Antidepressants are not narcotics. Legally a "narcotic" is either an opioid like heroin or morphine or it is cocaine/crack. Medically the term "narcotic" only refers to opioid analgesics. Most doctors and scientists do not like using the word narcotic because most people do not understand exactly what a narcotic is. An antidepressant is not a narcotic nor is it a drug of abuse. Antidepressants are not controlled substances and drug seeking behaviour has not been scene in people taking antidepressants.

It can be argued that amphetamines in particular might be considered narcotics as they are occasionally used in people with severe refractory depression. However technically amphetamines are not narcotics.

I've been working on this for a little over three years.. So for me has not been easy however, has gotten Much better. It takes work. The harder you work the quicker you can control this in my opinion. See a shrink. I was very skeptical and very surprised how much better i felt almost instantly. Beware of the pill pushers because it is possible to go the natural route. I went a few times and just appreciated hearing that I was not alone in this. Read the books they recommend and just work on yourself. Its a little different than just reading random info on your own. Dont be ashamed- there are millions of us. Also if you are not comfortable seeing someone its still possible. Figure out why you have this. Look at your upbringing and where you got your thinking patterns and know that it is possible to change them.. Seems impossible sometimes but I promise it is. If you heard 100000 times that little things were the end of the world than you need to tell yourself 200000 times that everthing is going to be ok. Cheesy as it sounds it's all about conditioning. Does a particular activity or idea trigger your attacks? What do you get most nervous about? Simplify simplify simplify.. and do the work. Not only when you're having an attack, but right now. All this is much harder to focus on when you are freaking out. I feel your pain friend.

Yes, I've seen this before.

In the Discovery Health Channel, a woman has 15 or 16 different personalities.

She's herself at first, then shes a whole different person, later on she's a teacher.

But she is aware she has multiple personalities.

Basically, you bleed. A lot. Sometimes you bleed so much that you die. It is not fun and very painful and YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER DO IT. Seriously. If you're ever thinking about hurting yourself, talk to someone. DON'T try to kill yourself. Please. Just don't do it.

If you are having these feelings on a regular basis you should find someone professional to talk to. Families are great (at least most of them) as well as friends, but they can't be objective the way a professional can and didn't go to school for years to do the job of helping you sort out where the trouble is. You may be feeling this way for a lot of reasons. Situations, like friends, work, romance, school and such which will change over time can be helped by learning coping skills from a counselor or therapist. Biological causes such as a hormone imbalance, lack of sleep or exercise, drug use, can be helped by consulting with a doctor. Emotional problems such as low self esteem, racing thoughts, obsessive thinking, lack of motivation etc. can be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain or poor self image, and can be helped by a therapist or a psychiatrist. The main thing is to know that feeling this way is a sign that something isn't working and it can be made better with the right kind of help. It may take time and some shopping around for the right answer for you, but you will feel better eventually and you are worth the effort.

