What Is Depression? Do You Have Depression?

[andrewevear]

depression isnt treatable in my eyes. been depressed all my life. thanks for the great video.

[mikelmunny]

I have ADHD,Major depression,distymia,ocd,ocpd,s­ocailanxiety disorder and addiction.I live in Canada and psychologists are no0t covered here.Only psychiatrists.Meds don't work forme.Make me afraid I'll hurt myself or someone else.It's why I don't take them.

[cool2t]

[CoronaMage]

I guess Im depressed then

[KiDFRANKKK]

dumb bitch just sits there and goes "hmmm..yeaa...hmmm...uhhuh....­yeaaa"

[xoFadingStarox]

Okay, here's a question. How do you know if you have depression or it's just teenage hormones?

[MsMurderxoxo]

I've been feeling like this for almost 3 years and I've tried to kill myself 3 times...Now that I watched this video I'm ready to tell someone. Thank you so much!

[Asra1997]

sooo... im 13 and maybe 9 months ago i started getting sad, and i love to play soccer ive been playing it for 7 years. but then i didnt want to play it anymore. and i also was on swimteam, and ive been on it for 3 years and i quit because i.... i dont really know why. and now it takes me 2o mins. to get up to go to school and i love to eat, but lately im not hungryas much and when i do eat i get sick to my stomache. Do i have depreesion, cause im pretty sure i do. please right back.

[Sungkawa]

when Ever I'm down I listen to Nike ardilla,

and open a bottle of Black label and smoke a pack of Ji Sam Soe

[sinichiechizen]

i always feel down because someone is always greater than me.. and the people around me says she is greater and they dont even think that they could hurt me when they say that

[HaloAsReligion]

@sinichiechizen i feel your pain.. i'm there too.

[sinichiechizen]

@HaloAsReligion thank you.. haaahhh... the worst is.. one told me that is my friend...

[HaloAsReligion]

@sinichiechizen yeah sucks been there..

[sinichiechizen]

@HaloAsReligion yeahh...

[satbir129]

I dont have activities i enjoy....o.o.....finding a hobby is so much harder than it sounds

[KauniRaine]

Does anyone ever get times where there's loads of stuff to keep you entertained but you lack enthusiasm to actually do anything?  I've been like this for a few weeks now and it's really starting to bug me. =(

[bomerman104]

i feel very depressed almost 24/7 but there is nothing that i hate more than having to talk about w\my self and why i am feeling down

[THEFALLEN093]

i need you to destroy the internet for ever it needs to go its wasting life im serious

[hardcoremetroid158]

Well basically I've 1, had a very decreased apetite especially for a teenager 2, all the games and activities I usually do have lost appeal, and finally I have been having what kindod is described as chest pains/ heartburn

Idk what to do

[TheArt0fReaz0n]

So much negativity in the comments. I guess it's true: "No good deed goes unpunished." I'm really not concerned enough to check weather Adam is a real doctor or not. The main thing here is that you're trying to good things. I think having guest speakers is something you should do more often, and yes, broaden the topic range to important life issues beyond dating. Just don't go inviting some quack like, ooooh, Kent Hovind, LOL!!!

[MegaPMetal]

doctor my ass

[sh2000ca]

are you fucking the dr. who by the way isnt a real doctor, and doesnt even have a phd, cuz of that gay ass ninja tatoo!

psychologist my ass.. wheres your creditnitals asshole

[x3r9g6]

I have all those symptoms but i blame it on 2 things:

1. I used drugs in highschool and it's hard to feel that same euphoria when you're clean.

2. Adults have so many responsibilities......life isn't supposed to be this stressful.

[sh2000ca]

man your talking about my life x3r9g6, you and me should get together, because i did the same crap too!!!!!!!! and now no euphoria, plus all the responsibility of adult life

[x3r9g6]

i know, man......but I found a solution:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

I've been playing that all week and i feel fuckin great!

[13oogie]

haha, i have the same problems, i tried playing some games but it just wont help.

[x3r9g6]

i think adrenaline is a good replacement......get an adrenaline rush and you'll feel way better for the next couple days or so.

[jimmaayyyyy]

LOL

[mudphud8]

holy shit, according to this I'm depressed. I've been feeling it recently, but honestly I just push through it and be alone. I do this because I don't want my parents or friends to find out that I'm having trouble with my life. I don't want to burden them, so I'll fix and get through this myself. But yea, this vid made me feel more proactive about dealing w/my depression. Tomorrow I'm writing a plan out to conquer this.

[MrPinoy91]

:DD VAnae! For those who feel depressed they should look up TD jakes and Joel Osteen.

really great people who help me cast down depression.

