patients get told that they must be patient for meds to work & this can mean waiting up to 20 years 4 relief. fact is, in physical medicine there's no such thing-if meds dont work rather quickly then this indicates a change needs 2 occur, not 2 continue along this avenue. this is so common in psychiatric care 4 a reason, & here it is:
they once had homosexuality as a mental disorder but took it out of the DSM manual in 1973-they finally admitted they'd made a mistake worldwide (imagine how many got pills, ECT, hospitalization for nothing)-- they admit this mistake on the famous mayo clinic web site(see link & sources at bottom of this). now in 2007, they've done it again with acute stress disorder which says that after 2 days if you're still in shock & very upset over having been a victim of a violent crime like seeing your whole family get murdered while you were forced to watch it then you have a "disorder" (as if being human is WRONG).

I know someone who is quiet,and keeps to himself,butwhen he opens up,he seems like he can converse in a variety of subject matter and seems well versed in the technicalities in whatever he's talking about,ie-(descrbes things in deatail and to a tee etc...)It's like he can mix and match with the best of people and can adapt to almost any person and can bring out the best in them etc...But he is also hot tempered and prone to anger out bursts etc.Poeple seem drawn and fascinated to him though.Reason?

I'm wondering... *This is sort of your opinion*. Do you think physical pain or mental pain hurts more? explain your opinion??

My 6 year old is on Adderall XR 30mg for some time now and it is not working and the doctor refuses to change to anything else. I know I need a new doctor but until then has ANYONE found a natural herbal remedy that may help in the mean time to get her off this adderall and on something that will put some sanity in her life and ours? Please help

This has been going on a long time and it is ruining my life. I actually dread waking up in the morning as I feel so terrible - it is like I feel I can barely get up, sometimes I try to take various things to make me feel a bit normal. I am trying not to take any addictive things as they work really well to make me feel normal and I know I cannot go down that path (eg pills for pain)
Does anyone know of any substance that I could take to feel better. My husband cannot understand it as he is a very happy morning person and he wants us to do things early in the day.
Sometimes I actually feel like I might have to give up as each morning is such a struggle. I am on an anti-depressant (Celexa) and have been for a couple of years. I also take ativan for anxiety. PLEASE, any way you can help me get going without so much anguish in the morning and even feel better throughout the day, I would appreciate your help so very much. I am truly desperate and cannot get a doctor right now.

How come we haven't heard about it until now?
Is it an acute onset?

Offing myself with pills that help you sleep, would that be something that she couldn't keep confidential? I was going to mention it today to my counselor but wasn't sure on how she'd react.

I feel totally empty. And although I HIGHLY doubt that I would do this, I was just wondering.

And no, I'm not gonna call some hotline to chat about it - that doesn't work...

Any and all help will be appreciated. ^_^

According to this page:
http://www.upliftprogram.com/depression_stats.html
4% of preschoolers are clinically depressed, and they are a growing market for anti-depressants!

Does this not seem outrageous? What's going on?

will my GP take me seriously if i go to see him about depression and anxiety? i know it sounds stupid, as both conditions are valid and need to be treated but I feel so stupid going to see him. I dont know what I will say and I am worried he will think I am just going through a phase, but what im feeling has been with me for over a year now and its affecting my life. I want to start seeing a councillor or a therapist but im a full time student-are there services available to me that wont mean running up a huge bill? thank you for your time x

I find this hard to believe after reading answers from a previous question I asked. How is this possible? I am single, always have been because of depression. I would never fall in love and put someone I care about in such a position, so they would have to look after me. How are you supposed to know when you have fallen in love if you suffer from depression anyway?

How do they go about treating mental problems so that they can come back into society healed. Is anyone really healed? Will anyone tell the truth about what goes on in those places? Does anyone KNOW?

Have you recovered from depression? Has anybody you know recovered from depression? Every time I get depressed I hate everybody, I hate the world we live in and just want to die. Relax, that is just how I feel, I would never take my own life. I am seeing councillor about my problems and I am on medication. I just feel really sick of having this for such a long time. How do you deal with depression? How do people you know deal with depression? How does it affect your lives?
