depression symptoms nhs

I have found personally that I get a lot of physical symptoms with depression. I have myself had a CAT scan for pains, but all was negative. I eventually accepted it was all connected with my depression. Funny things can happen that make us believe we are physically ill, and yet it is all due to depression. If you think this is not true in your case, then worry your doctors until they do something.

- I have been receiving counselling for alcoholism and depression since a month or so before the symptoms started. I'll be the first to admit that I have been extremely unhappy and stressed over the last year, however my alcohol consumption has been hugely reduced in the last four months (maximum drinking one day per week, not heavily). My mood and general outlook are now much much better than I was at my worst (and when the symptoms started).

Okay so I've had issues with depression way before becoming pregnant. And now being pregnant I of course cannot take my meds. Has anyone else dealt with depression issues before/during pregnancy? No certain reason behind them, just depressed. And does it usually cause you to be more at risk for post partum depression? How can I deal with this easier? Now and once my little man is here?

Hyperhidrosis may be congenital or an acquired trait. Congenital means you are born with it, while an acquired trait means you are not; the condition is acquired later in life after birth. Hyperhidrosis may be categorized as being the result of an underlying health condition, or with no apparent cause: Primary idiopathic hyperhidrosis - there is no apparent cause. Idiopathic means "of unknown cause". In the majority of cases the hyperhidrosis is localized.

Hi I have some symptoms that are causing me concern. I have an increase in white patches on my skin and after extensively googling as to what it could be I have narrowed it down to vitiligo or morphea which I believe are both caused by autoimmune illness. I don't see my doctor about this until Thursday so that he can know for sure what my skin problem is.

ve been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, feel depressed a lot of the time and cut regularly. I go for therapy with the NHS but I still feel terrible. Does anyone know how I can start to feel better?

While those are some of the many symptoms of depression, "like Leftcoast said" that can be hard to detrmine. To me it sounds like mild to moderate Depression. Matbe mild bi-polar symptoms. Then again you are very young and at 13 to 14 your body is transitioning from adolesence to adult. For femails especially this can be a rough transition and can manifest an overload of emotions dure to hormone changes in your body.

After stating these few things about its physiological role, my intended message is that it is not a test to be used to diagnose, or monitor depression, but can be used when the patient shows signs and symptoms physically, of a high or low level. It is very complex, and currently being researched, but is not well understood by many physicians at this point. I hope this was informative, and not just more confusing.

I then developed a white coating on my tongue. I attended an NHS clinic in London and had the 4th generation duo test six weeks after exposure, it was negative. I have had no other sexual activity since this incident and have returned to the NHS clinic for a further 4th generation duo test after three months from exposure, this test was again negative. My sporadic prickly heat (intense burning) and rash to parts of my body and white tongue still persist.

At the age of 19, I had a bout of depression and was given and short course of tablets. When asking about counselling for the OCD, anxiety and depression, I was told, "sorry we don't provide it". 18 months later I feel overloaded with rituals and anxiety. I lie in bed for as long as I can until I have no option but to get up and start the exhausting day all over again.

Now unlike most nights this was very severe anxiety that depression was kicking in, ie unexplained crying, thoughts of death, thoughts that you are alone... Now mentally last night I started shaking and had an urge to rub my body and legs. I thought I could be getting symptoms of heart failure, or suffering a heart from a heart attack.

I have suffered from depression since 1985 and after non stop antidpressants, my depression took on different and more severe symptoms and I was rediagnoised as Bipolar. I have gone thru numerous antidepressants over the years. I finally have found a p-doc that approaches my MI agressively. I have been switched to different medications every 2 weeks until we finally found the correct "cocktail" of medication to treat my symptoms. I am currently taking 300 mg.

Endo not interested in my microadenoma or symptoms which are put down to cfs (bucket syndrome by nhs). So frustrating. I have pretty much given up now. Have you ad to notify dvla? I will have to now, concerned re outcome. Lost job too..grrrrr.

Hi I am from the UK but currently live in the US so know how both systems work. I would recommend seeing the specialist privately in the UK. It's usually not too expensive and you can be seen within days. For something like your eyes, this is a good investment believe me. In the US, you can see whoever you want......but believe me also when I tell you the bills are scary. Even with insurance! Don't hate on the NHS just yet.

My Story I’m trying to think back now to where I think all this began – probably around 8 years ago now, I experienced a couple of periods of strange symptoms, the main one being a light headed and floaty feeling. This would go on for a month or so, and then dissappear as quickly as it arrived. At this time I was very fit, played football 4 times a week, and generally felt on top of the world, as a young 25 year old lad should.

Stress to your doctor how good you feel, and that you have not had any hyper symptoms but feel that all your hypo symptoms have dissipated. Consider sharing this study with your doctor as well: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1366242 "It is theoretically possible that patients receiving exogenous L-thyroxine for primary hypothyroidism should have suppressed TSH levels if physiological needs are constantly met.

Yes it does to me and though the cause of it may be a bit different (and still under study) when depression is at extreme people can feel incapable of any action or many normal feelings at all but as things improve a bit and people have the ability to act at all they can become suicidal and that is the time of most concern. If you feel that way its best to speak to a psychiatrist immediately and if you feel in any way you would act on those thoughts go to a hospital where you would be safe.

d get a few week and they would be completely debilitating. After a few visits to the GP, I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and given sertraline as he thought the migraines were due to stress. I was doubtful, but it significantly reduced the amount of migraines I would get - down to 1 or 2 a month. However, in march 2017 I developed a persistent headache. Some days it would be mild (around 2 or 3/10 pain score).

K for possible phsychological issues including Depression/Anxiety. Accepting this is probably my issue, but cannot at the moment control the worries. I wanted to know if anyone knows if the 'STANDARD H.I.V ANTIBODY' tests used in the U.K by the NHS would be the same as the ones generally used in the U.S?? If I need to test to relieve anxiety, like anyone I want a 'SIGNIFICANT' level of reassurance A.S.A.P.
