could it hurt?
even if you are fine and dandy, the worst that can happen is that you get valuable insight. You also still live at home and are in school. Wait until you experience life a bit to give advice about things that you think yet don't know.;) |
Going to a psychiatrist for something like this cant hurt. But it would be expensive. So does this cost outweight the benefits? Insurance companies usually pay for 6 sessions the most so maybe it would be free if you only go for those.
Depression concists of a myriad of symptoms. If i remember correctly you must show a minimum of 3 or 4 to be considered clinically depressed. Now, what does being clinically depressed sound like? I dunno, sounds like different things to me, but i attribute robs problems simply to the fact that he finished school and has a different lifestyle.
I could be wrong though, i am not a doctor :p and i dont know him very well. |

Does it count as irony when I've already taken an Ambien to sleep and just now got a phonecall saying "We'd prefer it if we could start the project Sunday night so it could be finished in the business week."
Probably just coincidence. |

DSM-IV-TR CRITERIA
Major Depressive Episode
A. Five (or more) of the following symptoms have been present during the same 2-week period and represent a change from previous functioning; at least one of the symptoms is either (1) depressed mood or (2) loss of interest or pleasure. NOTE: Do not include symptoms that are clearly due to a general medical condition, or mood-incongruent delusions or hallucinations.
1. Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report (e.g., feels sad or empty) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful). NOTE: In children and adolescents, can be irritable mood.
2. Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day, nearly every day (as indicated by either subjective account or observation made by others).
3. Significant weight loss when not dieting or weight gain (e.g., a change of more than 5% of body weight in month), or decrease or increase in appetite nearly every day. NOTE: In children, consider failure to make expected weight gains.
4. Insomnia or hypersomnia nearly every day.
5. Psychomotor agitation or retardation nearly every day (observable by others, not merely subjective feelings of restlessness or being slowed down).
6. Fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day.
7. Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt (which may be delusional) nearly every day (not merely self-reproach or guilt about being sick).
8. Diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness, nearly every day (either by subjective account or as observed by others).
9. Recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying), recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan, or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide.
B. The symptoms do not meet criteria for a mixed episode.
C. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
D. The symptoms are not due to the direct physiologic effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., hypothyroidism).
E. The symptoms are not better accounted for by bereavement (i.e., after the loss of a loved one, the symptoms persist for longer than 2 months or are characterized by marked functional impairment, morbid preoccupation with worthlessness, suicidal ideation, psychotic symptoms, or psychomotor retardation).

| Silky Johnson |
| That IS the cor version, dummy. |
|
|
| Delmar |
| then, how bout a dummy version of the cor version. |
|
|
| Silky Johnson |
| I put some spaces in it. Should make it easier to read. |
|
|
| Delmar |
| I was just kidding you can take the spaces out. I find those things are like horoscopes, if you read them enough, you can start to believe you have those symptoms. I still think I'm in the early stages of Ebola even though its been a few years since my self diagnosis. |
