Hi Guys and Girls,

I'm Lee - From sunny ol essex...

Thought it might help if I signed up on here, a very close friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with depression, she has been prescribled citalopram 20mg tablet and is currently in her 3rd week of taking it, but has said that it is about her 12th month of not feeling herself but it has got worse and worse from july ish,

Really I just wondered if there was any advice anyone could give me on how to help, i'm trying my best but im no expert in how to help or what i should be or shouldn't be doing... I can't begin to imagine how tough it must be for you guys to go through this and it really hurts to see someone I care about lots to be in such a bad place so any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway - thats me rambling on for long enough now... (sorry - coolest smilie ever!!!)

Lee
