depression symptoms of depression

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.

I thought for certain that all of these things were because of my quit. I am so grateful to have stumbled onto this forum as I had another 3 months of illness before it stopped! The people here were the ones that got me through it.....teko & Jade as well as some others, they are why I was so successful in my quit. My family never knew I was "quit" until it was about 2 months time.

Hair loss does not sound like depression, but then we are all different when it comes to the symptoms. Certainly irrability is a sign of depression, but then it could just be stress. Only a doctor can tell you this.

I have been having this problem for the past 2 years. The symptoms include lots of irritation, frustration, a little depression, mood-swings, stomach ache, lots of gas release, sometimes body-ache and lots of weakness!!. Recently My scalp become bald and lost hair. please help i am just 24 years old. I hope you are able to diagnose it!

All of your symptoms are all good signs of depression/anxiety disorders. I have been struggling with this most of my life, off and on since I was 14 (now 23). Don't let if fool you, it may come and go for a while and doctors may say that you have "bi-polar disorder". I don't believe in prescription antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication, as I have tried a multitude of them in my teen years and none of them helped.

Can constant popping, clicking and cracking joints with pain really be a symptoms of anxiety and depression? I am just so scared that their is something else causing my symptoms? @Mammo-you're right. I'm letting my life pass me by and I'm wasting it worrying about my health. I just do not know how to make all of these symptoms go away and get my life back. I just don't know what to do. I have no where to turn.

We are not all sure this diagnoses is correct based on other symptoms of schizo.that are not present. We are just trying to get some answers and figure out what is going on. Second opinions are usually great, but we are not really sure how this person should go about getting one seeing that it is several months after the fact. If anyone has a thought on that we would appreciate it.

Anti-depressents WILL NOT make the depression go away...it will just make the SYMPTOMS of depression fade a little. THerapy helps to sort out whats going through your mind and helps build you up to be a happier and stronger person. Medicine and therapy combined is the absolute best treatment for anxiety/depression. Also, think of it like this...if you go to a psychologist or therapist or whatever...their job is to talk to people in difficult situations and they have heard EVERYTHING.

Just wondering how you can tell if your suffering depression as I don't know how to tell the difference between it and normal pregnancy symptoms. Please help...

My Dr hase prescibed me Oxynorm 5mg, once a day, incase I experience withdrawal symptoms. I have suffered from depression all my life and are on anti-depressants at the moment, Fluoxitine 60mg once a day. Since reducing the Oxcontin I have stared to experience extreme bouts, more severe and more often, of depression since I started reducing the Oxycontin. Is that a normal side affect of Oxycontin reduction?

I have been diagnosis with chronic severe depression. And realizing as of lately I have Autism - Asperger's Syndrome. Is there a treatment for this disorder? I take Prozac for the depression.

Anxiety and depression often go hand in hand. Some of us have both. I hope you go to see a doctor and describe your symptoms. It should be a relief to talk about how you are feeling. It is your choice whether you want to take medication. You will know whether you can manage your symptoms without. I have done both.

It seems like depressions as these are the symptoms of depression. There are some more depression symptoms like: Feeling of sadness. Difficulty concentrating hopeless, irritable, anxious Fatigue Decreased energy Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts. If you feel these types of symptoms than it is surely depression otherwise ignore this and enjoy your life.

I decided that I needed to stay on it since I had such a long history of depression. The second time that I went off of it, was to try Savella which many find completely cures their fibromyalgia, but it also has the same properties as an anti-depressant. Due to nausea from the Savella, I couldn't get anywhere near the proper dose for it. I wonder what reasons you have for wanting to get off of it. Good luck.

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.

i have suffered with anxiety and depression for over 30 years. i have been on valium for 10 years. it helped the anxiety but not the depression. last week my stress was so high i felt like a nervous breakdown. my dr. prescribed seroquel 25 to 50 mg five days ago. for the first time i do not feel dpressed or anxiety. i stopped taking the valium when i started the seroquel. my valium has been a very high dose 60mg a day. will i get withdrawl symptoms from stopping the valium?

iIs this still a symptom of depression or Am I already paranoid?i'm seeing things and hear things...like someone calling my name,there was even a time when it was noon I was washing dishes when a woman in white crawled under our dinning table..i went to follow,to prove to myself that there was nothing there...and I was correct!

I guess I'm so to new all of this that I do not understand depression. I never thought of myself as depressed but my daughter has noticed changes in my behavior over the past 3 years. She says that I used to be so outgoing, always on the move but now I'm a recluse. I tend to stick by myself - I've even isolated my family. The weird part is at work I'm still outgoing, and fun-loving. Does the real me come out at home?

Many ppl who suffer from depression have complaints of feeling physically unwell as well. It can vary from anxiety to restlessness, feeling suffocated to pain. Depression affects everyone differently BUT never gets better without treatment. Most depression meds don't address the physical problems so if you are suffering physically make sure you mention it to your dr so that they can be sure to cover all the symptoms.

I have taken every type of anti depressant out there and either they do not help my depression or I cannot tolerate the side effects. Right now I am not taking anything except for something for my anxiety and I need something that will help my depression. I am desperate to find something that will help my depression. I live in Lou, Ky. so if anyone knows of a Dr. that treatments adults with either (if they do work) the ect, or magnetic treatment PLEASE let me know ASAP!

m not scolding you, just trying to make you aware of the dangers of NOT taking your meds! A lot of us have medical conditions we have to deal with, but we do it. My husband has many regrets over ignoring his, and is paying the price for it. I'd hate to see anyone else have to endure what he is right now. Wise up and get yourself healthy in every way, you only get one crack at this life, make the best of it! Take care.

Ughh yeah, I just like to think of it as a bad day..I never want to know what that is because my mom has suffered from depression for many many years and it hurts to see her like that..depression s u c k s!

I have problem of low self esteem, some times feels neutral, not like to do anything. Are this symptoms of clinical depression? Please suggest.
