Avatar f tn Have you received any treatment for your current symptoms? It is possible to treat them while you figure out the diagnosis. During my last relapse I could barely keep my eyes open and more than once tripped over my feet because I couldn't lift them properly when walking. I got a 5 day course of IVSM, high dose intravenous steroids. That reduced the inflammation and my symptoms went away, including the tiredness.
Avatar f tn To be labeled major / clinical depression, these symptoms have to exist for at least two weeks and occur more often than not (meaning you have more bad days than good). They also cannot be related to a major life stressor (like a recent death in the family... which would be "normal" grief - not clinical depression). The majority of people who suffer from depression also suffer from some form of anxiety disorder.
5864500 tn?1380889597 Hello and welcome! It sounds like you've been at this for a long time. There are different kinds of depression, but I think what you're talking about is clinical or chronic depression. Unfortunately. most people diagnosed with clinical depression are kind of stuck with it. That doesn't mean it cannot be managed and treated however. Like you said, it's kind of like diabetes or hypertension...

724388 tn?1231372047 If your life and the issues you experienced could be talked through it would not be clinical depression. However, clinical depression can be worsened by traumatic life experiences. I can't tell the exact difference but a psychiarist could. Also you said you had manic depression. Of course now the term is bipolar.
Avatar m tn They can get you to someone to talk to And to REALLY diagnosie you in a clinical way. If you are depressed and having trouble finding the will to live, it would be so very important that you seek treatment. Talk to your mom and be honest, please. One of the reasons you may be fighting with her is it is an outlet to your stress and she is a safe person. Try not to fall into this trap with your loved ones. It becomes a pattern and negatively impacts relationships now and in the future.

Avatar m tn Your chances are excellent being treatment naive. I finished up the gilead 12 week study with GS5885 (ledipasvir)/sofosbuvir/riba 8 weeks ago. I finally went UND on this Study trial. This is my 4th attempt with the first 3 Tx attempts (with interferon) being failures. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Avatar m tn Lizz67 I never said I had clinical depression. I actually had psychotherapy and it helped me get over my anxiety and depression. If you notice on the doctor's post, he mentioned psychotherapy as a second alternative giving me the option to choose whats best for me. In this case, it was psychotherapy. It might not help you but it helps others.

1032715 tn?1315984234 Hi Narla, A lot in your post to think about. First thing I should say to you is that the term "clinical depression" simply means a case of depression being treated by a clinician, a doctor. OK. So it's depression, nothing different about it except you are seeing a doc whereas many do not and thuis the term clinical does not apply to them. You follow? The biggest thing that jumps out is nearly 15 years on meds and 14.5 on one med, Zoloft.
Avatar f tn I believe I've been confusing terms . . . what is meant by clinical symptoms? What term refers to symptoms noticed by the neuro during the exam? I'm trying to determine where I fall with the various MS criteria.

People who suffer depression while taking treatment, people who have thoughts of suicide or self-harm or people with a family history of depression should be encouraged to access support and counseling. Anyone with a history of depression should be monitored throughout their treatment to make sure that treatment is not causing a major depressive episode.
Avatar m tn As far as Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin there is no associated mental effects such as clinical depression. Clinical depression is a side effect of peg-interferon as in mentioned in the product label of all interferons NOT Ribavirin. The data on side effects is available for most trials that are completed at this time and that Gilead submitted to the FDA for treatment approval.
