Recovering from Depression - Part 2

Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. Psychologist, talks about depression. In this video he discusses the how psychology and psychiatry differ from their approach to depression. Is depression really a chemical imbalance in the brain or a psychological problem? Often time people are given antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin.

SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance. These medications often time have horrible side effects like agitation and sexual dysfunction.

This is a different view of depression.

In this video Dr. Breeding will discuss tips on how to recover from depression, become a more happy person.

I'm so bad now, I can't barely get out of bed in the morning. I'm actually more tired than when I went to sleep.  When I finally do wake up, I get energy for about 3 hours and then I can't keep my eyes open anymore, and have to sleep. Then I say, "I have to live my life like this?, I have no life". And the cycle starts again, over and over.... Just another day....

I agree with doctor Breeding. I feels the most depressed when I feel betrayed by other people. This makes me feel cynical and unwilling to open myself up to trusting people. Trust is a big part of successful relationships, which are the key to happiness.

This second video seems more useful than the 1st but I'm still stuck. What's one to do when being a high functioning, intelligent but damaged post traumatic brain injury person with mental fatigue, physical tiredness, horrible depression, and an encompassing life that is just as messed up? If drugs aren't the answer and there is indeed a physical cause what can I do?

[MrJuandaco]

These are the best videos about depression I've seen. I have been on medication, and I could not agree more with Dr. Breeding about that. Drugs are not the answer.

There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot­-dot-com.
