My son has been diagnosed with clinical depression as a result of problems within his business. He has an appointment with a cognitive therapist. He is the nicest most grounded person you could ever meet, perhaps he has been too kind and understanding. |

Paula I hope things improve for your son. I'm sure that the current financial crisis will have effected many people that otherwise would not have had problems. Hard working, level headed people like your son. It is so difficuly to hold everything together these days. My thoughts are with you both. |

hey - don't worry - I've had clinical depression for years - went through a bad patch in 1996 when I was diagnosed and have been on antidepressants ever since - wil probably have to take them for the rest of my life, but my GP says that's no problem. |

A lot more people are suffering clinical depression these days, Paula. Stresses of modern living must be partially the cause. I hate to admit I went through a very severe bout about 11 years ago. Occasionally I have to tell people and - guess what - my last 3 bosses all have suffered and been on all types of medication. |

people with clinical depression always keep a smile on their face - no one ever has a clue until they reach breaking point - then it can be dealt with |

Thank you all so much for your responses. I have been to see my son today, and he seemed to be brighter. He has a lovely wife and step daughters who adore him so he is enjoying and making he most of their attention. Whilst I was there he took a couple of phone calls from the office which seemed to cheer him up. He has an appointment to see his GP tomorrow, hopefully things will start to become |

Totally agree with Ann, once everything to do with the medication and therapy is sorted and in his system and he gets the help he needs he will be moving in the right direction........Tiny steps are all it takes <3 <3 |

So much pressure within the workforce these days so I hope that your son can step back and that he gets the help and the medication he needs to feel well in himself again before too long. Of course you are going to worry about your son. You're his Mum and it comes naturally with the job! I will remember him and your family in prayer. |

Paula, I am glad your son is getting the support and therapy he needs and if he is getting support from his workplace too, so much the better. I am sure he will cope with the depression as the mechanisms are put in place and also as the days lengthen and get brighter he might feel a bit better too. So many people suffer with SAD as well which really doesn't help lift the spirits. |

Thank you all so much for your very kind messages of concern and support. I have to confess that it came as a shock when my son told me of his depression, I had no idea how he was feeling. He hid it very well, he has simply tried |
