Dear N D Fay,

Please excuse the lateness of my response to your posting to the CS news
group about your brother.  But, like your brother, I have severe
depression.

I'm sure the more experienced members answered your questions about CS.

My contribution is that it sounds like your  brother needs some type of
anti-depressant.  The right medicine can work wonders on restoring one's
energy, etc.  Sometimes the psychiatrist only has to try one or two to
get you feeling much better; and other times you need the patience  to
keep trying different medicines to get the one or ones that will work
for you.

Oh, if your brother should look for a psychiatrist to get medication,
tell him to find one that he feels comfortable with and trusts.  If he
gets one that "isn't right" for him, just keep looking.  Good
recommendations are always the most helpful.

Good luck and wish your bother good health

Sincerely,

Steve Crawford
