depression update... and checklist! see if u have depression too?



depression is killing me la head super pain and than u suddenly feel super angry or super sad... so tiring la...

ok here is some symptom of depression ur own personal check list those with a * is wad i have...


The two most significant symptoms of depression are:3

■Sadness or hopelessness. *
■Loss of interest in or pleasure from most daily activities.*

Other symptoms include:

■Losing or gaining weight because of changes in appetite.*(i change till kana gastric till now)
■Sleeping too much or not enough. *
■Feeling restless and unable to sit still, or feeling that moving takes a great effort. *
■Feeling tired all the time. *
■Feeling unworthy or guilty without an obvious reason.*
■Having problems concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.*(thats y ppl say i have stm)
■Thinking often about death or suicide. *
If you have at least five of these symptoms for 2 weeks or longer, and one of the symptoms is either sadness or loss of interest, you may be diagnosed with major depression that needs treatment. Even if you have fewer than five symptoms, you may still be depressed and need treatment. i have all.. does it mean i m doom?!!!

If you have 2 to 4 symptoms for a period of at least 2 years (1 year for a child), you may have a long-term form of depression called dysthymic disorder (dysthymia)

(i at least kana for 3 years)

PART 2!

Many health professionals see people with general symptoms that may be difficult to link to depression. These symptoms, which commonly occur with depression, include:

■Having headaches and other body aches and pains.*
■Having digestive problems, including constipation or diarrhea.*
■Losing interest in sex or being unable to perform sexually.
■Feeling anxious or worried without an obvious reason.*
■Blaming yourself or others for your depression.*
■Not moving or talking for hours.****(i love stoning!!)
Other symptoms of depression may include:

■Overeating and weight gain (rather than loss of appetite).
■Oversleeping (rather than insomnia).*
■Increased tearfulness, anger, and generally not feeling well, along with anxiety and tension.**********(so now u know why i always angry soeasily...)
