Use the moto, "Strive to suceed" Really? So the demonstrated hormonal and neurochemical imbalances that occur in a whole selection of mental health illnesses are just caused by giving up? Where is your medical degree from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I find that depression doesn't come just on it's own. When I'm suffering from a bout of depression I find I have anxiety and ocd symptoms as well. I found tablets worked to varying degrees but not completely. I've just started counselling due to suspected Body Dysmorphic Disorder and am finding it really hard at the moment. I'm hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that I've taken the first step to take control of my life and feelings (easier said than done). Depression in its varying forms is awful and I really feel for anyone going through it. I found that the tablets that produced some positive effects did so at the cost of huge side effects that I just couldn't live with, and the ones that didn't have the side effects didn't do anything positive either. The key to me dealing with and learning to both live around and limit the effects of the depression that I struggled with intermittently was finding a good counsellor who uses methods that I can work with, and committing to going to weekly counselling for a year to gradually go through everything. Counselling only when you're in the hole is a great thing because it helps you to get out of the hole, but it doesn't prevent you from falling into the hole next time, and the fear of falling into the hole can in some ways make that fall more likely. Counselling to work on my basic issues, develop coping skills and strategies to help myself not fall into the hole in the first place- now that was handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 What can people who don't suffer from depression do for people who suffer from depression? Understand that is true illness, which can be very debilitating and not pass it off as some whimsical state of mind thing. Just understanding the illness would go a long way Btw... none of the above was aimed at you personally. Just answering the question in general terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Sidney Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Most people at some time have periods when they feel sad. Depression isn't like this in my opinion. Its more than that, its in our body's chemistry...You either get it or you don't. I'm no expert but I feel depression doesn't need a trauma to start, although it can help a bout...It can come at any time, even during periods when everything seems to be going well. There are no "types" of people that suffer either. It's not a weakness, its an illness. You can't (or struggle) to pull yourself together, this advise isn't much use and seldom works. Its like asking someone with a sprained ankle to stop limping.. Anyway, to end with a joke... Q What's an advantage to Major Depression? A You never have to make your bed, because you're always in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
