Question about possible depression.?


Question:
Many people (adults) have suggested that I could suffer from depression. Is there a way I could find out without getting professional help?

Answers:
Baby girl, you need to talk to someone. Don't worry about your parents blaming themseles. I am sure they both love you and would rather know that you are getting the help you need. You need to involve a professional, especially judging by some of your other questions.

Start with the National Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

I am in therapy and on medication for depression and it has saved my life and made everything so much better.

There is help out there, don't be afraid to ask for help. Be strong, you will make it through this!

no. are you sad? do you have a decreased appetite and lack of interest in activities you once loved? if you said yes to all, get a therapist. If you think you are, you do need help. Even a counselor can help you figure that out. You must if people have told you this and if you are even questioning it. Depression can be serious. Bipolar can be more serious. You won't know if that is what it is without professional help. GET IT - it's worth it.


Come on, just talk to a Doctor about it. it's NOT Going to Kill You.


you could talk to a regular doctor, they diagnosed me with it, and wrote me prescription for anti-depressants, and "WITHOUT" the help of a psychiatrist, i was feeling better in a few weeks

well, if you feel down most of the time & can't get excited about any of the things that used to make you happy, then it is quite possible that you have depression. If it goes untreated you could end up much worse, and waste alot of your life. See a doctor asap and get some help. I would be a wreck without my medication. Some people are against it but they have obviously never seen the effects. Amethyst is my birthstone. I have depression and my regular doctor diagnosed me and I take prozac. You should do something about it; you will feel soooo much better.


You could go on line and research the symptoms of depression and do a check of that list. If you are experiencing two or more its likey you have depression.


Hi. You should definitely get professional help. But if you really feel you can't do that immediately, you need to talk to a responsible person, like a parent, school counselor, teacher etc. If adults that you know are suggesting that you may have depression, you should try to get some help.you will be happier and healthier if you do.

I've listed below a website with a printable questionnaire to determine depression. It's a very common thing and millions literally suffer from it. Don't be shy in speaking to your doctor about it as you would for a cold or any other illness. Good luck and there is much help available
