That's dj1470 in a nutshell.DJ......you truly are a scumbag....what a flippin moronic thing to say
He started off just being an idiot in the Sports forum but now he's inflicting himself in other areas as well.That's dj1470 in a nutshell.
Good to know, Thank you.While all the signs/symptoms that 4tees has pointed out are common signs of depression, they tend to be more often associated with women who are suffering from depression than with men.
While women, when depressed, tend to feel hopeless, worthless, and to lose interest in their work, men on the other hand tend to feel irritated/frustrated, work excessively, and to display aggressive behavior. Some in the medical community suggest that the different symptoms diplayed by men who suffer from depression is one of the reason why it is often misdiagnosed (or not disagnosed), because their symptoms (such as agressivity) tend to be seen as men's normal way of dealing with stress. Of course, this doesn't mean that all men suffering from depression will disply those same symptoms: but aggressive behavior is one of the more common signs of depression in men.
Major depressive disorder is indeed a medical condition. Not to say that something organic such as a GI bleed for example, among numerous other things, could be a cause of this poster's symptoms. Exercise can certainly be beneficial in enhancing mental health, but really, none of us should be diagnosing and suggesting anything other than the OP seeing an MD ASAP. Mental illness is medical illness...contrary to what Tom Cruise might believe.Some have suggested getting a physical and I think that this is an excellent idea. The depression could be related to a medical condition. I remember a case that we worked on of a guy who felt a little lethargic and weak. He was lacking energy and was feeling overwhelmed. After a set of blood tests it turned out his white blood cell count was in the normal range but high normal - and higher than his last physical. The attending physician concluded that he was bleeding somewhere and finally identified colon cancer - with no additional symptoms. A quick operation and all was fine. 10 years later he is still fine.
This is not to suggest the OP has cancer - just that a medical issue could be an underlying condition causing or contributing to the state of depression.
Another suggestion is cardio-vascular fitness. Is the OP physically fit. In his book "Spark" John Ratey - a psychiatrist- wrote a chapter on depression and the benefits of running. He outlined in detail how it affects the brain.
Finally meditation and yoga could be of benefit.
Others have made great suggestions in this post as well. The important thing is that the OP reaches out. Do not ignore how you are feeling and seek help
This is a scam. You're not going to get well by taking a concoction of vitamins, sorry manthis looks promising too. http://www.truehope.com/default.aspx
Which gets back to the point...see a doctor. They can rule out, or deal with, a vitamin deficiency that would cause depression like symptoms - or other disease. Although the vitamin/mineral deficiency is a long shot it is worth ruling out. As are some other physical ailments.oh ok so besides sniffing feet you are also a qualified neuro-scientist? how on earth can u know for sure that some illness mental or otherwise is not due to a lack of minerals and vitamins relating to body chemistry? gotta love a fucking know it all. so helpful.....
