In my own experiences I have been depressed as far back as I remember. I do take medication and have a wonderful psychiatrist. I worked in behavioral health care for years. I know what it’s like and I hope people will reach out and be totally honest with another person they trust. Reach out to hotlines, educate yourself. I’ve become better. Breathe and be easy on yourself 🥰🙏🙏

Yikes- the guy crying in bed and the girl against the wall in the bathroom are entirely too relatable. Im glad im complying with my regimen...I haven't been in those states in almost 6 months but my diagnosis isn't MDD either. Hang in there folks 🙂

A lot of those other factors are known as co-morbid illnesses. If you have other illness with your depression, it is just going to make things harder, plain and simple.

I used to cry all the time so I talk out loud and try and stop. I have so many components of bipolar depression, that if I don’t try to stave them off, I’ll lose my mind. It’s a job every minute every second of every day and it makes me so tired. I can’t enjoy anything because I have to concentrate on making myself feel at least good enough to get up but I don’t stay up for long. I live in my room. I just can’t explain how I feel. I’m sitting in my living room but I don’t feel like I’m part of the room I’m sitting in the corner of my sofa and I feel that’s the only area that I’m in suffering.

I'm 30 and currently on my third major episode. It's been over a year and a half and I feel like I'll never get better. Although I did recover from the last two. I have to remind myself of that every single day; That I have beaten this before.

That’s what I’m going through now my anxiety and panic attacks and then dealing with Greg acid reflex

I live in a city with very few psychiatrists and have not been able to get treatment. I’ve decided to go without treatment and let whatever happens happens. The ironic part of this is I live in the same city as Dr. Marks who doesn’t accept new patients. She posts great videos but I can’t actually get treatment. At least I find the humor in it.

I have been diagnosed with depression a couple of months ago and I already had so many depressive episode in my life and use to go but since Jan 2023 my depressive episode is not going its getting worse day by day

Hi Doctor, can you talk about how to tell whether or not an antidepressant medication is working effectively and how to talk the doctor about it?

[rebeccabilly]

People with persistent depressive disorder (formerly known as anhedonia) don't necessarily have significant anxiety or a personality disorder, either.

Comorbidities can definitely be a causal factor, but it could be something like ADHD, chronic pain, or a chronic physical illness. Social and environmental stress are also factors, such as living with ongoing discrimination and bigotry.

And sometimes it's just how someone's brain seems to be wired, with no recognizable underlying cause.

That dude with the beard grasping at his head while in bed nailed it.

My Disorder is PERMANENT for 20 yrs with no respite. At 70 I am beyond hope. If i was a dog, the vet would put me down to stop the suffering. Incompetent doctors over last 3 yrs have sealed my fate now. Hopefully not long to go now til i will be finally be free permanently 😢

I have persistent ocd and believe me life sucks

[stevenkovler]

Mine is persistent because of the accompanying anxiety . This is due to being abused in my second marriage and my broken financial situation. Unless I can break the trauma bond and come up with the $200k in debt ahead of time left me in, I will never, ever heal !

[redlilly]

What does this kind of person look like exactly? This might be a dumb question to some, but I’m truly am curious.

Depression will kill me. Maybe soon. So tired

[theholisticdog]

Like if your life sucks and you perhaps owe people money and you drink loads of alcohol and or use drugs. This is also something that can keep it going.

Personality disorders are tacked onto everything these days.

If you're not a "type-A" personality, you'll have SOME personality disorder by 2030 😉
