Q. I am a victim of infidelity and suffer depressive and suicidal thoughts. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your unbearable pain over the last one year.

First of all, I like to congratulate you on taking the very first but most difficult step which is seeking help.

Secondly, I like to share with you that there is no evil without a cure. I understand that you are not able to share but there is a definite need to have proper communication with your partner. Without having a clear communication the cure may be delayed. Please mind that with proper communication you can change the mind of your husband without causing any harm to your marriage.

Thirdly, I feel there is imminent depression which needs to be treated. I am glad to share that in the current era the depression is treatable to a great extent and there is no point in suffering with it. The treatment options include medications as well as psychotherapy. I think we can discuss the best treatment options for you during consultation. I often recommend medications as well as psychotherapy on the basis of need of the patient. Although, I do not have all details about your clinical symptoms but the available data indicate that medication will be a better choice for you.

I also feel that having a couple therapy can be answer for you provided you are not able to communicate clearly with your partner. In this therapy, the conflicts are resolved and couples are motivated for a constructive relationship.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
