hallo syl, hope u feel better soon.
take ah few days off go tobago an chill

(ah hear ganja real good fuh depression....)

[guyguy]

Well, sylvestter is a highly intelligent young man who has quite a lot of positive things going for him so I'm certain he'll choose option #1. We all suffer with bouts of depression that are triggered by various sources. For example, I'm depressed right now because I'd much prefer to be in T&T - SoE and all - but I know this is a rebound effect brought on by the wonderful time I spent recently in T&T and I'll just have to work my way through it until it passes.

Depression can be latent which can be hereditary and show up unexpectedly in adulthood without us realizing the cause. The severity can vary widely. I knew an entire family, from father to mother to children that suffered from depression as adults. Neither spoke of their bouts of depression with each other, thinking that their problem was unique, until a family member accidentally mentioned his "problem" at a family gathering. Suddenly, everyone started piping up with their own stories until they all realized that this may be hereditary. After visiting their doctors, they were treated medically and last I heard, all were doing just fine.

so guyguy, eef someone has ah light case of depression, without de usual blatant symtoms, how do fahmahly members or friends recognize such? an how do dey in ah constructive way deal wid dah situation?

[Falcon]

Many guys have a problem coming to terms with the notion that they may be depressed. Whether it is situational or due to an underlying medical condition of varying chronicity, the fact is, you cannot just wish yourself back to optimum serotonin levels. There is no weakness in seeking medical help.

[amzz]

Syl, have you been attending ur swim/spin classes? Exercise and being involved in a hobby are two recommendations for battling depression.

Hi Shaddeck,
Let me state that I am not a physician nor a medical doctor so I do not wish to seem as though I'm dispensing medical advice. That being understood; everyone becomes depressed at one time or another depending on the circumstances - a death, loss of job, family squabbles, etc., - but these are short-term and relatively temporary from which we recover in a reasonable length of time. These symptoms may range the gamut from being very mild to extremely severe whereby we not only comtemplate but actually commit suicide.

Recognizing a "mild" case by family members is very difficult unless the symptoms are prolonged or recur frequently. For example, if your child dies, one would expect a loving parent to suffer an initial severe bout of depression which, over time, tends to dissipate to a milder form of depression that may last for years. On the other hand, if your garden is destroyed by the neighbour's cow, you may suffer a mild form of depression after taking out your anger by killing the cow and having a BBQ for your village - for seeing your hard work having been destroyed by the unconcerned cow. Soon, you'll get over it and carry on with your daily life; maybe plant another garden and institute remedial measures to prevent this from recurring. This would be easy to spot by family and friends, and dealing constructively with that situation is relatively simple (other than advising or helping you to kill the cow).

Chronic depression is a different kettle of fish altogether and the consequences are always extremely severe and frequently tragic. This is relatively easy to spot but requires the intervention of professionals that are trained in treating this malady. As I've stated before, chronic depression may be hereditary. It may also arise from a childhood traumatic experience, a chemical imbalance, or even genetic. Only an extensive work-up by competent professionals who are equipped to make a correct diagnosis and prescribe an appropriate curative or maintenance treatment can help.

On a health radio program some time ago the doctor was mentioning that a malfunctioning Thyroid could cause depression. May be you could check it out.

[mivs]

Syl I hope you were able to seek some medical attention, anxiously waiting to hear how you feelin

[indie]

^^sure it does, when its less about the alcohol and more about the socialisation.
Alcohol loosens tongue = all problems come spilling out = tears flow = hugs follow = different perspective or goal injected/ plan arranged = more hugs = happy drinks = bad talk amzz/drunken singing = get drop home = sleep.

Depression is second only to hypertension as the most common chronic condition encountered in
general medical practice. Despite its prevalence, depression is not taken seriously. Yet depression
is also a killer, through suicide and other related conditions like alcoholism and drug addiction.
Another problem with diagnosis is that there are probably several distinct types of depression, like
seasonal affective disorder, where depression has a strong seasonal component, where weight gain,
and increased apetite feature. Another complicating factor is negative life events themselves seem
to be partially heritable, probably due to passing on poor life management skills within a family.

Lucky is he who can understand the causes of things, it is one thing
to show a man he is in error, another is to put him in possession of
truth.

i think that i'm better.
it comes and goes.
have not sought medical assistance, but just trying to sort out my mind, in my mind

Have you moved in the last 3 years or so, or are you living the same place for some 10years or more.

Sometimes a change in environment can lead to gradual change towards depression.
Moving to a cold environment for example and getting less sunlight, change in diet and activity.

The best cure to away from depression is used to eat banana and also do yoga, these are the best cure fo depression and also try to spend time with your family by going outside in good and peace environment.

[letric]

According to the revised learned helplessness theory depression occurs when an individual
experiences negative events as uncontrollable, but also attributes them to causes which are
internal to the self, stable over time, and global in their impact of areas of the individual's life.
Sociologically inclined researchers have also emphasised the importance of social support as
providing a buffer for women when facing stress, explaining why more isolated women are
prone to depression. Men on the other hand had to be more prone to depression secondary to
goal function.
-Brown, G. W., and Harris T. (1978) Social Origins of Depression.


Major depression was cited by the WHO as the fourth main causes of burden
of disease in the world in 1990, and its is projected that by 2020 it will then
occupy first place in developing countries, and third place in developed ones.

My friend just got over her depression for now. She has no worries, a well paid part time job, good health, supportive husband but feeling depressed for the past 2 months. She was taking some medication that was helping but was having some side effect so she took it off. She knew a co worker from India who taught her Yoga and she said within 10days she was completely OK.
