Dude have a mountain dew, hang out with some friends, and lighten up for Gods sake. Your life is far from bad and the growing pains will pass. :)

Mountain Dew has finally come to sweden, and I love it. I try to lighten up. Sometimes it's good. I hope they will pass, but I honestly doubt it.

Dunno, what is there?

This breaks them down pretty well because i'm to lazy to explain ;)

 

What Is Major Depressive Disorder?

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, major depressive disorder is characterized by a combination of symptoms that interfere with a person's ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy once-pleasurable activities.

There are times you may feel sad, lonely, or hopeless for a few days. But major depression -- clinical depression -- lasts longer and is disabling. It can prevent you from functioning normally. An episode of clinical depression may occur only once in a person's lifetime. More often, though, it recurs throughout a person's life.

In addition, with major depression, one of the symptoms must be either depressed mood or loss of interest. The symptoms should be present daily or for most of the day or nearly daily for at least two weeks. Also, the depressive symptoms must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in functioning. The symptoms cannot be due to the direct effects of a substance -- drug abuse, medications -- or a medical condition, such as hypothyroidism, nor occur within two months of the loss of a loved one.

For in-depth information, see WebMD's Major Depression.

 

What Is Chronic Depression or Dysthymia?

Chronic depression, or dysthymia, is characterized by a long-term (two years or more) depressed mood. There are also symptoms present that are associated with major depression but not enough for a diagnosis of major depression. Chronic depression is less severe than major depression and typically does not disable the person. If you have dysthymia or chronic depression, you may also experience one or more episodes of major depression during your lifetime.

For in-depth information, see WebMD's Chronic Depression (Dysthymia).

What Is Atypical Depression?

The key symptoms of atypical depression include:

  • Overeating
  • Oversleeping
  • Fatigue
  • Extreme sensitivity to rejection
  • Moods that worsen or improve in direct response to events

Regular -- or "typical" -- depression, on the other hand, tends to be marked by pervasive sadness and a pattern of loss of appetite and difficulty fall or staying asleep.

For in-depth information, see WebMD's Atypical Depression.

 

What Is Bipolar Depression or Manic Depression?

Bipolar disorder -- sometimes referred to as manic depression -- is a complex mood disorder that alternates between periods of clinical depression and times of extreme elation or mania. There are two subtypes of bipolar disorder: bipolar I and bipolar II.

With bipolar I disorder, patients have a history of at least one manic episode with or without major depressive episodes.

With bipolar II disorder, patients have a history of at least one episode of major depression and at least one hypomanic (mildly elated) episode.

For in-depth information, see WebMD's Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression).

That's all kinds of depression. It could be that you have legitimate depression or chemical changes in your body due to puberty could be causing depression.

Checking in once a month for medicine ≠ psychotherapy sessions. I would suggest talking with your psychiatrist if they offer psychotherapy sessions, or seeking a therapist if they don't.

I don't understand how therapy would ever help me, I really don't. It's no use :(

I felt the way that you do when I was about your age. I guess either you get over it, or it gets over you. Life is cruel and our minds don't necessarily work towards suppressing that.

 

Hey, at least you have a good taste in music!

You misunderstand. The depression to which I was referring was the kind that you will have through out life. The other is caused by hormonal changes that take place during puberty. The affects are the same. I would suggest getting some therapy and NEVER think that won't help. ;)

Yes. I will most probably live with this more or less for the rest of my life, it is eternal. This is definitely not related to puberty. I am getting help, will be getting more help. But I'm afraid to tell you what the cause of my depression is *crying*

Get it out now and it could help but I would suggest seeing a psychologist for therapy and discussing it with them. I have family members with depression and it helped them ;)
