Don’t Ignore The Warning Signs
Depression carries a risk of suicide - and while alternative therapies have shown significant promise in treating depression, it’s important that you talk to your doctor before discontinuing any prescribed therapies and discuss the pros and cons of the form of alternative therapy you’d like to try.
More importantly, if you or someone you know begins experiencing suicidal feelings, or expressing suicidal thoughts, it should be taken seriously. There are hotlines available, including 800-SUICIDE (800-784-2433) and 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255) to help you work through your problems, and you should seek medical help immediately.
