[Discussion] Depression

[kekerot]

So I have been fighting with depression(family traumas) for some time now. And I am about to start using some anti-depression medications which can help me. Well until now I have never been able to study normally because I would always have dark thoughts and fear would strike me so I would always keep telling myself: "you cant solve this problem and you never will" and with my concentration problem that would pretty much destroy my score. So nowadays I would just try to avoid studying because of the fear from failing. So if there is someone who has been on these meds please tell me how much will it help me with my learning and concentration. h:

I have never taken meds but I have gone through depression like 5 years ago.

I have depression but don't take meds for it. I can't help you with that sorry.

I'd advise not taking medication, willpower can help you though.

I wish I could help you, because I too have suffered depression due to family trauma, but I have fought it of my own free will.

Meds don't help much, believe me.
It takes weeks before they actually start to have atleast some kind of effect.

It all starts and ends in the head, you have to get rid of the root, not just fight the symptoms with pills.

Take them, they will help a bit but don't expect a wonder.

If you want more information on depression, therapeutic interventions, and psychotropic drugs you can send me a PM.

Well, I can't really give you any direct advice but.......

You say you have these problems, judging from everything you said it's also apparent that you're a student.
Most, if not all schools have remedial teachers of sorts.
Try and get in contact with one of them, they should be able to help you a million times better with your problems than us.
That is, assuming you have the courage to talk to them and spill the beans.
