I take pharms every day and night to control abnormal and eccentric behaviors. I try and ditch the pills for one day and immediately headaches set in, followed by a few hours of the most disheartening of moods. I would like to believe that I should toss the meds and go on being myself. The problem is that I exhibit abnormal and sometimes phantasmic behaviors.
I only wish that I could participate in society without feeling like a souless, medicated, zombie-like person.

Well I'm back to these old questions. I've been going back and fourth with my depression. At times I think its gone but then it comes back. What should I do it seems that I can't get rid of it. I don't think I have the will power to get better and feel better and even stay better. I know the reasons why I'm so depressed but I can't seem to stop myself from going into it. I've done some rotten things to myself such as self harm. And it all comes back to my depression. I just want to give up and give in and say I'm done and maybe I should just stay depressed unitl it kills me. Should I just quit trying to find my happyness ever again and stay with my same old depression?

In an analysis of efficacy data submitted to the FDA between 1987 and 1999 for six of the most popular selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, 75 to 80% of the response to medication was duplicated in placebo groups.

This data was the basis on which the medications were approved by the FDA.


Placebo= sugar pill

I'm 26 about to turn 27 and I've been doing drugs for a long time .I've also gotten in to recovery and turned my life arround in the past .Unfortunately I relapsed and ever since It's been very hard for me to find find the self will and motivation to stay off them.I think its because I have no ine to really love me and suport me.I knopw I should do things for my self but it's kind of hard when I have no one in my life to love or support me emotionally.I know I'm getting ready to make the decition to turn my life arround since I am not getting any younger and my youth is passing me by,but how do I go about it?

I was diagnosed with, schitzo-affective disorder. And i told a few of my friends. And they didnt believe me until i showed them my Papers and everything.They thought that i was just trying to get attention, or trying to make excuses for why i was always missing from school,etc. But thats why i dont tell no one about it anymore,i dont want no pity.And im scared to tell people because what if they get scared of me and think of me different. But im a harmless person. oh yea,the reason for me asking this question is, im now in a relationship,but i dont know how to tell him or anyone else about my mental disorder. And i also want to tell a few new friends. Alot of people nowdays try and lie about them having illness' so they can try and act "crazy",but i am not lying. I Wish i wasnt diagnosed with it to begin with. ..But anyone have any advice?

I have been depressed for some time and I think I need some time to just think, I think I want to stay home from school and such so I can just lie down in my bed and think, but my dad doesn't seem to understand me, and he shrugs it off as if it was nothing, even halfly forces me to do things I don't want to do. I gave him the reasons for the depression, but he still shrugs it off. What can I do to make him understand how I feel?

I checked the symptoms for ADD online and the list matched my problems perfectly. I definately know I have a listening problem. I find myself trying so hard to listen and I can barely get info from it. I also find myself moving my legs involuntarily, I guess I feel comfortable constantly moving. Also I have a difficult time reading, I can never focus, I always trail off mid-chapter and the words become "blahs" when I read to myself. I can't focus on homework for very long and I can never study because I would get distracted by other ideas or I try so hard not to turn on my TV or go down and get something to eat but I always do. I cant help it. I also know that I have a family history of mental problems like alzheimer's and paranoid schizophrenia. Who do I go to to get a real diagnosis? Can I go to the Doctor where I usually get my physicals or should I go to a Psychologist

Is it possible for paranoid schizophrenia to somehow change into a different disorder like ADD or OCD from generation from generation? Since a child has both the mother and the fathers genes, is it possible to inhereit at least half of the disorder or some form of mental disorder?

I'm not clinically depressed; however, I am going through some severe family and relationship issues right now. Suffice to say these involve illnesses and the situation in Iraq. I usually am in very good spirits, but sometimes I don't know how to keep going on. I want answers past the typical "keep looking on the bright side" or "take a deep breath and distract yourself" fare. I want to hear something very specific and effective that someone has found that can boost my spirits when they're especially low. Thanks to all who offer advice.

Well, yeah, alot of stuff is goin on right now. See im here in Chile as a foreign exchange student, ive been here about 7 months without getting homesick, but right now my b-day is coming up, and its the first bday of mine away from my family. On top of that the girl back in the US who i really like is starting to forget about me, when she told me she wouldnt. On top of that, i play rugby, something that i really like to do, well, today was our 1st game, but i couldnt play, ive had a hurt knee for the past 2 weeks and i had to stand and watch everyone do what i had wanted and needed more than anyone, because physical activity is what clears my mind better than anything, but i cant do it. My host family is also starting to get on my nerves, just things that bug me about them. What can i do? How do i get happy?

Do you believe that Some children are labeled as ADHD because they don't get enough exercise because most parents these days are afraid to let them go out side alone with friends to just play all day. So instead they turn to video games and or the computer for fun.

I do believe that Some children really have ADHD but I have heard that now 1-5 children have it.

I look around and see that there is never or if little children out playing anymore.
When I was younger the streets and parks were filled with kids and now I take my son out and there is NO-ONE out playing.
It's kinda sad, But again I was just thinking maby children should just get out more and then maby the numbers for ADHD will go down.

What do you think?

Ive been recently diagnosed with Postnatal depression. Ive only told my Husband and Best friend. Should I tell my other friends for their support. I feel I'd be admitting defeat to the depression if I tell people. I think Im in denial?
