  It has been my experience that getting someone to admit that they are depressed is the hardest part, so how you would even get someone feeling like this to take a look at any of these websites kind of goes beyond what I would know what to do. I have kicked and screamed at friends before that they need to get help, but until they are ready to see that for themselves then it is almost impossible to get them to act. I know that my approach is probably not the best but sometimes you just get so frustrated that it’s hard to know how to react.

  having been through a depression episode in the past,I can say with confidence that any form of help is welcome.but more so in the form of forums.when a depressed person is able to interact with others and can air his/her grievances that serves a lot more help than say reading a help article.

  all the sites and people behind them working to help those with depression should be commended.it is a great service what they are doing and thank you for bringing a collection of such great sources.

  I actually looked at a few of these and thought that they had some really great resources to offer.

  Then again, I am not depressed and they make perfect sense to me.

  So maybe if I was a friend or a family member of someone struggling with this this would at least give me something to show to them and help them realize that there can be hope and improveemnt in their future.

  @Archer:Thanks to your comment,I just had a great idea!Because it can be so hard to actually make use of and fully make sense of any resource when one is depressed,why not acquire a little bit of knowledge now?!I shall read more about depression because I tend to feel low quite easily and the things I can pick up may help me in dealing with those situations.

  Also,it can make for some very good advice to someone who is actually depressed.Will be better for them to hear from someone they know rather than to read it online too.

  Depression is something which can be best handled on a personal level. All this does not mean that one should leave a depressed person but the idea is to make him realize hat there is nothing like depression in this beautiful world. So if you are concerned regarding the person do not let the concern come at your face , act as if everything is perfectly fine.

  I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing issues with your blog.
  It appears as though some of the written text in your posts are

  This may be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
  Appreciate it

  Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in the United States, affecting more than 16 million men and women (almost 6.7 percent of the adult population) and 3.1 million adolescents. It is a serious mental illness in which feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest, anger, frustration, or other negative emotions like irritability (especially in adolescents) last for weeks or years and interfere with daily life. All people experience moments when they feel sad or blue, but these feelings usually pass within a couple of days and are not indicative of depression. According to EverydayHealth depression can cause deep emotional pain both to the person experiencing it and, often, to that person’s

  We have all felt stressed at work. There are those awful days when everything seems to go wrong, when miscommunication is rampant, and you just can’t seem to get along with a boss, employee, or colleague. People are always getting their buttons pushed in the workplace because it becomes our second home and we tend to replicate family dynamics and relationships that mirror those with parents and siblings. It can be aggravating and upsetting.

  The main medical treatment for depression is antidepressant medication. There’s a lot of misinformation about antidepressant medication and while there is no simple explanation as to how it works, it can be very useful in the treatment of moderate to severe depression and some anxiety disorders.
  If you’re experiencing moderate to severe depression your doctor may prescribe antidepressant medication, along with psychological treatments. Antidepressants are sometimes prescribed when other treatments have not been successful or when psychological treatments aren’t possible due to the severity of the condition or a lack of access to the treatment.
  People with more severe forms of depression (bipolar disorder and psychosis) generally need to be treated with medication. This may include one or a combination of mood stabilisers, anti-psychotic drugs and antidepressants.
  Always use doctor prescribed meds.

  Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, or the way the body uses energy. If thyroxine levels are low, many of the body’s functions slow down.
  I will also suggest to take consultancy and take prescribed meds only. Meds are easily available at online store like amzon, healthkart or mygenericpharmacy.

  Depression can affect anyone—even a person who appears to live in relatively ideal circumstances.
  Biochemistry: Differences in certain chemicals in the brain may contribute to symptoms of depression.
  Genetics: Depression can run in families. For example, if one identical twin has depression, the other has a 70 percent chance of having the illness sometime in life.
  Personality: People with low self-esteem, who are easily overwhelmed by stress, or who are generally pessimistic appear to be more likely to experience depression.
  Environmental factors: Continuous exposure to violence, neglect, abuse or poverty may make some people more vulnerable to depression.
  Brain chemistry may contribute to an individual’s depression and may factor into their treatment. For this reason, antidepressants might be prescribed to help modify one’s brain chemistry. These medications are not sedatives, “uppers” or tranquilizers. They are not habit-forming. Generally antidepressant medications have no stimulating effect on people not experiencing depression.
  Mygenericpharmacy offer best consultancy for depression patients.

  Depression is treatable and most people see improvements in their symptoms when treated with medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two.But treatment should be individualized. What works for one person might not necessarily work for another. It’s important to talk to your physician and treatment team about which options may be most effective in reducing your depression.
