, please let us know how it's going okay?
