depression treatment goals

How many of you have ever decided to not have any goals in life because you've been beaten down too much by life to have the energy to have any? Is this a sign I'm getting depressed? I haven't been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or depression or any mood disorder of the kind (except anxiety) but I thought it would be appropriate to ask people who experience depression regularly. I'm going to be going through a divorce so... yeah...

Exercise is almost like medicine for some people! Working on yourself in a positive and proactive way. Making goals, small goals. 1 percent changes add up. If depression is pervasive, it's important to reach out for help. Talk therapy is excellent. CBT works on how we think. Things like addressing distorted thought, reframing things, etc. DBT works on coping skills like breathing, grounding, etc. And adding medication to these can really help some people as well.

Hi, I am 19 years old. I think I start to have depression when I was 10 years old. So currently it is already 9 years for me. Currently I am now studying in private college but I start to live by myself and didn't join any clubs. I graduated my diploma in 19 and within my college life, I didn't join any student clubs so when other people are enjoying, I feel like I am suffering.

You do not have to feel like this. This is classic depression and there is treatment available, this treatment works very well for a lot of people and you can live a full and happy life again.

It would be a good idea to make an app't with your doctor and see what the options are from there. It's hard to figure out to help you with just one sentence, but have a chat with your family doctor, and depending on what's going on, you may get a referral to a psychiatist. You may also want to look at joining a depression support group, depending on what issues you are going through. Educate yourself on depression, there are a few types and being educated will be really helpful.

What are some goals u guys think a young (20) 1st time mom should want to accomplish? Other than being a good mother of course.... Like school, work, personal life goals... My life kinda seems to be at a stand still since my baby girl isn't here yet so I'm trying to get a list of goals.

I'm 2 months post tx, dealt with a little post tx depression, getting through that, out of the blue this week, my fingers are going numb at night when I sleep, I wake up with the numb tingly fingers and have to move them around to get them back, and then they go back to sleep later. Also still have the itchy, crawly skin. Is this normal?

I am in my sixties and otherwise healthy and life is passing me by,.I take a lot of meds for panic and depression, but nothing is really helping. i stay in bed most of the day...everyday. Please help.

If its an issue of substance abuse that has to be addressed first. That can easily set back your recovery. You should go to a dual recovery group for a person with substance abuse and depression. As well you can speak to your psychiatrist about your primary treatment. Google "Depression Central" for more information. But if you were feeling okay and had a relapse then its more the substance abuse issue although there might be more going on.

) but soon those symptoms will die down, and you will think about the positives of having a baby, not just the negatives, you will develop new goals in life or put the ones you have on a new timeline and everything will seem much brighter. if you remain active and eat right, your baby will probably not ruin your body, just when you are eating for two remember one of them is smaller than your hand and really only needs a bagel more food a day!

I cry myself to sleep almost every night. And more than once I have seriously considered suicide. I have goals, and I know that i dont want to die. Every time I get to that place again I remind myself of all that i have to live for and I dont pop the pills. But I just feel like im dragging myself through life and im never going to be worth anything. I dont want to live in this hurt anymore, and I dont know what to do about it.

is a good goal to start with, but treatment may allow you to set even higher goals like building the life you want for the future.

You can call a physicians hot line and inquire about therapist who deal with anxiety, panic and depression and are knowledgable of the medications that are used for the treatment of these issues. Medications are wonderful tools to help cope with the symptoms of anxiety or depression, but they only mask the symptoms, they don't cure the root cause of what's underneath those symptoms. Meds can be a tremendous adjunct to therapy.

Exercise, counseling, medication (one for sleep and one for depression), treatment programs...I have cut before but I will never do that again...

I have this amazing boyfriend, fantastic. We both enjoy a good sex life, and we are bestfriends at that. It doesn't seem it could get any better. But we have different goals in life. I want to become a Musical psychologist. His plans are to move to another place but not have enough money to actually stay there just get there and have a kid. The sooner the better. He plans to live in his car until he can find a job and he hopes for a child before this.

s, 2009 was a heck of a ride for me, but one of the things i did to keep my self focused on getting back up, was the little and sometimes huge goals i set for myself, does anybody else do this? Well some of you will remember my 2009 episode began in April, from day one i set goals, even if it was ok 2 steps before you touch the wall this time, I even got back to doing a run at one stage.

took notice of what foods made me feel like crap after eating it and others that gave a me a bounce. When you set these goals and challenges you will feel successful and physically you will feel better too. Also set rewards for yourself after maintaining your challenges: Pedicure, new shoes, buy a new nail polish color, new outfit. Something fun! When your thinking of your challenges don't always take things away and don't always make it something physical.

Hi there, You use a few words asking for the solution to depression really. It's not that easy to describe but I'll try a dot point for you and others can add to it. May be meaningless points but if so ask what it means. . identifying you have a problem, . defining the problem for yourself, . getting a medical diagnosis, . Agreeing with and fully accepting the diagnosis, . Accepting the need to get help, as in treatment, and support, .

Neatly illustrated by an older woman we have been seeing in the clinic for a couple of years - she came in with a SEVERE depression which led her psychiatrist to recommend ECT as the only option. Her Beck Depression Inventory score was 45, very high. Over the course of our work with her she got down to a Beck score of 8 (not clinically depressed - still very mildly depressed but not at the level of a diagnosis of major depression).