[FeelSweet7]

wow.. i like when you say get into hobbies ..but why are there only 110 ratings?? is there something broken on youtube? ^^

[johnnydemonic1313]

this girl is wonderful.she needs to think about writing a book one day on all the great advice she gives out to the world.2 thumbs up!

[probounderxxx]

what if u have no trust with anyone ?? after this video I realised I had all those symthomps...

I still think im not depressed but watching this made me realise I might be depressed but im not...or yes or ....well right now I have like 40 hours of college per week and spend around 12-15 hours per day on the computer doing 3d projects and I can barely sleep and stuff...and I started to have a eating prob bec im eating like once per day bec im a hurry doing my homework

[kiwigirl087]

thought this was very helpful addvise, love watching this channel :)

[Arejek]

I don't have a fantastic social life. I get depressed if I don't do all these things: 1. Eat healthy. 2. Exercise regularly and 3. Smoke weed regularly. Thanks to these gifts of nature I can keep most of my sanity in an insane world.

[buzzy0016]

smoking weed isnt a gift,its basicly something that can kill you.stop smoking!

[AnnaLouiseAdams]

:/ ok

[samikalastaja]

You know you are depressed when your life has lost it's meaning and you don't remember the last time when you laughed from the bottom of your heart.

[CoppersTV]

I Dont Get Depressed, i get homocidal... but then i just laugh like amaniac and repress, repress, repress... that is the key to happiness. live in denial... wait until your 20 to live like anything means anything to you. im Loving living in denial... nothing ever gets me down longer thatn 5 or 10 minutes...

[sinr100]

yeah you know your deppresed if your step mom commits suicide because you told her that my dad was cheating on her and that i dont consider her my mother and now your dad is an alcoholic and rapes me every night and makes me have sex with my brother 4 his pleasure yeah im deppresed

[CoppersTV]

tell me thats made up or im callin the fuckin CPS aite?

[slimyoshady]

you're always hideing your right eye...

i don't know why...

i'm gonna try to find out why cuz u don't wanna tell me why r u hideing your right eye

[0oTixxiTo0]

you know your depressed if...

you love your boyfriend and your friends are black mailing you to break up with him, and when you did he ends up in the hostipital from cutting, and you get back together with him and your friends hate you for it, and then you find out that his dad beats him and he drinks, and that he has a kid... and that you are willing to be in emotional pain for the one guy i ever loved...

ya i am depressed

[amarilisbaby1]

your "friends" arent friends if they dont want to see you happy

your the one dating him not them

[CoppersTV]

Do you need a hug? cuz ill send you a hug. (fake but still counts kinda) :)

[bqureshi390]

you may be depressed if..

ur bro is addicted to xanax and has an alcohol abuse problem and while everybody is out havin a good time ur stuck at home watchin ur mom cry cuz the bro is severely effed up and the dad doesn't give a sh** and makes things worse and all u can do is just watch as the family world burns.

yeah, im effin depressed.

[bqureshi390]

well, hes obviously depressed too which led to that, but certainly brought me down with him and this whole idea of existence is just obsolete.

[Hoodyrulez]

thanks vanae

youre a sweety =3

[ctfc92]

Crazy

I'm not bandit

But i bang clips and leave your forehead in a bandage

Standard

[eazybihi11]

:) }{

[gfunk449]

thank you for this.

[hsk8787]

haha

vanae,

ur cute, but ur head is pretty big 'relatively'

cute in a cartoon charactor way

=]

[hheeyy]

it's not easy talking about depression and you may not have someone close enough to confide in, trust me i understand. i'm going through a few things, but i noticed that when i go to the gym my mind isn't focused on all the dark, crazy, and complicated thoughts running through my head. my mind is just concentrating on the next set. i find it kinda therapeutic. so i strongly agree to do something proactive.

[SHADOWS113]

Vanae can you say "ice cream" =D i love the way you say it =)

[Guest1001]

I prefer the way she says "upfrank". =) Definitely my favourite Vanae-ism.

[handsumangel]

Thanks for that. I've been depressed for like 2years now. I have to see a psych. I don't feel like doing anything when I get home from anywhere. Appetite is not good either. Ughh.

But I try to pump myself up somehow. Thnks Vanae.

[dougaholic]

I actually went through depression for a while, i saw a psychologist and it really helped. my father had depression for years though

[lnstrumentalist]

My god, that smile on that guy is so fucking creepy.

Holy shit.

[pianist231]

how do you see out of your other eye when you hairs covering it

[vanae12]

just as simple as how i see the future.

clearly.

