[|Human|] my son who is now 26 was diagnosed with depression/anxiety about six years ago. He was given antidepressants and saw a psychologist . He felt neither were particularly helpful He since then has been unemployed and for several years was extremely isolated and struggled through a lot of confusion insomnia and mental discomfort including guilt and anxiety for not feeling he was able to cope with the outside world. He now attends fortnightly meetups for the socially anxious and shy and occasionally attends another social group . He has not been able to find work but volunteers weekly at an aged care facility where he trains elderly in gaming technology. All of these appeared to be signs of recovery. Recently his depression has flared up and from what I read , he has all the symptoms of agitated depression (along with possibly other mood disorders). I ve read this should be treated very differently to other kinds of depression. He has resisted help for a long time but has been feeling desperate enough lately to try other kinds of therapy. Do you know of anyone specializing in the treatment of agitated (mixed states ) depression? Any advice is welcome
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  As you describe he is capable, and going in the right way. But I also advise him to take some medication, advised by the doctors.  He should take care of his general health as well.If something is wrong, he may attribute it to the mental health. When ever he gets some health problem, he should get advise by the physician.  He should have some money in hand, and you can have some supervision over it.  I advise him to practice, yoga,meditation, and some earning procedures, like internal decoration, internal gardening, or vegetable gardening.  You don't explain all this, let him read the reply, by him self, if he is convinced, it is well and good.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
