Suicide, taking your own life, is a tragic reaction to stressful life situations ? and all the more tragic because suicide can be prevented. Suicidal thoughts have many causes. Most often, suicidal thoughts are the result of feeling like you can't cope when you're faced with what seems to be an overwhelming life situation. If you don't have hope for the future, you may mistakenly think suicide is a solution. Reach out to a friend or a confidante who you feel comfortable talking to. You may get a different perspective about what is bothering you. If you feel there is no one, seek a professional. A psychiatrist or psychotherapist can help you explore the reasons and guide you regarding managing your issues. Effective treatment options are available.
Hi, My grandfather who is 80+ years old was taking Tancodep on a regular basis for last 10 years. Recently after the ban of this drug combination, we cannot find this drug anywhere in India and he is having problems in leading a normal life. I was just wondering if there are any alternatives to this medicine? Can we find separate medicines with Imipramine & Diazepam? If taken in same combination as Tancodep after consulting a doctor, will it produce the same results? Appreciate any help on this! Thanks Abhinav

Reactive depression is in response to a situation like loss, sickness, trauma etc. Endogenous depression occurs without any noticeable environmental stressors. Psychological symptoms include lack of interest, negative thinking, irritability, frustration, feeling demotivated etc. Somatic symptoms like fatigue/ weakness/ lack of sleep/ lack of appetite and other physical symptoms are common. Anxiety is common. In severe cases one may feel helpless and hopeless enough to wish for death or attempt suicide. Treatment includes physical and psychiatric work up following which medicines can be prescribed. In milder cases, psychotherapy or counselling is recommended.
