My daughter aged 26 yrs, unmarried is suffering from depression since last 2 yrs. We consulted Psychiatrist during Jan 2013 and was on treatment for 6 months after undergoing the following tests; 1. Awake ECG( which is normal),2. SAS,SDS,SQ% (normal)3. Random plasma glucose, creatinine (normal) 4.TSH 3.19 ( within limit) 5.CPB (normal). Unfortunately,without doctors advice she discontinued the medication in July 2013 and during June 2014 she again suffered the depression and attempted suicide 3 times. The doctor again put on medication since June 2014 till todate.Now she is using 1. Toficalm 50 mg.(1tab mor & 1 tab eve) 2. quitipin 100 mg (1/2 mor, 1/2 afn and 1 eve) and 3. Paradize XR 25 mg.(1/2 mor & 1 tab eve). She has at present no signs of depression. My doubt is how long she should be on medication and when should we perform her marriage.

Depression is a relapsing disorder. So your aim is how good she will live with depression and its treatment. The question of marriage comes next. Marriage alone will not cure her depression. It is not in her hands to feel good and confident which she wants. Her brain chemicals need to be set right so that she enjoys her married life and takes up the responsibilities of a wife.
