Depression

[DanielM]

I dont know if this would be a Mental Illness. But anyways, Since august I have been to the doctors about being depressed, they always reply that it is a stage i am going through. Through what they fail to beilieve is that my mam has suffered from depression for 9 years. Am just wounderin is this a stage or is it atcually depression.

And how can I fight against it?

It depends, it is normal for teenagers to go through phases of depression but you can always tell in yourself really when its not just a phase. But in any case i think you need to tell them about your mothers depression and that you're worried about how you're feeling because you know yourself its not a stage. How bad do you think on a scale from 1-10 it is. 1 being minor 10 being on the verge of a serious problem (i.e Self harming)

I want to add onto what Kaius said. If it is at 10, or you feel the urge to cut, burn, etc. DON'T do it!

It'll make you feel better but because of it I have a few hundred scars on my right and left arms.

Try to find stuff you haven't done before. Maybe buy a new videogame or read a new book. Just please don't turn to cutting as a solution.

I've had Depression for about a year and a half now so I can relate to you. :hug:

Well you should talk to them about your mothers depression. Or talk to your mother so you can fix this before it gets any worse.

I was diagnosed with depression last year, after being depressed more than half of my life. And now I've got out of it, with antidepressives and help from people around me, mostly my boyfriend though.

So well. Maybe you should just sit down and have a talk with your mother, and then you could go see the doctors about it again. Or get you a therapist, or something that can help you out.

And (if you don't already) don't ever make self-harm a solution. It's just making everything a houndred times worse than they were before.

Pm me if you ever want/need to talk.

Depression is one type of illness and a person who got these they fell stress in his life. Mostly it was seen in women because they take so many silly thing on there mind. A symptoms of these are a person who got these they live alone and feel sad always. They think negative and they did not know what they are talking and always angry on all.

That's so totally not right in a lot of cases. Just saying.
