Find the root cause of your depression. Much depression is caused by learning disorders, other times it can be biochemical imbalances in the brain. The most important thing is to find the cause before any therapy can be effective. A skilled person can ask a series of questions and help to identify the cause, but it take some in-depth probing to discover where the feelings come from.

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.
Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.
Depression Free Method?

Tbh I felt exactly like this for a month and i had to see lots of humans earlier than I subsequently obtained diagnosed with despair. They gave me anti depressants which i have been on for for approximately 2 months 2 weeks and so they've actually only simply began working. The earlier you see a surgeon and get it identified, the earlier you're going to be back to traditional. I'm hoping that you do see a health care provider and get higher soon - keep in mind to hold smiling and there is a mild on the finish of the tunnel :) good luck x

I'm sorry...I know what you're going through. I believe I have depression and my friends don't understand why I get depressed for no reason at times. Usually what I do is to make sure I have plenty of time to be by myself so when I'm actually with my friends I can be more fun and such. If you're friends are getting irritated because they think your depression is just an excuse, they're probably just worried about you. You might want to really sit down with them and ask them why they won't help you through this and what they're thinking. I did this with my friend and we talked fo over an hour...she tried to get me to go see a doctor or my counselor, and that's what real friends do. They try to help. So if your friends are blaming you instead of trying to help you, maybe you should find some friends who will support you.
Also, I agree with the other comments. You should be taking an anti depressant that better controls your depression (unless you just started taking it...I think it takes a few weeks to work itself into your system...)
Hope that helps

there is always something wrong when you have depression whether you don't like the weather or you had to go somewhere you didn't want to....i too am depressed a lot of the time and i am prescribed zoloft which helps soooo much. i have tried here and there to take different anti-depressants, but i never believed that they worked until i actually took this one regularly. i stopped taking it when i was pregnant, but defintely started taking it as soon as i could. it makes my life problems so much easier to deal with and i cry about everything when i'm not on it. also dealing with really serious situations is a lot less stressful and helps the thought process out a lot more instead of just summing everything up to being depressed. it helps you care and makes you motivated to get out and do things. surprisingly i might sound like a commercial, but this is my advice first hand and i wouldn't want it any other way in my life so take what you want.

Deppression is either genetic, brought on by an event or change in your life or just a turning point for some people. I went through a serious deppression last year and I'm 15, I couldn't go outside, hang out, all I did was stay to myself and my family and talk to my bestfriends over the phone. It's a serious and sensitive issue. I'm still going through it but I'm trying to pull myself out. It's scary when you feel like you're alone and stuck in a place you don't want to be, but it's all in your head. Deppressed people aren't able to see the world the same way other people do, just let your friends know the truth and if they don't understand, that's too bad. It's pretty hard for people to completely relate to something that they haven't experience. =] Good luck!

Unless they have experienced it for themselves, they will never understand how it is you can feel sad for no reason whatsoever. Don't try and look for a reason for feeling low but know that however bad you feel, it will pass though it may take a while. Your friends are probably concerned for you..this can make you feel worse if you know people care and you still feel down. Medication will help but I would try and ride it out. If they are your friends they should try and understand why you feel like this at the moment. You have clinical depression and external factors have nothing to do with it.

Nobody knows what depression is like unless you live it. They can't understand....especially as a young person. We know its not an excuse. But as a healthcare provider, I am more concerned that your medication is not correct. Your depression is not being controlled. You do not have to live this way. We have the medication to let you live a full and happy life with this illness. I believe you need to talk to your healthcare provider soon and let them know how your medications are working for you.

I am sure your Doctor has you on medication and it may take a while for you to feel better. If not, then discuss it with him/her. There are many good medications to help, but sometimes it takes a while to find the right one. We are all so different. It is O.K. to feel sad at times, but tell yourself that this isn't going to last. Do good things for yourself, eat healthy and if there is one thing that has helped me, it is to exercise. I try to walk a lot. As far as your friends are concerned, they may never understand, but those of us who have this in common do understand. Good luck

Probably the reason you get sad or mad is that you may be bipolar. Lot of people get this is that they have some kind of problem.Try this : every time that you have a problem make a list on the POSITIVE things that will happen.Don't think of the bad things think of the good things.GOOD LUCK
