Answers:
I suffer mild depression. But suffered MAJOR post natal depression and had to be hospitalized.

My 12 year old son also suffers from depression, attempting suicide 7 months ago. He is now on anti-depressents and feeling much better.

His father suffer MAJOR, MAJOR depression so it was already in his genes to cope it in some way.

It is a major problem in our society today as more people start to talk about it as they relise someone they know is also suffering. The stigma is lessening.

Do not confuse depression with being "fed up:" "pissed off" etc. The former builds up over a fairly long period of time until it reaches a point at which the depressed can not cope with life in general. Take it from me who has had two or three mild episodes it is no laughing matter although some think is is just a little way out of working, it is not.

Useless advice:

1. "Pull yourself together!" What the hell did they think I was trying to do. People were not so good at saying how.

2. "Get a grip on yourself!" Very clever and helpful it has been trying to keep a grip on myself and not asking help because I did not could not acknowledge that I had a problem because a man in an Anglo Saxon Community is man enough to sail through these problems. What problems.? It is very lonely because in the end you do not understand what is happening to you. Everyone is against you and does not understand but I will get through it. Then the whole thing comes tumbling down and the only help is pills which in fact make it worse in the long term.

Best advice. fresh air exercise, sheer physical weariness after long walks or bike rides and deep natural sleep with good wholesome properly prepared fresh food.

I have no idea why so many have the problem but I am sure the "Fed Ups" are often treated for depression when just a slight jig in their living pattern would do the job Health Question & Answer
