Understanding Your Depression

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:28:59 +0000

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.

How to get treatment for depression without health insurance?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:27:15 +0000

I have a friend who I think is really suffering from depression and mania. I’ve known him since we were kids and he has pretty much always gone through cycles of highs and lows that I know are not normal. Lately it is getting really bad, he is abusing alcohol, making bad social and financial decisions, and pushing way the people who care about him. Last night I finally got him to talk to me about how he was feeling and he really broke down and said he thinks he deserves to die and would kill himself if it wouldn’t ruin his mom’s life. I think I can convince him to get some help but he doesn’t have any health insurance and is worried that he can’t pay for treatment. He could afford to go to a walk-in clinic but I don’t know if they can give him the perscription he needs. We live in northwest Arkansas… does anyone know of any resources he could use?

I would suggest getting him a cheap health policy before he goes for treatment. You may want to try a website that compares multiple companies at once to get you the best price. I am paying less than ½ after I did.

Can postpartum depression come on 5 months after giving birth?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:27:11 +0000

I have been feeling so down lately, I think I may have depression. I have never felt this way for so long in my life (i’ve been in the "rut" for over a month now). And if I do have postpartum depression, is it something I can see my regular doctor for or will I need to see a psychiatrist?

Yes, PPD is caused by hormonal changes in the body. This can occur for up to two years after birth. See your Ob/Gyn, and they can make a determination on whether you need psychiatric care or not.

Does anyone know a natural cure for Depression?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:27:08 +0000

I have been unemployed for about 10 months, not from lack of trying as I have been actively searching; I even tried local fast food places in which I was told I was over qualified. Well, my health insurance ran out and I am suffering from depression so my doctor gave me a prescription but I can’t afford to fill it just yet. I was wondering if anyone knows of a natural cure for depression, preferably one that does not cost a lot and won’t cause weight gain (I have gained 30 pounds since losing my job which only adds to the depression). The doctor even told me the pills she was giving me, Effoexor xr, can cause weight gain which I don’t see how you can end depression when you’re putting on weight, seems like that would cause depression.
If you know of a natural cure please let me know, I want my optimism back and I want to be depression free. Thanks

Honestly, in my opinion the best cure for depression is exercise. It creates all of those feel good chemicals that are in SSRI’s, without chemically adding them. PLUS, instead of weight gain, you LOSE weight!

I know it’s hard to just get up and do stuff when you’re feeling down, but honestly it’s the only thing that’s made me feel better when I’ve gone through bouts of depression. You could also try volunteering at a non profit, it will make you feel good about yourself and you interact with a ton of new people.

I know it’s not what you’re looking for, it’s not some magic pill to take, but living life as full as you can is honestly the best thing you can take.

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.

Are there any quick cures for Depression?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:26:51 +0000

I am tired of going from medicine to medicine and nothing working. Any ideas?

Find out why you’re depressed. Change your scenery, your life, your situation….obviously medication isn’t your answer.

If there is a chemical imbalance, try to change that. It could be you are not eating "live foods" stick to fruit and veggies, go organic.

Check out SAMe and other natural supplement. There is never a quick cure for anything. You can’t find that in a pill.

Get massage.
