Depression and Bipolar Disorder

Their actions, intensions, thoughts, feelings, how they treat people, their morals and standards and what they say.

Some people have had good results from St. John's Wort. See the link below the ads for more on that.

The trouble with medication for depression is that depression has many causes. Our brains are bathed in hundreds of chemicals and enzymes, which must all work together properly. Different psych medications alter different characteristics of our neuro-chemistry, but in truth it is a hit-or-miss practice a good deal of the time.

If one medication is not successful, try another. Depression is not only a debilitating condition, it can also be life-threatening, and it usually becomes worse over time if untreated. You need the guidance of a doctor who treats emotional problems, not just your family physician. They rarely have the proper training.

A final word about "natural" remedies. Much of the concept is blown out of proportion. What is more "natural," an uncontrolled extract of some plant that may or may not have a pharmacological purpose -- touted by non-medical people -- or a medication that has been extensively tested by experts and proven by widespread use? Use your head, and don't be swayed by "natural" anything. Remember that the people in the health food stores mean well, but they are not experts.

One of the main causes of depression these days is homocysteine, according to the LEF (Life Extension Foundation). You can download a paper from their web site about how to reduce homocysteine, but the main thing you want to take to lower homocysteine is folic acid. Unfortunately, folic acid is poorly metabolized by the body. In my journey to conquer my own depression I first took regular folic acid and experienced an inconsistent but noticeable improvment. This told me I was on to something, especially after my research told me that folic acid reduced homocysteine but the body had a hard time using it. So... I searched for a superior form of folic acid. And I found MegaFolinic (Source Naturals) which eliminated two steps of the four-step metabolic conversion. This was a noticeable improvement over the regular folic acid I had been taking, but I could tell I needed something even better. The effect was noticeable and gave me hope, but it still wasn't enough. Then, thank goodness, I found the "real deal" form of folic acid, called L-Methylfolate or 5-MTHF. This is the form of folic acid actually used by the body, and needs no conversion at all! When it first came out though (a couple years ago) it was a "medical food" prescription item, and required a prescription. It was called Deplin. I strongly suggest you read everything on their web site (I don't know if I am allowed to post links here). The information there explained that 5-MTHF is seven times more bioavailable than regular folic acid. I knew immediately that that's what I needed. Problem was, it was expensive. And required a prescription, despite being only a vitamin (folic acid). Well... a couple years passed and I was browsing LEF's web site and discovered that they were now selling it (L-Methylfolate)!!! I was so excited. I immediately ordered two bottles and started taking it. The effect was immediate and very noticeable. I guess they downgraded it (the FDA) from prescription to supplement status. I am now taking it and it has completely eliminated my depression. Consistently.

Any time you take B vitamins (folic acid is a B vitamin) you want to take all the B vitamins with it. So a B complex is good. Also, you need to take a good mineral supplement too. I buy and take the Emergen-C packets and mix them in a glass of water.

TMG and zinc are also important. TMG reduces homocysteine along a different pathway. You have to take enough of it though. And also, be careful not to take too much L-Methylfolate. Consult with your health practitioner. Remember, it is the pure form of folic acid, so it is more "powerful". You can overdo anything, right? Anyway, this was the answer to my depression. There are other things I plan on doing to improve my mood even more, like reducing my estrogen dominance (I'm a man). And there is a really good supplement out of Canada called EMPowerPlus too. Check that out too, on YouTube.

Godspeed.

History caused businesses houses to close down of not allow employment, factories shut down an banks failed,farms income fell down to 50 percent and by 1932 approximately were unemployed.

Rhiannon would need to be evaluated by a mental health professional to be properly diagnosed as Bipolar.

The actual music probably can't cause depression. Sure, there are songs that can move people but it isn't likely to cause depression. Perhaps some songs can remind you of things that can make you feel upset, and over time it could lead to depression.

The minor keys are usually employed for downbeat sound. However, if you want a more in depth answer, it gets more complicated (Music Theory students this is for you).

