Depression stress

In depression (primary) or secondary cause( inflammation, medicine drug withdrawal, migraines, headaches), low nutrition etc, is there any death of brain cells? As one online resource was saying that inflammation causes depression and leads to loss of brain cells. Is there any loss of brain cells in stress, anxiety, depression? Yes or no? Reversible or irreversible? Rtms and psych meds cause any harm? Loss of sleep due to neurotransmitters imbalances for any reasons, causes loss of brain cells(any)? Please guide correctly. In physiological stress and mental stress, breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Does this cause any neuronal loss or damage due to less oxygen or brain maintains oxygen? Please let me know. Stopping of psych meds causes serotonin to drop and causes headaches. Does this reduce blood supply to the brain causing any memory issues or no?

Migraine, fever, while breastfeeding

Hey, My name is Shibani Manohar, 36F, mother of 4month old, who is currently breastfeeding. I have a history of epilepsy since childhood and I am on medications for it, taking levigress 500 (1-0-1). I got terrible headache / migraine 2 days ago and took vasograin containing ergotamine tartrate and caffeine tablets (1mg+100mg) one on june 1st night, then june 2nd night and today morning june 3rd. I also felt feverish due to overexhaustion yesterday and took a crocin 650 yesterday night (june 2nd) and today morning. Later I checked on the net that vasograin is unsafe during breastfeeding, but I have already fed him after taking the tablet. What measures can I take now to keep my baby safe? Also I feel I am having pain in my throat. What medication can be suggested for migraine and fever for a breastfeeding mother? Please help.

Astigmatism, Development Delay

Hi, My son is around 3 years old and has a development delay. For a few weeks we have noticed that he put pressure on one corner of the eye with finger and then moved his both eyes to one corner and focused on objects which are little far. We visited the paediatric ophthalmologist today and he told us there is refractive error in both eyes and the dilated eye exam needs to be done after that he will be prescribed the number. Also, My kid had Dengue Shock Syndrome when he was 4-5 months old. How much do we need to worry about refractive error issues? Does he need to wear spect's lifetime? Does Dengue Shoch Syndrome have anything to do with this refractive error or my child's development delay? Also, he has some redness in the eyes, so the doctor prescribed moxicip d, moxicip, pataone eye drops for one week. Are these safe? And Does both adults and children both have the same drops?
