How do you know if you have it. I have been given meds for depression, I have my first therapy appt. on Friday and I dont know what to expect. What if they tell me that I'm more than depressed? I guess I'm just nerveous. Any advise?

doctors are so quick to prescribe meds for people that just need to change their lives up a little bit.
they make money on your prescription.a medical doctor will prescribe drugs to ''help'' you and a shrink will tell you to come back for more therapy.
i started to take excellent care of myself.good diet
,excercise,got enough sleep and got away from toxic people in my life and was able to get off and stay off those nasty antidepressants and all their side effects.
i hope this message helps somebody rethink their solution for depression.

I don't know how to explain this but my memory has been affected. It all started with severe form of depression 8 yrs ago. The depression seems unbearable at times and gives me so much pains mentally. It feels like mental torture.
As if that is not enough, my short-term memory has been affected. I have trouble remembering things and I often forget what I just memorized. The sad thing is I am only 24.
I feel extremely desperate, depressed, and very sad. I wonder why I had to go through depression in the first place. Can anyone offer me advice?

I have spent so much time reading through amateur psychological diagnosis, and empathetic responses. I have been in and out of mental hospitals, seen people debilitated with clinical insanity. Why is it that in America people waste so much time insisting there lives are a wreck because of some special disorder..i.e. ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorders, Anxiety disorders, Panic Attacks, Chronic Fatigue, Fybromyalgia, Environmental Allergies, Super special allergies that make them somehow fragile, PTSD, PMS...blah, blah,blah. It's like people have nothing else to do but obsess about what is wrong with them, and why they can't live like "everybody else" and need special exeptions. EVERYONE has obstacles. Some much more valid. How come people can't suck it up and just live WITHOUT whining? Everybody sees sickness, tradgedy, death.....this is a part of life. Why has it become almost a competition...of people using some excuse. As soon as your answer starts with "But I'm really sick.." You are doing it

I suffer from anxiety disorder (panic attacks). Lately, although nothing bad happens, I feel like nobody likes me? Am I depressive? And, can panic attacks just stop if I drink water a lot, use B vitamine and exercise regulary?

I have been in my job far too long I could do it with my eyes closed (if I tried) Seriously, I am such a coulourfull person living in a dull black and white mundane world. It pays well for what I do however, it is the not doing that is eating me away. I have started an open uni degree but that will take five years. I need to get something to warm my blood now! I am a cairing, fair, freindly, hard worker who when gets the hang of the job does it to perfection! Trouble is I don't have many qualafications but what I have ever started I have accomplished as I am determined! Some one would be saved by me but I need the chance to proove my potensial! I have thought about sales, working from home,becoming a novelest, etc etc. I need a buzz not to huge an earning but good enough to pay the morgage but most of all be happy! I enjoy helping others and have expereince in this feild doing councelling courses etc but I would turn my hand to anything! Any advice on were I should turn I am lost!

I took a picture of myself today and I looked at it. I can't believe how extremely ugly & fat I am. Why is this world so fixated on looks? I don't believe in god but I feel like I'm being punished by life. Maybe I deserve to be. I'm not the greatest person in the world but I can't do anything anymore because I'm afraid to go outside. People will judge me! I just want to stay in bed and cry all day. Why do I have to be ugly?! Why do I deserve this?! I'm going to be a virgin forever because nobody even wants to be seen with me! I feel like I can't act seriously because people will just find it funny that someone so ugly & fat such as myself has problems just like the rest of the world. I want to diet but it's useless, I have tried but nothing works. I'm stuck like this forever and it pains me everyday. I can't deal with anymore. I don't even want to live anymore because everyday is pain for me! It's eating me inside like cancer and one day I feel like I'm just going to crack. :-(

I'm terrified because I've gained 22 lbs since March. I'm scared that nobody will recognize me, or that they will ask me about my weight gain. I know nobody will say anything, but I'm worried about what the students and professors will think. I go to a private university, so I know many of the students. I'm having so much anxiety about this, and I almost wish that I didn't have to go to school this fall to avoid potential questions. I hate who I've become.

I was on medical leave for bulimia last spring. My main fear is that when I see counselor at the student health center that she will question my problem, now that I am fat (I am allowed to return this fall on the condition that I meet with her for the academic year). I can't help but believe she won't take my problem seriously. What can I do to calm myself down? I am very worried, and I don't know if I can concentrate on schoolwork when all I can think about is how much weight I've gained. I can't stop bingeing...

smoking a couple of weeks back - I just have no cravings at all! Its great!! But my mum's a nurse. I'm a total hypochondriac!! I'm 19. And i'm petrified I have throat or mouth cancer....I was smoking for four years or just over...I had a kind of sore throat the other day, kind of felt like something was in my throat after I had dinner then it went after my friend prayed for me!!!! Anyway, how do i stop being so worried?? I had an aunt-in-law who died from bowl cancer a couple of months ago, she was 44 and I guess its just freaked me out SO much...its driving me mad!
