My dad is back on antidepressants for about the fouth time but for some reason this time isn't in complete denial about his feelings etc so is having a really hard time waiting for the tablets to start working. He has had a lot going on, been made redundant after 32 yrs, started a new business, my mum is very ill etc so this is the first time there has actually been a trigger for his depression.
He is now in week two of 100mg of citalopram (sp?) and is feeling worse than ever, he is particularly bad in the mornings.
Having real trouble as we are in a start-up business that is going nowhere and I think seeing me just makes him feel worse. The only thing that helps a bit is constant reassurance, any general conversation makes him very agitated.
Just wondering if anyone has got any advice as to how we can help or what is normal or some general websites on depression would be great.
