Hello khurram,

Hi khurran,

So therapy/counceling is not possible? If this is the case I would suggest antidepressants, either medical/chemical or natural/supplemental. If you can get wild ginseng root* in your area (herbal dealers and/or gatherers should be able to supply this root) at least eight years old, this herb will improve you overall physical constitution and your mental outlook. I've used the American variant of the root, both the cultivated 5 to 6 y/o and wild (last few days) types and the wild amer. ginseng's impact on improving outlook and stimulating awareness and mental energy must be experienced to be credited and appreciated.

Do you exercise on a regular basis? I ask because exercise produces natural endorphins which, while best known for improving and lessening your feelings of physical pain, will also improve you disposition. You're an educated person and I've got to wonder if you read for enjoyment because I often found that reading something I enjoy (fiction/novels for me) will produce a sense of being grounded and content.

There's lots more you can do and I'm sure the CCC (CareCure Community) will make more suggestions than you could enact in a month of Sundays, amongst which you'll find things that can/will work for you.

Whatever you do, keep returning to our forums and you'll be amongst friends who understand what you're going throught and will always be ready to share what their life's experiences have shown and taught them.

Again, welcome to CareCure.

American Ginseng is a true member of the ginseng family that grows natively in North America. It contains saponins similar to those found in Panax Ginseng (Oriental ginseng). However, American Ginseng is considered to be a Yin tonic herb, especially nourishing to the lungs, skin and stomach. American Ginseng is a powerful adaptogenic herb. It thus provides energy, adaptability and heightened alertness. It is especially appreciated for its endurance increasing capacity

WILD Ginseng is the most valuable and revered herb in the Orient. Premium-grade WILD Ginseng is the ultimate adaptogen, and is arguably the greatest herbal supplement ever discovered. In Asia, wild ginseng is considered to be far superior to ANY cultivated ginseng because of its extraordinary life-enhancing, health-promoting, mind-empowering, and protective actions. Wild ginseng builds vitality, increases mental focus, and helps one to handle huge amounts of stress. Wild ginseng significantly bolsters the immune system...

Note - The claims above are from the Dragon Herbs webstore, as retail source, and should be evaluated in that light.

HI friends,

Thanks for your very nice suggestions.I'll strive to find this herbal locally.Here in pakistan,such herbals're available but with indiginous names.u're right,exercise has very good impacts on me.it'd be better if u prescribe some food supplement to empower/strengthen/refresh brain etc.I'm handling a lot of mental work very easily.memory's working just normal.just want to get rid of depression bouts completely.thanks.

Do you have exposure to other people who are paralyzed in Pakistan as in social groups or sports groups? Sometimes being amongst people who understand can be comforting?

Hanging out on this site has anti-depressed me somewhat.
