News of Clinical Depression Forum

I am 15 years old and I live in Minnesota. I was diagnosed with clinical depression 2 months ago. I hospitalized for a while and then started on Zoloft by my psychiatrist. The Zoloft began to give me panic attacks so I was switched to Prozac. The psychiatrist also prescribed Ativan and Risperdal for me.

I have been going through some very interesting problems lately. I think that there is a brand new mental illness ...

I am 15 years old, and I was diagnosed with clinical depression two months ago. The first major episode with it was back in late september. I felt so suicidal and I wanted to do it so badly just like i want to do now. I told my Mom how bad I felt and she called up the ######6 hospital. I talked to the little nurse for a little while and she told me to ...

i don't think anybodys going to read this, so i'm just going to vent for the past four years of my life. if anybody does read this, know that it is very long. well, you can probably tell that my life sucks. i guess it first started when i moved. i used to live in WV, and was essentially a total nerd, but i still played sports, hung out with my friends. i didn't really ...

I need to rant! I tried talking to a friend of mine about how depressed I've been lately. I haven't been clinically diagnosed or anything, but there are things I've had problems with, ed's, si, od'ing etc. So he keeps asking me if I'm ok, and he's usually such a nice caring guy that I decide to talk about it with him a little. I was hesitant, because you never know how people are going ...

Brace yourselves fellow depressives because I'm going to have a bit of a rant as I'm after the answer to recovery and just want to know if anyone is having a similar experience or even better, has RECOVERED from this gruelling experience!
