Common Questions and Answers about Depression test symptoms of depression

depression

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn In my opinion the very best way to treat a thyroid patient is to test and adjust levels of the actual biologically active thyroid hormones (free T3 and free T4) with whatever type of medication is necessary to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels. Symptom relief should be all important. Many members report that symptom relief for them required that FT3 was adjusted into the upper part of its reference range and FT4 adjusted to at least midpoint of its range.
Avatar n tn t have depression as well but this sounds like a neurological disability to me as many of the symptoms are way outside of the range of what is classed under depression or any other psychiatric disability. And many neurological disabilities can cause mental changes such as psychosis or depression. It almost sounds like multiple sclerosis to me with the lack of coordination, dizziness and slurred speech and that can cause mood changes but a neurologist would know much more.

Avatar f tn t have symptoms suggestive of heart problems like chest pain or shortness of breath, the chances that you will pass the stress test are really really high. And it is better to find out early rather than later because most things in cardiology if detected early can be completely cured. Good luck.
Avatar f tn 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.

365138 tn?1234483419 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.
1673455 tn?1305212120 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.

Avatar m tn I am so tired of feeling like this. These symptoms make my depression worse. I feel like my thyroid may be out of wack and I just want to change that. I do not think my doctor did a full thyroid panel, but would the T3 test normally show abnormalities with symptoms like these? I am not gaining any weight, but I am not loosing any either. I actually put on a little bit of weight these past couple of weeks, but thats becuase of my depression and my eating habits during that time.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
