What Can Be Done About Depression

There have been several classes of drugs that have shown clear efficacy in treating the symptoms that define depression. All of these drugs have something in common. They all affect the action of one or more of a few neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. Although these transmitters are closely related to each other and, in fact, convert from one to another, they stimulate somewhat different receptor sites in the brain. It appears that increasing the responses of the receptors to these transmitters has effects on many of the symptoms of depression. Different transmitters affect different symptoms,

Opening Up About My Depression

About Half a Life Lived with Mental Illness I would imagine there are some four-hundred pages. My files are in two large yellow envelopes, sitting in a stack of other important documents near my desk. Just a few months ago I got on the phone and called all of the various hospitals where I had been treated at for my mental illness. I requested all of my treatment records. So far, the records I have are just in-patient records –glimpses of personal crisis and my hospitalizations. I’ve glanced at them. I’ve made a note of how they appear. I haven’t

Public Speaking Anxiety

Scientific studies show that the most common form of Social Phobia is Public Speaking Anxiety. This phobia translates in an irrational panic of public speechmaking or oral presentation. Its symptoms are as much physical as they are psychological and range from a shaky voice to cold hands, dizziness and a rapid heartbeat among others. The same studies showed that most people suffering from Public Speaking Anxiety tend to have a low level of self-esteem. Many psychologists agree that one factor is responsible for the other but a satisfactory conclusion was never reached and we can continue to debate this problem

Depression Isn’t for Sissies

When reading the statistics that women are twice as likely to be depressed as men because of various hormone changes throughout their lives and added stresses involved with raising a child alone, it’s no wonder why I hit rock bottom.

Do you or someone you know battle with depression? This question I’ve often heard asked on info commercials for various anti-depression medications, or even in regards to a medical facility that is being advertised. However, something that is often neglected to be mentioned within these commercials and various advertisement literature is the fact being often severe depression is not the problem of just one individual.

I’m not complaining about that, mind you, but it does get a little lonely around here. It’s been a more difficult transition than I expected. I thought I would be ecstatic about the preschool years being finally behind us. Instead, I find myself feeling sad and a little lost.

Coping with Social Anxiety

For those of us suffering from social anxiety on a daily basis, we tend to look for ways to cope with this debilitating disorder.

How Anxiety and Stress Can Lead to Dangerous Weight Loss

Anxiety is a psychological state that everyone must face at some point in their life. When a person is suffering from anxiety, they may become anxious, their heart rate may increase, and they may add extra, unhealthy stress to their life. People who suffer from chronic anxiety may also suffer weight loss, which is triggered by stress and a lack of appetite. We’ve all felt the effects of anxiety. Our hands become sweaty, our heart begins to beat rapidly, and our thoughts begin to race in our mind. The stress that these effects can have on the body may also

Why Depression Can Be Good

The Characteristics and Real Benefits of Depression Forget the old ‘wisdoms’; depression, like all other human functions, serves a very useful role in the human experience. Emotional pain characterizes the depressed condition. Like its physical counterpart, emotional pain is the result of a negative stimuli acting on the individual; like a hand that touches a hot pan and pulls away, the psyche that is hurt by an event indicates a pulling back, a rethinking of one’s actions. Pain focuses the mind. With it, any other feeling, any other emotion is pushed aside. The object causing one’s pain must be addressed.

Depression has a lot to do with what you think, that is, what you tell yourself about yourself and about life’s incidents, problems, and even life’s bonuses. What you tell yourself impacts your feelings, your mood, your behavior and sometimes even your health. “But,” you say, “sometimes life really does stink.” Yes, but the reality is, how you interpret those “rotten” things in life is what determines your mood, emotions and

As one who has suffered from depression for several years now, I have done thorough research into this debilitating and often frightening disease. This article intends on sharing tips with anyone who suffers from this painful disease. And yes, it is very painful to have depression, it is very isolating and a lonely way to live!

Anxiety, the Experience

Advice from a Anxiety Sufferer Seven years ago I was diagnosed with G.A.D (general anxiety disorder), when one day I was getting ready for school and had my very first panic attack. My mind raced with the thoughts of getting on that smoggy, crowded school bus, which I rode for an hour everyone morning. My breathing became fast, my heart basically pounding out of my chest. I felt dizzy, and couldn’t stand up right. My legs felt like rubber, and my chest started to tighten. Not only did I have anxious thoughts about the school bus, but now I was

Depression in Men and How to Avoid It

As I start writing this microscopic glimpse into my so called life, I am left wondering how the heck I managed to stay married to the same woman for the past 16 years. I must admit that it is a milestone that only few oldtimers could achieve. If you happen to meet someone with the same record, ask them if they were very happy throughout their life together. For the most part, our life together was great, we were destined to be together, after all we were soul mates. We even carried the same birthday, but 3 years apart. At

Your heart is racing. You feel smothered and anxious. It feels as if you are fighting for every breath. Think you are having a heart attack? Think again.

A Crisis in the Twilight Years Most people would agree that wisdom and experience go hand in hand with age – but unfortunately, there is a downside to the twilight years. You may have guessed it – we are talking about elderly depression. Although several million Americans are affected by depression in later life, comparatively few are appropriately treated for the condition. This is possibly because the symptoms of elderly depression are often misconstrued in combination with the symptoms of other age related conditions. Consequently, treatment may also not be up to the mark. Elderly people often have to cope

Depression Depression as a primary disorder is a common ailment that is probably getting far less attention than it deserves when viewed against its propensity to weaken our general wellbeing. This may not be far from the private nature of the ailment that decimates the soul without stirring any confusion or unease beyond friends and relatives who are close to the sufferer. And sadly the risk appreciates with age, which means at the time the physical being is waning, the mind accompanies it, an unsettling reality for those still bubbling with the steam of youth.

People need to be more open and admit that depression is disruptive to their daily lives, they are then more likely to acknowledge it as a very serious problem that requires treatment rather than something that will go away by itself.
