      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I started experiencing depression in high school, mostly due to my disability. It has continued ever since, mainly due to life circumstances--not being able to work because of transportation issues, and when I came back to live with my parents' home, their still treating me like less than a teenager (overprotective tendencies) and not letting me live my life the way I choose. I do know the dangers of Internet dating, however, in my situation, it is the only way I can meet people right now.

      Treatments

      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      Prozac was my first medication for depression. It worked for a while, but then I wanted something else.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Several experiences with therapy have been helpful at different times.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      It was working fine until I ran out and my mother refused to take me to get refills because she thought I was addicted. The same thing happened with my Klonopin.
