I am a 37 years old primary school teacher, suffering from depression for the last two years. There is a continuous feeling of sadness and worthlessness. I get easily tired and have lost complete interest in my household as well as school work, there are times when I feel like committing suicide (without any apparent reason). My sleep is disturbed and sometimes I just sleep for three, four hours at night; Also i have been told that I suffer from Depression Major . I have tried conventional anti-depressive medication, but its benefits were short-lived and were not without side affects. Please suggest a homeopathic treatment for depression major

Dear Doctor Sahib,
I am male of 55 years age. My nature of job is writing and typing since I came in job. At the age of 40 I noticed that my hand trembles while writing. Now the condition is that my hand trembles severly at the time of writing or signing cheques, filling proforma and particularly infront of strange people watching on me. When I become alone and write something the intensity of tremor remains very low while in office when boss calls me to write something I feel fear, nervousness and my hand starts trembling making it difficult for me to take dictation. My hand does not tremble while at rest. Hand trembles fastly while slow writing but not in fast writing. Doctor says it is essential tremor not Parkinson and is not cureable. I have used a lot of homoeopathic medicine prescribed by the Homeopath Doctors but no response. English medicines Lexotanil and Inderal (10 mg) works a bit decreasing the tremor for a limited period. Report of Thyroid test is quite okay. My weight is 79Kgs. Please suggest effective homoeopathic medicines at the earliest.
Thanks with best regards,

Dear Doctor,
I am 43 years., single. I am currently getting thoughts of hurting myself with knife only when I am using a knife for cutting or holding it. Earlier i used to get with needles but now i am not getting it so much.
I do know why this is happening. Few years back I had friendship with one girl, i shared with her all the things of my heart and was emotionally close. however after a one night affair , she started teasing me and later on she ditched me. she had seduced me. I felt very lonely and deceived and she threatened that she has photos of me with her and would show to my parents. There was lot of fear. At that time I did meet one doctor who suggested me to stop talking to her. It really helped and I became ok. But my habit of masturbation increased, which may be related to this rejection. And i have thoughts of her during masturbation….
this was 4 years back.
Other than this I am quite active, happy and creative. I am also currently looking after my aged parents who are in 70s.
It is only when i use a knife that i get thoughts of harming myself and sometimes of harming others.
Kindly suggest a remedy.
Thanks doctor,

My mother is 66 years old. My father was passed away last year due to liver damage. She is suffering from depression for past 1 and 6 months. She always takes simple problems into big issues which we can sort out by talking. The current situation is, We are very scare to talk to her. She is always taking every statement in negativeway. Sometimes she goes on crying when her mood is bad. She always thinks that no body is supporting her and she fights with us. She is gettying angry all of her kids/daughter-in-laws/grandkids. She stopped praying god by thinking that god has given punishment to her (as father passed away). We cannot take her to temple/doctor/park/anywhere as she refuses to come out. PLEASE advice me the medicine.