[seansiewsarran]

@vanae12 .. u sound like a jedi there.. lol

[xdarkkilllrx]

Tell that to the ones that can't even talk to girls. What vanae suggested was fine. Please think before posting, thanks! :)

[ShreddingSoobs]

AGREED!!!!!

[sanchopanza123]

already emailed, didnt get response, too bad.

[anthonycorral]

To me, depression is conquerable. It takes patience and belief. I also think there is a difference between physical depression and mental or emotional depression. They can both be bad, but one is definitely more painful than the other.

[soni408]

I think if someone is feeling depressed for no reason then they need to seek counseling of some sort....If the reason is known to the person say loss of loved one break up or something then that is normal and I wouldn't say it's unhealthy as long as the person grieves and moves on. Ofcoarse knowingly feeding dwelling on negative emotions is always bad.

[xdarkkilllrx]

Vanae12 why can't there be more nice girls like you these days? :(

[Cavetroll100]

Thank you, Vanae. Once again you give me a quick look at what I couldn't see myself. And finally a solution! (This isn't just for teens, just like they said, this can go on. And on.)

[xxxprincessforlifexx]

everything is cliché

[gigicat21]

live love laugh! haha. Tell yourself your "feeling great" and you will.. just think of all the people that have it worse than you. Suck it up .. and tell yourself everything is GREAT!!!

[junhaoblurshit]

omg i think i am suffering frm depression ...

[Karakuma]

it's pronounced like lekka lee :) (think i made it harder, but search for any interwievs with her in swedish and you'll hear the real pronounciation ;) )

[th3inquisitiv31]

sorry, but this is so cliché

[Guest1001]

Uhh . . . advice is cliché?

[Futumch]

If Vanae were just posting vids about health awareness, I might be inclinced to agree. But V goes out and coaches people, has an open line for advice (within America, dammit), and clearly practices what she preaches. (keep it up!)

So, you know - gotta give the woman props. Even if her "mhm"s and nods in this vid are *definitely* cliché. Grin-worthy, though :)

[th3inquisitiv31]

my comment was only in regards to the typical advice given for/ about depression and wasn't necessarily a comment about Vanae herself.

And I know Vanae is the shit, that's why I subscribed. . . .

[Futumch]

Fair enough.

I have to sympathise with the good doctor as well, though. When you've read the DSM-IV (the cookbook of symptoms he's using) and case studies about depression treatments, you realise that there is very little non-cliched advice that can be given to *all* people with depression. I thought the exercise angle was kind of fresh, actually.

[Mardolin]

The solution for the Problem is medication, right?

[AyeJreem]

depends on the level of it i guess

[vanae12]

no. the solution for depression is:

- talking about it

- exercising

- make the decision to not be depressed anymore

- seeing a professional (therapist)

- hang out w/ good friends

[Mardolin]

ye vanae, but what if you don't like exercising

and what if you don't have good friends? ;)

It's a bit complicated...I don't have a job, and I woun't get one if i'm so fucking depressed all the time....i screw every interview up... no money + no job = depression..

No Money = No professional = depression goes on.... what should i do? ;)

[streetyang99]

I hope I don't sound sarcastic when I type this but,in other words,

get a life!

get motivated

thats what my mum told me?

[xsarahgallagherx]

@vanae12 and eating the right foods!

[Guest1001]

I know this is a little off-topic but I'm looking forward to part three, Vanae. ^_^ Just the title has me intrigued (and, in my opinion as a male, should females initiate? Yes! Most definitely. Being male and not having a single woman interested you in a bar of two dozen can be depressing and would personally cause me to develop an aversion to it).

But more of that next video! Good to see Dr Adam again.

[chauchau]

As a psych student myself, I probably encounter those major depression periods once through my undergrad years. Other than that, I normally follow Barney Stinson's motton:

When I get sad I stop being sad and be AWESOME instead. True story

[CraftingaDillinger]

Barney Stinson's got the best advice.

[aante9111]

i dont know if im really horny or if im inlove.

and no i never feel sad

[surfbum482]

what is the song that plays for your intro right before it says "Lets do this!"?

[gorillabang79]

Long term relationships make me depress, anything longer than a month makes me so sad.

[XilenceSR]

Nice, seems that I am depressed =O. Almost all symptoms apply to me..

Oh and I think females should initiate, for the shy guys out there.

[penutwi]

who dosent have depression at times???

[benzjamin13]

I find that if I don't work out, I get depressed

[communityschannel]

omg! me too!!

[twinklestarr2]

I like listening to you :) Thank you
