Just not coping with depression

[Paula]

Not working at moment as for some reason I just could not concertrate on anything
Doctor said I can't take any tablet because I take medicine for fits

Being unable to concentrate is a common symptom of depression, it’s certainly one I struggle with

Obviously I’m not a doctor, but I’d be surprised if all anti depressants and/or psychiatric meds are contraindicated with medication for fits. One drug I take (for pain and anxiety) is also used to treat epilepsy, for instance. However, many doctors prefer going down the talking therapy route first before trying ADs.

How did the phone call go?
