A world-wide campaign against depression has been conducted by several non-profit organizations (NGOs) such as Natasha Goulbourn Foundation.  The foundation is encouraging people with depression to heal in a natural way rather than automatically take medications to avoid serious side effects from antidepressant medications.

Just like a recent study about women suffering from depression has put their unborn children at risk when they take an antidepressant like Zoloft. Some women who took the medicine while pregnant are filing a Zoloft birth defects lawsuits against Pfizer, the manufacturer of the antidepressant, for the  birth defects.Alternative should have been given to avoid this kind of situations.

Recently, a report from Reuter’s states that talk therapy can be a good alternative to get rid of depression, however, some patients complained that the therapy’s sessions are too costly compared with the prescribed antidepressant drugs like Zoloft which is being covered by their health insurance.

To heal major depression, Zoloft is being used to prevent such illness which is considered as serious causing mood and physiological changes that interferes with the  person’s  usual daily activities.

 Depressive symptoms is the biochemical imbalance in the brain and considered also as a disturbance in the brain’s chemical messenger called neurotransmitters.

 Some will experience Zoloft withdrawal symptoms if a patient discontinues his medication right away.

The most common side effects of Zoloft includes nausea, diarrhea or loose stools, tremor, insomnia, drowsiness, and dry mouth while on medication.

Therefore, if experiencing the pain of depression, it is important to know when to see a doctor such as observing  one’s behavior and thinking for at least two weeks; when there is significant impairment of social and occupational functioning; if normal stresses of life do not explain the symptoms; and when rest and relaxation have not helped.

Women under Zoloft medication, who desires to conceive or has already conceived is advised to see their healthcare provider to prevent Zoloft birth defects which can lead to a Zoloft lawsuit.
