In reply to May Be A Stupid Question Definition Yours of Depre, posted by Phillipa on November 30, 2006, at 19:41:12
Good question Phillipa. I have a great new psychologist and after a 1 hr 20 minute initial meeting, she concludes that my primary diagnosis is depression! I thought anxiety which seems to override all, but she is an expert in mood disorders. Her name is [xxx] - google her, she believes in psychotherapy to heal depression/anxiety more than medications has a whole slide show with another Dr. on medscape.
Depression for me is feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, constant worry, FEAR, feeling like I cannot get motivated, gloominess and negativity. I think there are many different faces of depression. Sometimes depersonalization, derealization can go with it.
> I know this is a strange question. But personally what's you definition of depression? Does it mean anxiety? Or staying in bed all day? I mean so many of you work. I know I couldn't. But my anxiety is high. So am I depressed or anxious. I'm truly confused of what depression means to others. Not the standard you read but how you function in real life. Thanks Phillipa
