Depression and Bipolar Disorder

It is a very dangerous drug which is being used to lose weight fast. Side effects include, brain vertigo (blood shot eyes), dillusions(from depression/bad thoughts) and wrath (easily angered).

Clinical depressions can be sought out by several symptoms. These symptoms include difficulty concentrating, fatigue, thoughts of suicide, irritability, overeating or loss of appetite, and persistent aches and pains.

When your sad, you should do something to cheer you up. Such as your favourite hobby, or eating somthing you like, or visiting someone you love. if you are sad because someone has died, don't forget them. Always remember them and treasure them. if you are sad because your favourtie TV programme isn't on, then GET OVER IT!!!! Sadness can be showed in many different ways, and the is not right or wrong answer for it. (Feel free to add anything, just don't delete any one elses) - Charlotte

You have to go to the doctors about this or talk to a professional because they can see which anti-depression is the best one for you as there is many out there and it's better to get a legal prescription so you can follow the guidelines and ensure that you are taking them properly and taking the right ones.

Sleeping too much is one sign of depression, but it could have other causes, too. Look up the symptoms of depression and see if a lot of them fit. Depression is very common, and it can be treated.


Your best bet is to get a medical check-up to see if you are healthy. Then ask your doctor for a recommendation to a doctor who specializes in depression, like a psychiatrist. You can take pills or just talk to the specialist and maybe that would be enough to clear it up.

Often the therapeutic dose is very close to the toxic dose.

Someone who suffers from major depression and in need of immediate professional help.

Someone who is thinking of suicide should talk to a good friend, go out with some friends, etc...Do whatever will help them take their mind off of suicide! If you have any feelings of hurting yourself, or others, especially if you have a plan of how to do it, get professional help immediately. Call 911 if you are in the US and people will come and help you.

Be depressed and masturbate too much. (Not joking, it releases certain chemicals that affect the brain that cause the same symptoms as depression both chemically and behavoirally)

If you are depressed but you don't want too many people to know it you can get help.

Neither am i a doctor or physician but there are ways to release yourself from the depression with or without antidepressants.

Don't go and buy just any antidepressant, it all depends on your state of being.

The best way to tell someone you are thinking about suicide, is to say the words to them. To suffer with the thoughts and feelings alone will bring more harm to you. It may be a very scary thing to do, but the alternative is far worse. Once it is said, you can move on to recovering from what is leading to these feelings. If you cannot bring yourself to talk to someone you know, call your local suicide hotline or try these numbers: 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433; Call 1-800-273-TALK / 1-800-273-8255.

People can't wait to die because they have had their fill at the banquet of life, and it is time to return to the heavens with the knowledge they have gained. The experience of life valuable or not does not weigh in to when or how departure is determined; however, the size of one's appetite for life incarnate does. Some are gorge themselves, other are easily satisfied. I for one am easily satisfied that life is as nourishing as sugarless candy.

Not a smart thing to do, I quit cold turkey for Bi-Polar, and Depression and I regret being off them. Been there; done that. You become a popular breakfast cereal..... "Fruit Loops." You can only be bi-polar if the chemistry in your head becomes imbalanced; your meds are supposed to re-balance your scrambled head. Going without your meds is only good when you are appearing before a Social Security Evaluation Board to get on SSI, but not really recommended. Bi-polar IS A DIRECT RESULT FROM BIOLOGICAL PARENTS PROCREATING THESE CHILDREN AT CERTAIN, PREDICTABLE, AVOIDABLE TIMES. The only problem is that people never heard of this Theory, or the Genetic Law behind it This same Law affects EVERY child born.

Persons with bipolar disorder are very susceptible to cocaine (and other "uppers" abuse, like meth). This is because the high from the cocaine mimics the bipolar person's natural manic state (bipolar disorder consists of mania and depression, hence why it was once called "manic depression".

The mania experienced by a bipolar person is enjoyable. They often feel they are on top of the world, unstoppable, euphoric, impulsive and spontaneous. When in a manic phase, it is not uncommon for the person to go on a shopping spree and spend more money than they have. Sometimes the impulsive behavior during a manic phase will trigger a depressive episode, other times the depression just comes without any triggers.

The depression experienced by someone with bipolar is usually severe. Once the person has experienced cocaine (or other uppers) they may abuse it to retrieve those great feelings during their mania. This means the potential for abuse and addiction is high.

There are no specific risks that are unique to someone suffering from bipolar disorder compared to a cocaine users who does not have bipolar. I'd only assume that if the bipolar person is in a manic phase when (s)he uses the cocaine, their impulsivity and feelings that they cannot be harmed could make them susceptible to overdose or other dangerous behavior while under the influence.

There are rehab facilities that treat "dual diagnosis" which means the person not only has a substance abuse/addiction problem, but they have a mental disorder (such as bipolar) congruently. I'd recommend they look into a dual diagnosis treatment center if they are looking for or wanting help.

Suffering from depression is really a loss of the self. Common consequences of depression are chronic loss of sleep, loss of interest in things that normally excite you,

loss of emotion (apathy) and loss of hope. Any one of those can be experienced by a healthy person for a short while, but when the problem is chronic it becomes imperative to see a doctor.

Yes and no - bipolar disorder is a mental disorder because it is a chemical imbalance within the brain which causes mood swings. However, you might consider it a physical disorder because it does have specific physical symptoms such as extreme tiredness alternating with periods of extreme energy, and risky behavior during certain times. Most doctors consider it to be a mental disorder.

While Graves disease is potentially fatal if untreated, it doesn't seem to be much of a threat if properly managed.

Graves disease is the result of the immune system attacking the thyroid in such a way that the body produces too much thyroxin. Once that occurs the metabolism can be stimulated to the degree that the body is unable to process sufficient calories to meet the needs of normal operations, so the body starts feeding on it's own muscle mass. Unfortunately, one of the muscles, the heart, doesn't do well once it is reduced beyond a certain point.

When treated, Graves disease is little more than an annoyance.

When you are depressed, you often have aches and pains, or even nausea, which have no definite cause. It is a proven fact that a poor mental attitude can affect your body. When you are suffering from depression and thinking all that negativity, it can indeed cause your body to suffer right along with your mind.
