depression symptoms for young adults

Singulair could cause depression & suicide for some people that used it.

I think you have it backwards -- drugs can only help so much, it's therapy that is a cure if there is a cure. It's also well recognized that most childhood anxiety is of a different nature than the chronic anxiety that affects adults. These meds were never tested on children nor approved for children, so are used off-label. I'd do anything to avoid meds for adults, and even more so for children.

I was wondering if any other young adults have been diagnosed with colon polyps? I'm a 34/f who was recently diagnosed with a 1.1 cm "Tubulovillous adenoma" during a colonoscopy (was seeing blood/mucous in stool for about 6 months). The lab report came back that it was benign, and my GI doctor said follow up with him in 3 years. From what my GI doctor told me, and what I've read about these, they are considered precancerous. Following up in 3 years makes me nervous.

I worry about her having increased suicidal thoughts, as I have read this can be a bad side effect for young adults and children. She said she really is not considering suicide, but to hear my baby even talk of it is very concerning. Please let me know what you think.

Ok so i posted a question a couple days ago about this dizzy feeling ive been having for the past week or so. And now.. well im worried that i am dying. Here are the symptoms ive been having. -I havent been wanting to spend as much time with my family or friends. And i want to be alone more -I dont feel like doing alot of thing i used to love doing. -Ive been having a couple of heat flashes where i would sweat a little bit and then it would go away.

Lulu when I begin to feel really sorry for myself, I think about children and young adults with MS. Then I realize how blessed I was to raise my family. I got to do so many things before this monster came into my life I just had to say this because to see MS and children on the same line just makes me sad. If I have a hard time understanding the "why" I wonder how they manage at such young ages. Maybe this study will prove helpful. Maybe soon we will have a cure.

Depression in children It was earlier believed that children and young adolescents are incapable of experiencing depressive symptoms and hence cannot suffer from depression. It is possible that many cases of childhood depression were being treated as school phobia or behavioural or temperamental aberrations.

Is it normal finding white appearenc of the retina in young adults?

i mean im a medical student i studied a psychiatric course and what i read from many lectures about depression is it says one of the etiology is genetic! so do i have higher risk for depression than someone whose mother is not depressed?

My daughter (15 years old) has been recently prescribed 50mg Zoloft for mild depression. I am very scared that this is not the right way to deal with the problems that she has and in particular scared of side effects and withdrawal dramas eventually. Do you have any suggestions how I could help her deal with depression without the medication and is Zoloft very dangerous to start with?

The good thing about being so young is that your resilliancy has the capability of being higher than most adults. An adolescents will and imagination are tools that can be used to escape extremes that many adults couldn't tackle. The bad thing is when you have noone else to talk to but yourself it is hard to find the right answer. I knew what it was like not to have an escape from the deppression when I was young and I know what it is like as an adult.

I agree with Maddie.....medications can affect people differently, and one of the possible effects of these kinds of medications can be anger, irritability, mood swings. The fact that you're 16 makes those things more likely. Often times, these medications have kind of an opposite effect on younger adults and teens than they do on adults, which is why there must be caution when putting a young person on an antidepressant. I have to say that I'd urge you to find a new doctor.

s not an easy one for adults. But if the depression has not been treated, it will still be there, and again, drugs don't treat it, they tamp down the symptoms. At that age I'm surprised therapy wasn't tried first, but so it goes.

While there are a few surgical procedures/ phalloplasty, that may help increase the size of the penis these are often not required and neither advised in the absence of a functional abnormality. Erectile dysfunction can develop in young adults due to a variety of causes.

One of the common side effects of antidepressants, more common in young people but also in adults, are violent and suicidal thoughts. Sometimes a particular antidepressant can be very stimulating as well for some people, and Prozac is one known for that. That can increase your anxiety rather than help tamp it down. Much of this typically happens during the early phase of taking the drug and can stop over time, but it can also just be that this is not the proper medication for you.

This forum is for people suffering from anxiety/panic/depression/OCD etc. While I have no doubt the fear that your son hates you causes some anxious moments in your life, I can't help but think that your question/concern would be better served on another forum such as the Parenting Forum. It's very possible you did not receive any responses because those of us here simply have no experience with what you're dealing with and feel we can't be of any help to you.

This actually is pretty common with some of those types of meds with teens and young adults. It could be that they just need to change your med to something different. It could also be that if you depression meds are making your symptoms worse, that is why the anxiety meds are not helping as much as they should - because your other symptoms are increased, it's kinda like they're working against one another.

It sounds as if your school nurse may be correct. There are some people in the mental health community that think it's impossible for a very young teen agers to suffer from Clinical Depression. I think that's a bunch of **** because I was also very young when I was diagnosed with Severe Depression and I still fight with it to this day. Are you also suffering from a lot of Anxiety along with this depression? Panic Attacks, racing thoughts, trembling, Ect....

I am taking Cymbalta and Welbutrin for depression. These have been controlling it farily well for the past several months. I also take Yaz birth control daily. I just had a period a week and a half ago. I have mood swings, the hot spells, no libido or any kind of drive. The symptoms have grown in intensity in the past couple of weeks. My husband has joked that I am starting menopause....I'm only 26.

I agree with opus. You need to get many opinions. I think there may be an underlying cause, more physical than mental. I feel this, because your child has always had issues that may have just been blown off as being "late" in development. I don't think any reputable pediatric psychiatrist would not just throw drugs at your child, and they are the most knowlegable when it comes to the effects of doing so.
