How do you know if you suffer from depression? |
Issue I think i might have depression but im not sure.....i feel very down, and sometimes i just want to cry......i know it started when i was at work..i had a really really bad day and i just put it down to that, but the feeling wont go away and now i dont know why i feel like crying. I also seem to be very emotional at the moment, and tiny things can bother me..were as they didnt before. Any ideas? Best Tip why dont you see a councellor and get a few things off ya chest? im pretty much like that,i have good days and bad and its amazing how much my moods vary.hope things work out for you sweet knicks! x Others please talk to your doctor about it. they have celexa and other medications that make an incredible difference if you are diagnosed with it. I think the fact that u r asking may indicate that u do not have depression. Very easy to internalise things, you will get analysis paralysis. There are many symptoms of depression as it affects people differently. Some of the most common are changes in appetite and sleep patterns, inability to make decisions and constant feelings of major unhappiness. Visit this website for all the information you will need: www.depressionet.com.au. There is also a forum there which you will find very welcoming and supportive. If you are having any suicidal thoughts, get to a dr immediately, and try not to be alone in the meantime. Sounds like you might be headed that way. Nip it in the bud and get some counselling now (ring the Samaritans, they're always good for a random moan), or visit the doctor. Also, you could make a list of all the things that are bothering you right now (and I mean EVERYTHING), then think of ways you could change the situation. For me, I hate being plied with drugs when I know the simple answer is working out what's wrong in my life, then sussing out how to sort it. Also, if you can have a break away for a couple of days to clear your head, it might do you some good. Mood Disorders Mild-to-Moderate Depression According to the DSM-IV, mild-to-moderate depression-termed dysthymic disorder-is marked by milder signs of depression than major depression, but the signs of depression are prolonged and protracted. Dysthymia is characterized by depressed mood for most of the day, on more days than not, for at least two years. Additionally, a diagnosis of dysthymia requires the presence of at least two of these symptoms of depression while depressed: poor appetite or overeating trouble sleeping or over-sleeping fatigue, loss of energy, or tired all the time low self-esteem impaired concentration and difficulty making decisions feelings of hopelessness and helplessness Learn more about the signs of depression by taking the RealAge depression test. http://www.depression.realage.com/... |