The C minor can usually be made to sound sad, but it is also used sometimes to give the image of hopeless love. D-flat major is usually used when grieving and D minor is a more subtle sadness. Then D-sharp minor is a more inward, phantom-like sadness, full of fear and despair. Variations of D are not generally very happy keys. D-flat minor can also sound creepy and scary too. E major and E minor are both very sad keys; E major has the characteristic of loss of hope and E minor sounds very dark and angry. F major has a cold icy feel to it (it gives the image of having to accept what you can't have) and there's also F minor, which has a miserable and depressed sound to it, and F-sharp minor, which is not necessarily sad, but it is pouty and unsatisfied. F-sharp Major has a grumpy, sour feel to it and G minor was the key Mozart used to express tragedy. Skipping to A-flat major, here is the Grim Reaper's messenger; this key is used when implying death or thoughts of death, not suicidal, mind you, but tearful release and A-flat major also has a longing feel to it. When A-flat is in minor, it brings feelings of struggling, almost desperate striving. A major is also quite sad, but more of a subtle sadness like D minor. B-flat minor involves more self-anguish and anger towards self, the kind of key that curses at the world and everything in it. B major is a powerful key for screaming despair and sadness to the world; however, it is not always the best for sadness, since it is power in general, also used in envy and rage, and B major also signifies the feeling of being lost. Finally B minor was once regarded as the key of passive suffering and out of all these I personally think E major is the worst key to listen to, it brings me tears whenever I hear it.

Those should be all the different shades sadness found in different keys. As mentioned, minor keys are usually sad keys, but like with any language, there are exceptions. For example, A minor is a key of gentleness and kindness, rather than sadness. Anyway, these are not all the musical keys possible and they are arranged alphabetically starting from C, rather than by the circle of fifths, but here's hoping you found what you were looking for!

he ran away that night of the show...



xD no...actually i had been a run away......but whatever....i just want to say you guys are ignorant idiots for that stupid segment.... especially that moron who did the whole story...

--RIDGE :)


p.s..... ABC sux... though it was pretty dope to see me on t.v..... oh yeah...and emo IS stupid...

The prince states that hes got MONTAGUE IN HIS BLOOD, so he's a Montague.

Actually the prince does not say that he has "Montague in his blood" at all. He does say:

"Capulet, Montague, see what a scourge is laid upon your hate, that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen."

Capulet and Montague have lost their "joys", their children. But the Prince has lost kinsmen over and above those, and just two of them (Mercutio and Paris). The Prince, Mercutio and Paris belong to a family that is neither Montague nor Capulet. That is why Mercutio says, "A plague on both your houses." He is cursing Montagues and Capulets, but not his own house, which is different.

Jerome had failed previously in committing suicide. He was perfect genetically and his family had high expectations for him. His genetic material was second to none. However, despite his genetic advantages, he took second place in a high profile swimming match. This event prompted him to step in front of a moving vehicle and attempt suicide.

He was left crippled and despondent. Meeting Vincent gave him a new lease on life; a purpose. His genetic advantage could be passed on to someone else. In essence, Vincent's success was the ultimate embodiment of Jerome's genetic advantage.

Once Vincent succeeds in getting onto the Titan mission, he became concerned about how this would affect Jerome. Jerome would be left alone for 1 year.

In the end, Jerome felt that it was time to complete what he had started long ago. His life's potential and future goals were passed onto Vincent to carry on and Jerome felt he wasn't needed any longer.

He left enough genetic material for Vincent to use when he returned from his Titan mission and completed his suicide.

Depression effects lot of things. It effects your health, mentally and pysically. It makes you very sleepy so you want to sleep all the time, and it has a great deal of fatigue a lot of the time. It has a lot of pressure on your brain because you feel so sad all the time. It effects your family, and friends who care about you, and are worried about you.

Nobody wants to be depressed only if your trying to seek some pitiful attention as depressoin is a illness and wanting depression is like saying you want cancer as you can die, As when you have depression you can come to the time in your life you want to end it and nobody wants you to die even if you think nobody loves you or cares but they do and you would be a fool to waste life so says some people but depression turns you like that xxx keep safe love Tina -15

There were at least three groups other than automobile corporations that were financially well-off during the Depression. These includeÊthe clothing manufacturers, newspaper publishers, and oil companies.

Get a makeover and get some neww friends that know how to cheer you up. I was feeling ugly a few weeks ago but i just think about people who have been in bad accidents and thank god they are not me. PS do you know any thing about 4 stringed bass guitars???

