Normally, I am a happy, upbeat person. However, During the last 6 months or so, I have been experiencing alot of the symptoms of depression. But, is it still depression if I know exactly why I am depressed, but circumstances prevent me from getting out of the situation that is causing me heartache? I know that if I got out of my current situation that I would be quite happy. So I am depressed, or have I hit a long term rough spot?

I'm not the type to go into rages and start hitting people, yelling, or throwing things. But sometimes I do come really close to doing those things. I'm not an angry person overall. Most of the time, I'm calm , laid back, likes to joke a lot. But sometimes, when stuff goes wrong, I get frustrated easy and my first resort is to blame people, and or say hurtful things that I don't mean. I don't know if this is a mental condition or if it's just the way I'm cut out. But I don't want to hurt anybody physically or mentally. Is it necessary to talk to a doctor about this?? Or can this be dealt with alone??

Autism is not a mental illness, but a neuro-biological disorder. But I'm not sure what category would be best for this question. I hope placing it here in the mental health section does not offend anyone. If it does, I'd like to apologize.

Ok, what exactly is the Combating Autism Act, and why are many parents of Autustic children, and many Autistic adults against it? Will this act find ways to prevent children with this syndrome from being born, or will it simply spread awareness about Autism, and provide treatment so that Autistics can function with more ease in society?

Would this also apply to people with Aspergers? Also, what will this mean for adults who have gone undiagnosed for years, only to find out at 20, 30, and older they have an autistic spectrum disorder? Will they be ostracized even more if Autism is eventually gotten rid of in the future? I'm confused and interested in hearing both sides. Thanks.

My sister used to be a straight A student, was deemed "gifted", and was a perfect angel. Now that she's in high school, she's fallin in with a really bad croud. She's doing weed on a daily basis, she drinks so much she puts herself into the hosipital. She steals money from family members and we found her cutting and burning herself at one point. My parents tried to get her to a doctor, she refuses to go. My mom has tried putting restrictions on her, grounding her for her behaviour and taking privledges away. My sister rebels. Now she has my parents wrapped around her little finger. Whenever she doesn't get what she wants...she threatens to move out. My parents are at all lose what to do. It's tearing my family apart.

I think she needs to either hit rock bottom or be scared into making changes in her life. I've suggested that they call the police the next she does something...but my dad says she'll just laugh it off with her friends.

Studies have shown that if 100 people joined AA today, only 2 would still be in there after 10 years (see: orangepapers.org) Those people are usually the most depressing people at the meetings, are usually chain smokers and are constantly drinking coffee. What has years of attending meetings and constantly telling yourself that you have a disease (with no cure) done to these people?

I would prefer a psychologist, rather than other mental health professionals such as licensed counselors, social workers, etc. Most of the psychologists I've found charge $150 or higher. Are there any who charge under $100 on a sliding scale?

I've been planning this backpacking trip since January. I spent money on new gear, shoes, clothes, backpacking food. I've made lists, plans, printed maps, researched everything. My wife and kid are on vacation and I'm home alone and just like every year I'm just sitting here.The bag is packed in the other room. All I have to do is get it, get the food in the fridge, load the car and drive three hours to the mountains. I feel sick with anxiety, guilt, worthlessness. If I don't do this, then why do I pretend to love backpacking so much? If this isn't what I want then why did I make all these preparations? What am I going to do for three weeks if every day I could be backpacking but instead I do nothing?

Didnt really think about it before but I am constantly checking out throughout the day. I get so into my head and whatever I am thinking about that I forget that I am at work or school or whatever. I am constantly trying to find a place that will calm me down. How can I learn to stay in the moment? Especially when I am constantly avoiding feelings. I want to let them all out so bad but they wont come out. I cant heal if they dont. I cant take care of myself if they dont come out. I know these things cant be rushed but Im losing the energy to hold it together. How do I get these feelings out ?!

I am 34, left handed, haven't read many books because I can't remember what I read and I work on PCs for a living and as a side business. If I have hands on experience with something I can remember it better. If someone tells me something one time, I will not remember it, no matter how focused I am. It is very frustrating and I've told all the people in my life to no avail.

I am a photography student that may be doing an MA (masters degree) next year at LCC. I want to make a photographic documentary on a person who has been affected by the use of cannabis and have developed psychosis because of it, or has helped in you developing the condition.

I understand this topics is very sensitive, but many of the people I know that use cannabis are reluctant in believing that cannabis can do any harm to you (they also disregard emphysema as a disease from cannabis use).

Thanks for your help

I came down with panic disorder during my last years in college. My parents were gracious to let me stay at their home, and I've been here for almost 10 years. I haven't been able to keep down a job, and I have mild agoraphobia. I live in a country where good support systems for PAD are non-existent, and the best meds are anti-depressants I don't care to try. I've recovered on my own quite well to the point where I don't get the attacks anymore (only when really stressed). But, I haven't regained the confidence to move out on my own. My parents are too polite to kick me out, but I can feel that they are hoping that I launch soon. What do I do?
