Hi here,
I have a son in South Africa, he is 18 and has been finding the transition into manhood really really hard. He has been seeing someone in South Africa for his depression and she has phoned to say that he needs to go onto medication as he is having suicidal thoughts. This is all coming about because he has no girlfriends, he has no friends, he is bored, he cant drive a car like his brother, he cant do anything for himself and the sad list goes on. He is on Prozac one a day and I have been really worried to change his medication because some of there sedating effects. I also cannot get anyone in South africa to explain what Jarryd can and cant take. Can anyone advise me what tablets for depression, anxiety he is safe to to take and what to stay away from. He also takes a beta blocker and ace inhibitor daily and metformin for insulin. I would really love to get some help even if there is a website or a doctor i could email. Thanks Duchenne family Maxine from Sunny South Africa,
