depression symptoms checklist

Are they aware that they have depression? One suggestion is to have them take a depression checklist. Here is one to start http://************.com/depquiz.

Every morning I take care of my normal routine--brush teeth, shower, dress etc, then mentally run through a checklist to make certain that I have all that I need to commit suicide if I need or have to do it. I did try to commit suicide 25 years ago and was hospitalized for 2 weeks, and have had some recurrent episodes of major depression a few times but have been treated effectively with medication and a variety of psychotherapies including CBT.

I am also in college and I understand the stress of classes. Personally, I feel better if I have a checklist, if I do something. It helps me to not feel so depressed. I have also seen a counselor at my university and that was helpful. Would you consider seeking professional help? I hope all goes well.

t hurt to go through the depression/anxiety checklist. Also, maybe try exercising (not later than 3 hours before bedtime), taking your mind off your symptoms, or doing some yoga or relaxing stretches to help quiet your muscles. If any of these things works, it will be cheaper and less stressful than putting yourself through tons of medical tests.....

I am trying to find everything second hand so that's why I haven't done the baby registry and got a full list.

It is certainly possible. Although your labs do not suggest that your thyroid status is much outside the "normal" (in fact different doctors would say different things about whether the isolated elevation in your TSH is significant or not). One useful way of assessing this is for you to find a checklist of "hypothyroid" symptoms to see whether and to what extent your physical symptoms suggest that your thyroid is possibly causing you problems.

i've been experiencing many symptoms that have interfered with my life for about two and a half years.

With 30 of 33 symptoms of hypothyroidism on my GP's checklist, I was referred to an endocinologist. Normal TSH, T3....but had a nuclear scan which indicated slow uptake and u/s showed 2mm growth on thyroid gland. No asperate done. Again, I am symptomatic to the point that if affects every hour of every day. Mother, maternal aunt, sister and grandmother all had/have thyroid disease.

Theres an app you can download with a checklist(: thats what im using! When youre in there you really don't need as much as you think(: the checklist is nice to have though!

From that list of symptoms you certainly should follow up with a doctor and get some testing done. As a first step I suggest that you go through this checklist of hypo symptoms and see if there are any others you recognize as well. http://thyroid.about.com/cs/basics_starthere/a/hypochecklist.htm So the first thing I think you should do is to use this link and identify all the symptoms you have.

Well id wait till after your shower then go nonlinear and find a 'what you need for baby' checklist and it will help if your not satisfied with a checklist use did ones :) hope that helps

Yes, those symptoms could very well be Lyme. Everyone is different with symptoms because Lyme could have different co-infections. I am still very ill, and others will answer in more detail but first step is to find an LLMD, Lyme literate doc. Go to our association, ILADS dot org. Read info and email them asking for an LLMD near your area. Go to an LLMD ASAP. If it is Lyme, lying dormant for all those years, it could just get worse. Feel free to message me or ask more questions on here.

I honestly need a good checklist of everything we could possibly need.If anyone has a good website or place to start post it here!

It's hard to know about treatment unless you know your T3 and T4. If you're both symptomatic and your TSH is 8.8, and FT3 and FT4 support it, you should be treated. Google" hypothyroid symptoms" and bring the checklist to your doctor with you.

A symptom checklist is probably not the best idea, since symptoms of ms overlap with symptoms of a lot of other things. Also many doctors are very suspicious of anyone who has gone online and printed out an "ms symptom" list. Truth. I understand the exhausted and foggy, for sure. One of the things your gp should be doing first is sending you for a sleep study. Also, check vitamin and mineral levels via bloodwork. (Especially B12, D, and magnesium).

good/bad behavior, excessive daydreaming, hyperfocusing, perseveration, hyperactivity, sensory seeking behavior (rocking, banging, jumping, flapping, spinning, etc.), low concentration, low motivation, social awkwardness, communication difficulty, sensory overload, anxiety, irritation, stress, excitement, sound sensitivity, etc. The tracker might also be useful as a checklist for people with executive dysfunction.

What do I ask this time? Last time I went to this Dr.

I fond this ridiculously accurate list, of the most common panic symptoms. If this looks like basically a checklist to you, then its almost definetly anxiety. http://www.npadnews.com/anxiety-symptoms.

m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.

Though I never noticed a rash nor do I have flu like symptoms. Just wondering if any of you have experienced such wide ranging symptoms w/ MS or Lymes. Starting to wonder if I'm going nuts too!