It's a complex question with a lot of possible answers. But here is some good advice: practice giving. Give something of yourself, preferably to someone or something who really needs it. Volunteer at a hospital, a zoo, a youth volunteer force for the police department, the Red Cross, the city. Be a pair of helping hands, a listening ear, a kind voice. Offer your strength and energy and intelligence where they can really do some good.

Something that will take you outside of yourself while at the same time letting you see how valuable you can be to others--and how beautiful you are to them--will make much more of a difference than you can possibly imagine.

Yes, you can be so depressed that you commit suicide. While there is no direct link between depression and death, there are connections--theoretical, anecdotal, and practical. Depression leads to several side effects of reduced or compromised health. Depression suppresses the immune system, subdues metabolism, and as expressed above can create a psychatric situation that can lead to suicidal thoughts.

This was done by borrowing and printing money, and hiring people to do all sorts of public works projects. Roads, bridges, parks, and all sorts of other things were built. This did not end the Depression, though. WW2 ended the Depression.

If the person has an element of moderate depression, if female, this could be premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Premenstrual depression but on a more severe scale. If subject within enquirers question is male, a medical check for underlying problems may be an idea.

Suicide most often comes from depression and a lack of hope. When a person is feeling 'beat up' and cannot see any impending improvement, suicide becomes an option.

If you think you are bi-polar , you must have meds AND counseling to learn to live with this. This is a chemical imbalance in your brain.You absolutely cannot control this yourself. Your parents can be charged with neglect if they fail to attempt to get you help. If they have no counselor at your school , tell the teacher you trust the most. Schools have a Federal Mandate to see you get help if you have a genuine , serious problem.

In the 1920's mentally handicapped people were treated with delicet. They would wear caps to identify their handicappacity. They really werent mental.they were very challenging.

they were generally segregated from society.

Thoughts/attempts of suicide, losing intesrest in activities you used to enjoy, isolating yourself from others, attitude changes (in a negative way), dropping grades, loss of intesrest in everything, failing to communicate, and low self esteem/ being consious about yourself all the time.

"The U.S. tops the list, with 9.6% of the population experiencing bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder or chronic minor depression over the course of a year. That's compared with a .8% rate documented in Nigeria. The findings are part of a 2004 study of 14 countries by researchers from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Harvard Medical School."

My wife has depressionand Ican tell you there are different stages of depression , however, have a physician give her a questionnaire as to her severity of depression buy ifyou have already done this and she is on medication. at this point as far as I'm concerned by speaking with your physician and my wife all i can do is support her. Helping with depression is almost obsolete as far as my helping her. She also has bipolar , personality disorder, which aggravates the depression and my wife is on meds for that also not to mention the ever day hurt that may be associated with depression.. its not just mental its physical also .. read as much on this subject as possible to assist your wife , not her fault she has it , its either hereditary or due to medicine she has taken that caused this. just be there for her, its not a cake walk , but we married for better or worse , stick with it man and read, read , read to better understand the condition. my name is James ... send any thing to kaysefx5@yahoo.com subject help w depression. The above post was excellent. I would like to add two things in life that can cause depression in women. Shortly after having a baby and it's called 'postpartum blue' and treatable by her doctor, or if she should be going into peri menopause or menopause. Peri menopause is a change of hormones and can start as young as 35 years old (many cases of this) and she may have skipped periods, feeling lethargic, depressed, moody, angry one minute and happy the next. Menopause means a woman ceases to have her periods and can have hot/cold flashes, moodiness, depression, anger outbursts, can't make up her mind; sad one moment and practically bouncing off the walls with happiness in the next moment. Take your wife for a complete physical and get the doctor to give her a T3/T4 blood test for thyroid. Also have the doctor check her hormone levels (although these tests aren't always accurate) and if she has any missed periods to no periods she should tell the doctor this as well. Women get depressed going through postpartum blues, peri menopause or menopause and this has nothing to do with the regular mental ailments others have. Don't jump to conclusions and let the doctor diagnose. Go with your wife and be supportive. I gave my husband information on my menopause which he read and I was thankful he did and we worked through it together.
