Understanding Your Depression
Loneliness is a part of our lives. We have experienced pain one way or another but after a few days, it subsides. We move on and find happiness again. This kind of cycle is not applicable for people who experience depression. For them, hope is non-existent. They just bask in their sadness and cease to move on.
Depression or Major Depressive Episode according to Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) is characterized by a feeling of emptiness, sadness, and irritation. People who experience this episode appear tearful or easily move to tears. It usually last for 2 weeks or more. Depression can easily recur if it’s not attended properly.
The effect of this disorder intensifies to a point that a person has trouble sleeping. Insomnia seeps in making it very difficult for a depressed person to recharge and relax. Hence, the symptoms’ effect intensifies. A significant weight loss or weight gain can also be observed. For some people, loneliness drives them to eat more, as a deviation for their feeling of emptiness. On the other hand, some lost their appetite due to their sadness.
The worst outcome of depression is suicide. This is the part where a person feels worthless that they would rather cease living. For the prior signs I’ve mentioned, its best to consult the experts for treatment. Most of all, for the state of suicide attempt. In this period, it really is the experts, such as psychologist and counselors who should take the lead.
For parents, teachers or guardians, being keen is a huge factor. One of the signs can be an indication of depression. To ensure the safety of children and the people you love, the mere attention can already alleviate the pain from depression. Sometimes, it’s the common question of “How are you?” that can save lives.

INSOMNIA!!???!!!???!!!!!????!!?
i can’t fall asleep at night and in the morning i feel sooo tired.
this may be because i can’t shut my mind off when i go to bed (at ten btw!)
give me your tips to fall asleep pleeeeaseeee.
thanks :]
(oh and my parents won’t let me have sleep pills so don’t bother mentioning that)
I was in the same boat – my brain would just NOT turn off! I kept thinking of random things – not worrying, just thinking. I tried about 5 herbal tablets and spent up big $$$ on them but they didn’t work. I ended up getting proper sleeping tablets from the doctor, though I know that’s not what you want to hear.
IMO, your parents shouldn’t rule out sleeping pills. You don’t go on them forever – only for a week or two so that your body can get back into the rhythm of going to sleep. It is a very bad thing to not get enough sleep.

What’s the best way to cure insomnia during pregnancy?
I’ve been suffering from insomnia during pregnancy for a couple months now and I want to know what the easiest way to cure insomnia during pregnancy is. I’ve taken those herbal remedies like Sleep-MD and they don’t seem to be much of a cure for insomnia. So what are my best options for curing insomnia during pregnancy?
Insomnia during pregnancy is usually caused by discomfort on the growing abdomen and stress from expecting a new baby. You can try several things from home to help you relax your body and mind like: taking a warm bath and lighting up some of your favorite scented candles, listen to relaxing music before bedtime, or even adjusting the room temperature to where you feel most comfortable. As far as removing the discomfort from the abdomen goes, I’d suggest going out and purchasing a pregnancy body pillow. It’s designed to curve with your body and give support so you should feel more comfortable and in return cure your pregnancy insomnia.
How to cure Insomnia if sleeping pills don’t work? But not using natural herbal remedies?
What happens if ya have insomnia and you don’t know what the cause is? If sleeping tablets don’t work what would be next? Could anxiety or depression cause insomnia?
I suffer from the same affliction, I tried a product called Sleep Well, its only in the states, but it worked for me.. check out their website for more info.
How do you treat intractable insomnia as Michael Jackson seemed to have?
Clearly, Michael was overmedicated and perhaps in mutual exhaustion his "physician" finally administered the propofol on top of everything else.
My question is – what do real doctors do to treat someone whose insomnia is unresponsive to medications – is this such a rare circumstance that it’s a rehab situation most of the time?
Clearly he had an addiction problem. Once you become that dependent on those types of medications, you need a much larger dose for them to become effective.
I don’t think this is as rare as people think it is. They would send him for a sleep study, find out what his brain is doing when he is trying to sleep, send him off to rehab as drug withdrawal is dangerous. Who knows if he had any other co-morbidity.
Propofol is NEVER given to someone just because they cant sleep. That is just insane. As well as off label usage of medication, it is necessary in some aspects of medicine. Certainly not this particular drug!
