Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionSevere depression on dad's side of the family. Showed up in me about age 18. Very tough time, what can I say! Doing well on medication.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Ahhh it helped a little... but the meds were better. I think it's biological.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Haha yes when I CAN think positively! Did anybody else think this was strange? That's what we want to GET from treatment?
- Prozac Working / Worked
- Took a LONG TIME to get the right dose which made for some very interesting mood swings. Slight side effects - some twitching, vivid dreams, & less sex drive. But it keeps me alive.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I didn't really like it at all. An hour a week with some random person doesn't really measure up to what you say to yourself the rest of the hours of the week. But I think it probably helped.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Yep yep yep
- Running Working / Worked
- Well I do love to run
