I am noticing more and more ladies who are suffering long term, non-responsive depression, who are living with partners who are abusing them either mentally or physically, or more often than not, both. Often these ladies are living with dominating, controlling, highly selfish, insecure individuals who have sucked every drop of serotonin out of their poor minds.
These ladies are so ashamed of what has happened to them, because the emotional and mental abuse is so severe, that they do not tell the doctors what is really happening at home, so the problem never gets sorted. The doctors try every medication under the sun and nothing works. It can last for years or even decades.
Sometimes these ladies are driven to despair and leave the abusive partner, taking the kids with them. And guess what? The depression dramatically improves within about 48 hours!
Does this strike a chord with anyone here?
Don’t be afraid, speak out, we will support you.
