Depression?

[portentous]

That's why i dont like Zoloft and i've told the quack who wont change the medication.

I'd rather have the nausea and be 'sane' personally. Sometimes you just have to bear with it for the long term benefit you get.

Whilst suspended I kept a close eye on this thread and found myself agreeing with my usual enemies on this topic.

Murray knows what he's talking about, as does mantis.

nicky is being innocent in what she says, blunt, but innocent. Her heart is in the right place, but she's being insensitive and perhaps ignorant of some views or scientific facts.

PerthCrow and blangerang have the combined IQ of my dog (actually, kelpie's are pretty smart, that might have been unfair on my dog).

PC, you saying that Brittney's folks should "be shot" for allowing their 11 year old son to suffer from depression, an illness, is the equivalent of me blaming YOUR parents, and claiming they should be shot, for the fact that you're deaf.

That would be harsh, just as harsh as you're being towards Brittany's folks.

Depression is an illness, the very definition of it concludes there is a chemical imbalance in someone's brain leading them to feel depressed or suicidal with or without a stimulus to set it off.

It doesn't amtter whether your family was killed, whether you were r*ped, whether you're a billionaire playboy who shags supermodels all day, if you suffer from depression you are going to feel very low.

Being depressed on the other hand is something EVERYONE goes through at some point, and it's based on a stimuli setting off the feeling of being depressed. This is something that basically, everyone has to deal with, you shouldn't fight being depressed with medication. It isn't healthy.

But if you choose to not fight depression with medication, among other treatments, you are playing with fire.

Telling someone to 'just get over it' is about the most irresponsible thing you can do. you may as well hand a drunk driver his keys and send them on their way.

Fantastic read Rick. Well said and a great summary.

Aropax is a good one, it does however have the unfortunate side effect of highly delaying orgasm.....

but I've found if you don't take it within 10 hours of wanting to have an orgasm you should be pretty right.

Doesn't sound like an adverse side effect to me...

Since BF is full of intelligent people I have a query.

If someone thinks that they are depressed (i cut the bush in half and say me) yet doesnt want to see anyone to confirm it because of a lack of money and a lack of wanting to know the truth, what should this person (me) do?

If you were the full or half bush, then I'd say, go see your GP. They would be able to talk to you and see that if you were really depressed, you would have these symptoms for nearly three or more weeks.

They would also tell you of where else you could go to talk to other people about it.

The intelligence is not a part of it, there are plenty of people in denial.

Medication is only one step, and is not always required.

I have to now go back and read the rest of the thread. Good luck. Years and years and I still can't work out why I follow Hawthorn.

Why do some people deal with it better?

I am not a thief I am a kleptomaniac

I am not a druggie I am a substance abuser

I am not sad I have depression

He's a snooty Adelaide supporter. Don't give him drugs because he is allergic to mental illness.

Don't give him a snot rag because he doesn't want to blow his nose either

Yeah agree with all points.



My mum has depression but this occured back in Africa with all that going on there. She had to deal with a poor mariage with my father and constant bulltish from my fathers parents. She nearly starved to death because they wouldnt even feed her because they didnt like her. But my mum kept on feeding my sister and brother and took everything on herself.

Now she has been treated by doctors and everything is ok so far.


Good luck to all of you, and you Britz

My partner says she no longer experiences 'joy'. Just a constant numbness that's broken by pain.

It's heartbreaking.

I'm currently watching one of my very closest friends go through the exact same thing.
Seeing her like this is very heartbreaking for me to watch, and even worse, is watching her screw her life up, I knew her as one of the funniest, most happy-go-lucky and fun people I ever spent time with.
Now she's like a walking corpse, always depressed, permanantly three quarters asleep, never laughs, never shows emotion, seems to be going through life as she wishes it would hurry up and end.

I hate seeing her like this.
