phillipa,my first depression was after childbirth,started,as always w/intense anxiety,then no sleep,then no eat,and finally sliding down into the pit.I was 28.Had mild anxiety up to then.It seems to be a major change,where you have to find a "new normal",that gets me.I never took any meds until the most recent episode.Between the postpartum and the last one,I had an episode that almost went into depression,but I knew I had to be there for my child,and I just took care of the anxiety w/diet/sleep/exercise,and barely got out of it,so I didnt end up depressed.I went yrs,did fine, then the vertigo caused my major one,in fact,that one went into psychosis because i refused treatment. What has been your hx w/this terrible disease?
