ihavenoclue | how do you know if you suffer from depression? | i'm 25 and i don't have health insurance, so i can't afford a diagnosis, but i need to know if i'm suffering from depression. i think i have some signs, but i'm not sure if they are REALLY signs of depression. for example, i have serious fatigue, violent mood swings, short term memory loss, inabilaty to focus, dwindaling relationships and the constant thought that i'm losing this battle that's probably all in my head, but i don't know how to stop it. what's my deal? |

Since you don't have health insurance, I recommend you get a book called "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David D. Burns. This should help you with your depression; in addition, if anything else in your life is causing these problems it should help you pinpoint them and come up with a plan of action for dealing with them. |
