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

Dr Sharma,
I dont know what to do to help my husband but i fear he will hurt himself in a matter of time. We married after only dating a month. Shortly after, i learned the truth about him. He was brutally raped at a young age, resulting in him beating his attacker unconscious or possibly to death. His mother was addicted to crack and cocaine and abondoned him on the streets of philadelphia. He also was charged for his girlfriends murder, involuntary manslaughter, and served a few years in prison for this and also several years in prison for drug sales. During his stay in prison he has made 2 attempts to take his life and has now started to secretly use cocaine for comfort. I had no idea this man was hurting so deeply as he appeared to be so normal, upbeat, and motivated. I now realize what a dangerous situation i have put myself in but i do love him and feel compelled to help him. I have witnessed my husband make great strides to change his life and be a productive citizen in society as well as be a great father and husband. He has a natural charm and people are instantly drawn to him. When i try talking to him about getting help, he is defensive and argumentive and denys the drug use. I am completely mortified and i fear for his life.