It seems unlikely that a job would be the sole source of depression. Is it just your job that makes you feel this way or do other areas of your life produce the same feelings? Many people complain about being depressed when in reality they are just feeling sad, bored, unhappy, dissatisfied, stressed... With nothing more to go on than your original question - and the way it was phrased - I'd guess your problem is one of the above rather than true depression. Below is a list of some of the ''most common'' symptoms used to diagnose depression: *Prolonged sadness or unexplained crying spells *Significant changes in appetite and sleep patterns *Irritability, anger, worry, agitation, anxiety *Pessimism, indifference *Loss of energy, persistent lethargy *Feelings of guilt, worthlessness *Inability to concentrate, indecisiveness *Inability to take pleasure in former interests, social withdrawal *Unexplained aches and pains *Recurring thoughts of death or suicide If you experience five or more of these symptoms for more than two weeks or if any of these symptoms interfere with work or family activities then it's likely that you suffer from some form of depression. If it only your job that you are unhappy with you may be experiencing burnout, or in need of something more challenging. Start looking for a new job. Maybe a change of scenery, so to speak, will help. Start taking the necessary steps to get a better one - go back to school, or just take a few classes to learn new skills or brush up on the ones you have. I would also seek out a therapist; your family doctor can recommend one. He or she will be able to tell you if you are just suffering a case of the blues or work related stress/anxiety, or if you are truly depressed. Often depression can be treated with therapy alone, no medication needed. But if anti-depressants are deemed necessary, you'll have to decide whether you'd rather live with your condition or whether taking a pill for a while (in some cases even for the rest of your life, as in my own case) in order to lead a normal life is acceptable. The good news is that a large number of people experience one or more periods of depression that eventually go away in a relatively short time. And the sooner you seek help the quicker you can get your life back on track. Women seem to be more susceptible to these bouts of depression. (I don't know for sure, but I suspect hormones have something to do with it - like postpartum depression, for example.) The bad news is that some people suffer from more serious kinds of depression that can be treated but are unlikely ever to be cured. I fall into this category, I've suffered from depression almost my entire life (I'm 37). I think that whomever asked the question already knows the answer. You need to get another job. There are many people who can go to work each day and collect their paychecks and come home and it seems as if they really don't care what kind of job they have. I'm not one of those people! I am a "people person." Also, I'm very good with words and communcation but horrible with numbers. Believe it or not I've actually taken jobs in my life where I was either isolated from people all day in a small office, or where I would enter NUMBERS into a computer. I even had ONE job when I did BOTH! Needless to say, these are the types of jobs where I would leave the office in tears or would start dreading coming back to work the next day on the way HOME! If your job is depressing you, you are probably unsuited for it (and vice versa) and in your heart you know you're supposed to be doing something else. I, too, am 37 and for too many years I listened to people who urged me to take jobs because of higher pay or benefits. I'd make tons of money but would come home absolutely miserable each day. Finally, a few years ago, I took a job that I loved. No insurance. Seasonal with no guarantee of rehire after eight months. And people thought I was nuts. But it was the kind of job that truly brought me personal satsifaction and happiness. I'd breeze through each day and come home HAPPY. I found other ways to supplement my income and even started a small side business because of all of this. Life is too short. Start thinking about the kind of job you would truly love to have and go for it. If furthering your education is involved, then go in that direction first. The job that I loved eventually did end so I had to take another office job temporarily. I recently returned to school after 20 years to pursue a career that I will love! Your job is a huge part of your life. You CAN find something that you enjoy!

Any mental illness may be difficult to treat for any reason.

Anti-Social Personality Disorder is completely intractable: meaning there is no known generally accepted treatment, short of incarceration in a penal facility, for any crime committed by someone with the condition.

Severe psychiatric complaints (schizophrenia, Bipolar Affective Disorder and Chronic Depression) are among the more intractable because they require lifelong medication compliance. That is, the only generally accepted treatment options are drug regimens, using drugs that have powerful side-effects. Patients on such regimens, once noticeable improvements have been seen, may discount past symptoms, focus on the side-effects, and decide they are "cured." This leads to non-compliance and relapse of symptoms.

Geriatric Psychiatric complaints are also notoriously intractable. Alzheimer's type Dementia, must be caught early if there is any hope of treatment, it is degenerative, and requires medication compliance similar to slow the development of symptoms. Medication compliance without a dedicated caregiver is notoriously poor, because deficits to short term memory, caused by the condition itself, often make remembering to take the medication difficult

A variety of other psychological and behavioral disorders are difficult to treat for a variety of reasons. Included on this list are: Borderline Personality Disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, etc.

No. The emotion of sadness itself is not lethal, no matter how pronounced or long lasting.

That said, people in the grips of profound sadness often make mistakes in judgment that can have profound and lethal consequences. Untreated negative emotions may lead to self-medication and substance abuse, high risk sexual behavior and suicidallity.
