Depression

Click on depression
Buddhism was developed in a way to treat "depression." A way to end "suffering."
Christianity in a way too; Jesus said: "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
so I have given you 3 diffent approaches to treat the condition. If you have specific questions, bring them on. -
No lah.. Hahaz.. Let's not digress from the topic of depression.. =XOriginally posted by R3SsH|n:you just quarrel with her is it? -
thats true though. but girls cant understand guys either...Originally posted by d3sT1nY:Maybe I just don't understand her well enough.. Well.. Since when guys can truly understand girls anyway..
i have to say that i cant really help and i cant really say if you are actually depressed.
but you are obviously troubled and if there is someone whom you can actually talk to personally, that would help a lot more.
sadly, it is also not the nature of guys to talk to people when they have troubles

i have nothing against religion.
but depression is a psychological disorder. its actually when your brain fails to release enough serotonin.
having a religion may help.
but sadly, it doesnt actually cure depression. -

and another thing, dont read up too much on stuff like these on the internet.
they will get you thinking. and you might get convinced that you ARE depressed when you might not actually be.
and the brain is a weird thing. when you think you are, after a while, you WILL BE.
doesnt make sense, but its true.
its good to know a little about this disease.
but when you are so...vulnerable, its best not to read so much about such things lah. -
Quite true.. Thanks for your advice.. Appreciated..Originally posted by udontknowme:and another thing, dont read up too much on stuff like these on the internet.

oh well, its normal for one to feel depressed/want to die.
so long it doesnt drag on for a long time...
its also normal for these feelings to go away after some time.
however, if they go away and come back...then yeah, its bad.
because once you have one relapse and dont do something about it, there tends to be many more relapses and each tends to be worse than the previous.
oh well, hope things turn out ok for you real soon, d3st1ny!!
and do ask for help here or talk to someone if you ever need to. its totally normal for people to need help... -
i have all of these symptoms leh... jialatOriginally posted by sacredspirits:some common symptoms of clinical depression:
- loss of sleep
- loss of appetite
- loss of interest in things
- severe mood swings
- losing weight
but i m not a doc or a psyhciatrist.... cannot tell u much in details.... but if these symptoms persist for substantial period of time, do get help from professionals!!! -
Ah... but what causes the brain not to release enough serotonin? I know you can take serotonin uptake inhibitors but actually the long term solution is to have a paradigm shift in your thinking or mind.Originally posted by udontknowme:i have nothing against religion.

If you don't need religion I guess that is good news... but if you think you have no way to turn... then religion is one option for many people. -
religion can help. true. and i respect your view on that.Originally posted by casino_king:Ah... but what causes the brain not to release enough serotonin? I know you can take serotonin uptake inhibitors but actually the long term solution is to have a paradigm shift in your thinking or mind.
If you don't need religion I guess that is good news... but if you think you have no way to turn... then religion is one option for many people.
but when you are really depressed, its not just about changing your views/making yourself think more positively.
unless you yourself are depressed, you wont know what its like to be depressed. and no matter how hard you try or want to be positive, its almost impossible.
thats whats sad about depression.
you cant do anything about it on your own, even if you really want to.
can ask anyone who is clinically depressed. -
religion can only suppress depression, yes it helps but it doesnt solve the problem
-
uh-huh.Originally posted by bksianzz:religion can only suppress depression, yes it helps but it doesnt solve the problem
i agree with that.
depression is a chemical imbalance lah... -

yeah.....very very good description......and also....you might retract from socialising...........
try to do things that make you happy.......meaning you have to be absoultely selfish to your own benefit..........that way.......it helps and depression is really CURABLE!!!!

I think u are juz feeling sadness, not depression.
Dun worry. -
I see what you mean; when you are suffering from depression you take medication and not try religion. Yes I agree. After you have got over your latest depression episode; then what? Wait for the next one and take medication again?Originally posted by udontknowme:religion can help. true. and i respect your view on that.

I am telling you that the lond term solution can be found in religion. There are other ways like through the study of philosophy. Religion is the easy way out. But religion comes with a lot of superstitions that you should avoid. -
