Depression is a main problem now a days. Over 350 million people suffered due to this disease. I want to discuss your depression problems and find the best solution for all of us. Every one take part in this discussion and got fruitful results......

I want to discuss how someone who is only 23 got through medical school so quickly
how many grades did you skip to get through college, medical school, and residency so fast?

you must be a real Doogie Howser! Are you?

powell
was serious about wanting to know how you became physician by age 23

Everything is not always what it seems to be on the internet. It reminds me of the cartoon with a dog sitting in front of a computer, talking to another dog. He says "On the internet, no one knows that you're a dog."

And I made use of the pause here.

I had typed a rather snotty response and decided such a catty remark was not the best thing here.

I also would love to help others with depression. It can indeed be devastating, and CAN be managed without medication.

[amy40]

your're right kitty, depression can have serious consequences
and it still has a stigma but shouldn't

[amy40]

our community is starting to offer classes re drugs and also adolescents in crisis, etc

[amy40]

since a couple teens have killed themselves in our community over the last couple years, depression, bullying etc is definitely a problem so I think it is good that someone decided classes for the community would be valuable

[amy40]

and just as depression affects teens/young adults, it does seem to be affecting elderly more, too

[powelle]

the purpose of this discussion is to help the people who suffer due to depression..

[amy40]

find the best solution for all of us.

[powelle]

[atskitty2]

Pick any one?
Really?
Your belief is that just one of those will release a person from depression?

[powelle]

If you are consistent then you got results....

for a mother suffering from post partum depression, or an elderly person already taking meds for a serious disease (meds which sometimes even cause depression) or for someone cycling into depression who has bipolar:

postpartum depression-see your Dr, you may need to be put on meds
elderly people-see your Dr, your current meds may need adjusted and/or you may need an antidepressant
bi-polar depression- see your Dr, your lithium or current meds may need adjusted

if mildly depressed, exercise, eating heathy, counselling may all help but if it worsens, see your physician
keep in mind depression is a disease just like diabetes; do not be afraid to seek treatment
