I DO care! I loves you! Don't listen to these retarded people who say they don't care. This is Polls and Surveys. We should all be caring. We are one giant family! And the people here who love to kick other people when they are down need to get their butts out! Please just remember that we all do care, whether we act it or not. Some of us are just a bit um, "Dim".

Studies indicate that depression may be effectively treated with psychotherapy, medication, or electro convulsive shock therapy. A new school of thought, Positive Psychology, provides some evidence that the cultivation of positive emotions and interpersonal strengths may be effective.

In recent years, the use of antidepressant medication has increased dramatically, particularly in the United States. These medications influence the functioning of neurotransmitters in the brain. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are reported to have fewer side effects than the older drugs, which include tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Some individuals will respond to one type of medication, but not another. All of these medications have side effects, and several SSRIs have been found to increase the risk of suicide attempts, particularly in children. [1]

Certain types of psychotherapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), have been found helpful for depression. Research indicates that mild to moderate depression often can be treated successfully with either type of therapy.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on changing how patients think of themselves and their experiences, focusing on their achievements rather than their failures. Although this type of therapy usually requires seeing a psychologist or counselor on a regular basis, research indicates that a free online program developed in Australia may be effective. [2]

In addition, lifestyle changes may reduce depression, including nutrition, exercise, adequate rest and spiritual practice.

Electro convulsive shock therapy is used for severe depression that is not responsive to other treatments. ECT has been improved in recent years. A muscle relaxant is given before treatment, which is done under brief anesthesia. Electrodes are placed at specific locations on the head to deliver electrical impulses, causing a seizure within the brain that lasts about 30 seconds. The person receiving ECT does not consciously experience the electrical stimulus. Several sessions of ECT are typical, generally three times a week. [3] The major risk of ECT is that it may result in some permanent memory loss. Also, some depression sufferers have been treated successfully with sleep deprivation therapy. But proof of the success rate of this kind of therapy isn't yet professionally confirmed.

More than 80 percent of people with depressive disorders improve when they receive appropriate treatment. [4]

In addition to these treatments, a support system of family, friends or a support group may be effective. Chinese Acupuncture and Herbalism have gained popularity in treating depression in the past few years, however they are still not widely used
