Am in India where mental health is considered a joke. No hotlines or anything. I grew up in the Uk and there they take suicidal feelings very seriously and have many hotlines.
I may add Lithium although it hasn't worked for me in the past. Zyprexia is not an option because of TD risk which I developed with Geodon.
If push comes to shove I may go back to London to my old psychiatrist who will hospitalize me and monitor things.Thanks for your concern
