I originally brought him to the doctor since he was feeling pretty bad, alternated between warm clammy skin to being very cold, including a wide range of other symptoms, including depression. Since autoimmune thyroid runs in the family, checking the thyroid is where we started.
Yes, these are all symptoms of type I diabetes in children. My child was wetting the bed, extremely thirsty all the time and was vomiting; his vomiting, we think, was contributed to a stomach virus he had at the time. We took him to the ER due to dehydration -they did a blood chemistry and his blood sugar was 399-they immediately admitted him to ICU and he was put on IV insulin. He's been a diabetic now for 3 years-he's now 9. He's has handled it amazingly well!
Ok, So I was diagnosed in December 2012, after suffering symptoms of blurred vision, short term memory problems, and fatigue. I've had two mri's, the initial mri and one also to check for flow which wasn't too great. Then in January, my husband and I found that we were expecting our 3rd child which meant surgery had to wait, but also since I was able to manage my symptoms with a daily nap and had plenty of energy that surgery was up to me.
Smoking although clearly a good idea to stop does of course have withdrawal symptoms and also in noting why people with schizophrenia often smoked scientists are studying a new generation of antipsychotics based on the effects of nicotine (without the harmful effects). Clinical findings aside stopping smoking is rough for anyone so you can expect things to be difficult for a while and for standard symptoms from bipolar to worsen for a while.
He had his 1st surgery in Aug 2011 and a duraplasty in March 2012. His symptoms were quite severe which included screaming for hours especially in the nights, drop attacks, urinary problems etc., He was also diagnosed with 'epileptic form dysfunction' in September 2012. We see a neurologist, neurosurgeon and a sleep study doctor. His recent sleep study showed sleep apnea. His headaches have now returned and I notice them being especially bad when he cries.
Simple exercise while lying in bed or sitting in front of the TV -- try leg raises, bicep curls and walking in place. I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 11 years and lost 100 pounds with great results. Just walking around the block gave me great pain relief and removed all signs of depression. It took months just to get to the corner but it helped after concentration and prayer during the walk. Buy a walkman or mp3 player.

Just recently I have been extremely tired all the time, no matter how long I sleep. I've been nauseous on and off and I have had crazy mood swings and it is effecting the way I act towards the children I baby sit. I have headaches, a fever, and recently i've been having this numbness in my hand and then this firey sensation like someone has set my hand on fire. I have hot flashes and I can't concentrate.
To diagnose the underlying cause and origin of vertigo in children, an MRI or CT scan of the brain and skull are usually recommended. In addition, your child also undergo a complete physical and examination by a physician with special focus on a test known as the Dix-Hallpike maneuver which will help to narrow the complication into either nerve damage or brainstem involvement.
To be honest, you sound like yes, you are having symptoms of depression and anxiety. Covid can have after symptoms but for someone that has had covid twice, I wouldn't go there to think you do. There are other things going on and a history with you that would make me think more mental health. What CAN you do? Well, what about digging into the mental health aspect? A psychologist who does dbt/cbt therapy?
I've been in a dark corner lately what are symptoms you have/get from depression??
Therapy and meds can work so well if you find the right therapist and you are on the correct medication.Alot of people try and deal with depression in silence--it doesn't work.
Hi, I'll look at the other post. But this post really speaks to me. Depression in children can be very scary. And very real. I'll look at your other post.
I have had depression before but never when I have been pregnant, I was on antidepressants for a year after having my daughter. The entire time I have been pregnant there have been ups and downs which is what you'd expect with your hormones. However for the past month I have been in a constant down. Me and my baby daddy split up two months ago, I have only now just come to terms that I'm going to be a single mum of a nearly two year old and a newborn.
Hi there. Many of these issues show themselves over time. We diagnose some things also by symptoms such as depression. Can't really test for that before symptoms arise. PTSD is under the anxiety umbrella but typically has an event attached to it that caused the trauma. However, anxiety is a component of that and this is a chemical imbalance that someone could have. However, again, someone must present with symptoms to be screened for it.
com and realized it is recommended for OCD in children, but not depression. It goes on, stating that in clinical trials there were no connections between zoloft and suicide in children either with OCD or drepression. I want to help my daughter be happy, but why would the psychiatrist place her on a medication which is not approved by the FDA??
I think depression can be a combination of things - both physical and emotional. I used to get mind blowing headaches, which was partly caused by my depression, and then because I had them, it made me feel emotionally worse. It's a nasty cycle. From what you've described, you've been under a ton of stress, getting married is up there in the stress meter! I know when I've been ill, which I went through recently, it sure made my mood drop.
I am a pretty emotional guy, with some already present anxiety issues and emerging from depression earlier this year. So, this is going to be extra tough. Hang in there with me guys! Thanks again.
Congrats to all of you who are a step ahead of me, you give me hope!
