Depression

Over and over again on threads I have read for years I have heard the word "depressed" or "depression" bantered about like some badge of honor or something. I bet 7 out of 10 people on this forum "suffer" from depression. Don't you like the way we word it; "he suffers from depression".Makes it sound even worse; my God the guy is suffering from depression. I don't know a lot about it but I do know something. Depression is an illness. Whether it is from a chemical imbalance or psycological issues it is an illness. An illness must be treated or it will get worse. Illness are treated by those guys called doctors, you know those guys we go to when we're not feeling well and all he gives us is a pill which is why we actually went to him in the first place. Funny we complain that all they do is give us a pill; I think they started giving out pills when people stop believing in faith healing!
Now what kind of doctor should diagnose and treat the illness of depression? Well your internist or primary care man may give it a shot and give you an rx for xanax or something but honestly he's not really qualified to do that. You need to go to a doctor that is trained to try and fix the mind. He's called a psychiatrist.If you feel that you are suffering from that mental illness that is called depression then you must seek out the guy that was trained in that field. I would respectfully tell my internist if he wanted to treat my depression that although he is qualified to treat many things I would prefer to go to the guy specially trained in this field so please refer me to one. That way I can get my illness cured by the best possible person because depression is hard to cure.
We also have that other type of depression; the self diagnosed depression.These are people that just don't want to do certain things and they use that word to get them out of doing what life call all of us to do.Maybe they are " depressed" and usually they are the first ones to say they are but yet they do nothing about it.Why don't they go to get getter? Do they enjoy being depressed? Maybe they're not depressed at all and just don't want to do things and don't want to be told there is nothing wrong with them. Very similar to the guys that have diagnosed their own ed when the doc tells thm there is nothing physically wrong with them. Yup the doc is wrong; I know I have it!
All I know is that it's a problem.If you feel you're depressed then get the help you need. If you say you're depressed and you don't want help then I have no sympathy for you.You are responsible for the quality of your own life; don't blame depression or anything or anybody else if you don't at least try to get help.What I do feel is very wrong is when people on here all well intentioned tell others that they must be suffering from depression. No they are not doctors, no special training, but they "know" about depression. They don't know the harm they cause others when they say that. Please be careful!

Some people get upset and get depressed for days. That is not depression to me. That is being in a rut. Depression is a lack of chemicals in the brain and begins when they are born. Their depression results in not leaving the house for days at a time. Not contacting people is another symptom. It can last their whole lives.

I'm not a doctor so I might be wrong. I'm just telling you like I see and feel it.

I think that many people here say "depression" as an expression when they feel bad about different situations, but in many cases those are the "normal" depressions for when we have a trouble(in this forum most of them are about penis issues), that is a normal issue for humans like griefs. Griefs usually arent a clinical depression, they are just normal things in people life.
But you are true, to discard a clinical depression (a real ilness) they should go to a psychiatrist.

That's exactly what I USED to be like, I left the house about 3 times in a year at my lowest point and going out was like a BIG deal whether it was something as small as going to the shops round the corner, everything was a nightmare but now I'm NORMAL AGAIN and think what the fuck was that all about and do things with out giving it a second thought and without a worry in the world. I'm back to my old selfish "couldn't give a shit" attitude I had before. Which to me is a good thing

Depression is an illness and it needs to be treated like any other illness. Many do not see it as an illness because it cannot be seen on an x-ray, scan or blood tests. That is unfortunate. Sometimes people go thru a period of depression. Then there are those that suffer all their lives. Some people believe all that is needed is good food and love, not doctors. I agree with Cusp on this.

People with severe depression can eat right and be loved and still be depressed. Trust me.

Excellent post CUSP and I agree 110%. Rep!!

My main point in writing this, and I wasn't drunk as it was far too early, is to remind all of that depression is a serious illness and must be treated.To my buddy1471988 who didn't leave the house for a while ( probably so I couldn't find you and beat you) was that you went to get treatment or someone who cared about you forced you to get the help you needed.Now you 're back to the same old selfish bastard you used to be which may not be such a good thing but who knows. Let's encourage those that are on here that say they're depressed to get help and please let's not diagnose someone on here who may just be feeling down by telling him he has depression as that will do harm!

great post cuspie. I agree 99% with you. Many people in real life, myself included, say im so depressed when we may not mean it. And you're right its not right to do.

I have a lot of conflicting thoughts about these topics and dont know how to organize them, but wil try to share them and cover everything.

There's a lot of suggesting on here that I dont necessarily agree with, but I think should atleast be tolerated because it is educational for the poster. Like the people who say you should demand from your doctor you order this test or that test. While i dont agree with these types of advice, because you should never demand a test because someone on the internet told you,. but it should be tolerated. Depression included. I dont think any doc in his right mind would refuse a referral to a psychiatrist, but he would still be qualified in treating with antidepressants. So why not on that point.

I just didnt like the 1% where you say a general doctor can't diagnose depression. IT's not that hard to. and its not hard to start with a trial of meds for a low depression. Basically, I dont think a doctor should be discredited and not allowed in diagnosing depression.

Second, I agree with you here and on previous posts, many guys here either wrongly self-diagnose ED, Also, some members give advice that you should demand this or that test. I was one of those guys who while the docs never doubted my ED, I wanted the full work up. Like I had to have it or I would go bat shit crazy. I was wrong to, because they were using good judgement in not ordering unnecessary tests for me, but i kept pushing and demanding because some guys on the internet told me i had to get my thyroid checked every 6 months. I was crazy about it. And I see guys on here who do the exact same thing I did. And I dont want them to make the same mistakes i did. And I try to help guys because I was in the position too. So thats why I give that advice to some guys, esp. the ones like you said the docs say they dont have it.

thats it for now. I'm really glad you brought this up, and I support your position 99%.

You said many wise things.
However, your post was so long that it made me depressed.

Great post, Cuspie. I agree that one must never take chronic depression lightly. We all experience the blues from time to time. But long-term depression is a whole different story--which reminds me: I wonder if I took my anti-depressant today???

Seriously, I have noticed that severe anxiety can lead, in fact, often leads to depression. And we sure as hell live in an anxiety-filled world+ these days. The trick is how to deal with normal anxiety so that it does not end up causing chronic depression.
