R.S.V.P. She just doesn't respond to things. No interest. No energy. Discouraged. It may be mild depression. She needs help… and she needs it now. Counsel and reassurance may suffice. But if you decide supportive medication is indicated, Ritalin can offer prompt benefit. Ritalin usually begins to act with the very first dose… boosts spirits and brightens mood…helps the patient get moving again. And Ritalin is generally well tolerated, even by older and convalescent patients. However, Ritalin should not be used for severe depression. When Ritalin works, one prescription may be enough… to help provide an answer to mild depression. Ritalin helps the patient respond in mild depression. |
