How do you tell your parents you have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression.... Especially when they believe that there is no such thing as stress and depression?

If you tried talking to them already, have your doctor prove it to them. By having a doctor talk to them, it is a good idea because they are the ones who diagnosed it in the first place, and if an authority says you have it, then your parents should believe it from your doctor.

I have anxiety ADHD and depression and I believe my ADHD and depression are byproducts of my anxiety and I am taking an SSRI that does not help me at all Would Alprazolam be more effective?
You need to speak to your pyschiatrist. Maybe seroquel would help - it is fast acting. Therre are many SSRI's,so you may need to switch to another one that is effective.

Might you have schizophrenia?
Details: I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression last year, but recently I've been thinking it may be more than that. I've always been prone to existential crises, but they have recently been getting worse. I've never seen or heard anything that nobody else did, and have never deluded myself, but I find it very easy to visualize things or imagine hearing them. In the fifth and sixth grade especially, I had a massive problem with sleeping because, mostly due to a lack of socializing successfully, I was absolutely terrified of being left alone. This fear has dissolved over the years, but every once in a while I still feel traces of this. Schizophrenia, along with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, and mood disorders, run rampant in my family, so I think I at least have reason to believe I may have something more. I'm only 14 yet, so it's hard to tell. It may not be schizophrenia, but is there something that hasn't been diagnosed

About 8 weeks for me for anxiety and depression, but I believe your brain will really only get used to it after 12 months so beyond that the side effects and re-lapses might subside..

Are headaches common while taking Triphasil for birth control and Effexor for anxiety or depression?
I don't know what the correlation is between birth control and anxiety/depression medication but I do know that one of the side effects of taking the birth control pill is headaches, especially when you first start taking it. I agree with anonymous above, headaches is a common side effect when first taking the pill. I am on my second pack and my headaches can get pretty bad. As far as the anxiety/depression medication, you might want to ask your doctor but if the doctor prescribed your pills knowing you were on that medication you might be fine because they prescribe the pill that would be right for you based on your medical history. ask your Dr or pharmacist. i take both, and i do get bad headaches sometimes. headaches and migraines are a side effect of Effexor also, along w/ the pill I believe that headaches/migraines occur with Effexor especially if you don't take it close to the same time every day. Being off by just a little bit seemed to cause major headaches and nausea when I was on it. Withdrawal.

How did the depression take toll on women children and minorities in America?
Depression takes a toll on women, children, and minorities by holding them back. Many people do not seek trouble for depression, especially if they believe they should be ashamed of being depressed, or cannot afford treatment. Without proper treatment, these individuals cannot lead a normal life.

Keep a mood diary and make sure, if you find yourself becoming what you think is manic, to see your counsellor while you still feel the same.
