Depression

How can I cope with or lessen my symptoms of depression? I have not been medically diagnosed with depression, but it is something that causes me a lot of pain. If you also suffer from depression, share your strategies!

    I’m just wondering whether pundits and economists called it a "recession" or a "downturn" or other such euphemisms until long after it was over, when it was finally acknowledged to be a depression, or whether they called it a global depression right from the start.

      Females suffer from anxiety and depression at twice the rate of men. In fact, mental disorders such as anxiety and depression are the leading cause of disability for women.

      What are the leading causes of anxiety and depression in women? Please provide as credible sources as possible. Thankyou.
      Great answers so far!

        I did just this after 3 years of depression.

        My depression culminated in an attempted suicide at age 10.

        The modern view in medicine is that suicide is a consequence of failing to cope with "depression".

        There is plenty of information regards this topic online, but hardly any on how a person can overcome depression without medical help, this is why i want to know what you think is a persons reason/s for leaving depression behind without medical help.

        Thanks.

        I’ve been in Iraq for well over a year and while I have been pretty much out of harm’s way for the most part, it has been a rough year emotionally. I have not been diagnosed with depression before because I never saw a psychiatrist or anyone of that nature, however, I can tell you that for a good part of ten years, I’ve been having a series of depression which last for several days.

        Here in Iraq, it’s been the most prominent. I would get depressed and feel empty inside and this will last for a week and then I would feel better for a week and get depressed for another week and feel better for three weeks. Usually, my depression is sudden. I would be at work and I will feel fine and then all of a sudden I would feel this uncontrollable saddness and empty feeling inside me. Almost like disappointment or like I lost something. Which would eventually turn into iritability and hostility and back to silence again.

        I want to see a real psyciatrist but don’t know what to do. Thanks.
