depression ( Archived) (45)

Bless you for that piece of common sense. I have worked with people with mental illness for many years now and have seen what effects some of the "so caled natural remedies and self help advice" can do to people who are really ill in a chemically imbalanced way and how dangerous that becomes for vulnerable people.

I would advise anyone not properly trained in diagnosing psychiatric illnesses to refer those who need help to the care of those who are qualified to diagnose and treat them.

I have witnessed suicides and worsening of illnesses from ill advised advice.

and I can't accept it.

Does it "tress" you out?

Have goals in live helps you look beon it

So you are saying if I "accept" that my life is sh-t! that means I am cured??

Some people don't really understand about depression. For example, they may react to a depressed person's low energy with criticism, yelling at the person for acting lazy or not trying harder. Some people mistakenly believe that depression is just an attitude or a mood that a person can shake off. It's not that easy.
Doctors who treat depression distinguish between two types of depression. They call the more severe, short-lasting type major depression, and the longer-lasting but less severe form dysthymia.
A third form of depression that doctors may diagnose is called adjustment disorder with depressed mood. This diagnosis refers to a depressive reaction to a specific life event (such as a death, divorce, or other loss), when adjusting to the loss takes longer than the normally expected timeframe or is more severe than expected and interferes with the person's daily activities.
Bipolar disorder (also sometimes called manic depressive illness) is another depressive condition that involves periods of major depression mixed with periods of mania. Mania is the term for abnormally high mood and extreme bursts of unusual activity or energy.




After your situation is under control, look at some of the alternative therapies and see whether you could use them as a way to reinforce what you are taking. Because of potential interactions, discuss with your physician before you begin taking any herbs.
