HI FOLKS

I am very happy to be here !! I am experiencing the time of my life and have just found out that I have been suffering from Attention deficit disorder (without hyperactivity) for last 20 years of my life.

This has raised the cloud of depression surrounding me for years. I am planning to start with Bupropion and Sulbutamine.

It this disorder curable or will it be a lifelong malady !!

OK so my husband and i were talking about depression and he asked why so many people in the US suffer from depression because in Mexico (where he's from) he says you don't here about people taking drugs like Zoloft for depression. I told him yeah because they drink there problems away! He said no it's just not a problem like it is here. So my question is do you think he's right or just talking through his butt?

My fiance is bipolar, and she's taking Topomax. Personally, I think she should be on something else, but that's not what this question is about.

She gets her medication from a free clinic, so we don't always have alot of pills for her. It's just not all that reliable, unfortunately. So she just takes 10 milligrams a day, in order to stretch them out.

I think she could really raise her success rate with these pills by upping the dose to 25 mg a day. At least until we can afford to regularly purchase her medication at a pharmacy...

So is 10mg even worth taking though?

Europe is becoming Muslim, because of lax immigration policies and much larger birthrates among Muslims (France is already more than 25% Muslim), and in the near future the United Nations will be an Islamic institution.

And while the majority of Muslims are moderate, everywhere you have Islam you are going to have jihadists who want to kill Westerners.

Iran, a radical Islamic state, is on the verge of having nuclear weapons, and we saw what 19 Islamic radicals with airline tickets did on 9/11.

So why do so many Americans have their head in the sand about the war on terror?

Islamic jihadists want Democrats to win this election and have stated as much. How can anyone vote for Democrats when they will do nothing but appease our enemy?

If you vote Democrat and should Democrats win this election, after Muslims take to dancing in the streets (the same way they danced after 9/11), how long will it take you to regret your vote?

(Now the idiots can accuse me of "hate," etc.)

I've always been depression prone and have only had one serious case a year and a half ago but it hit me again now.
My story: I am a really smart 16 year old kid w/ 3 AP's w/ A's and B's in them. But I'm extremely pessimistic, introvert; its really wierd though because I talk to a lot of people and am always going out, not the usual AP kid. Well, my whole life I've had to live with having no self-confidence. And it doesn't help that I've never had a boyfriend (but at the same time don't want one either). So it helps, a lot, when there is any attention on me or given to me because its like a huge self-esteem booster.
Well, last week, I went to a party, and there was this guy who I've had a crush for more than a year and we danced and hung out together. However, yesterday I found out that he thinks my best friend is super hot. Now, I don't like a lot of guys, but this hit my self-confidence so hard that its below zero right now, as if whatever attention he gave me that day ..(cont.)

Ok back in high school I used to be able to sleep for a short amount of time and still be able to go to school. Think like 5 or 6 hours averaged the whole school year. But, now that I'm in college and because my classes don't start until much later; I've been having this problem with just getting a normal amount of sleep. I try to get 7 or 8 hours now, but instead I feel bad when I wake up and it's actually really hard just to wake up if I wanted to, I always end up going back to bed for some ridiculous amount of time like 10+ hours. What the hell should I do? I'm not accustomed to this.

I am very depressed, sometimes feel very low. I become very irritating and sometimes, especially when I wake up in the morning, I get panic as well. My doctor has referred to me to the counsellor and I am waiting for the appointment.
1) Do think there could be any medicine that do not make me drowsy during the day time and that does not affect driving?
2) Is there any method to treat depression, anger, etc. other than medicines?
3) If you had gone through such problems in the past and been better, please let me know your suggestion.

Hey, everyone...
I've just come to what I feel is an important revelation re: my mental health issues--my biggest problem has been severe social anxiety (I see EVERYONE staring at me w/disgust when I go out) and not being able to "fit in" to any social group no matter what I do. But what I've found is that am simply desperate for meaningful social interaction outside of my husband,and I feel like I need it as much as, if not even more, than food or shelter. So when this need is not met, I have horrible mood swings and become angry, paranoid, and in despair--my house could literally burn down, or I could be without a dollar to my name, and I'd be *much*, MUCH less upset than if a random person on the street looked at me in disgust!

I feel that I need more agressive therapy, but my therapist (who I've been seeing for over a year) constantly takes the "it's their problem, not yours" approach, and even with this I feel that I'm still not more socially acceptable. What can I do?
