Im only 16! but could i still have depression or some other disorder ?? |
the "symptoms" i have match how i feel perfectly so ill just tell you them and see if maybe any of you know what or think you know what might be wrong with me.. i decided to ask this becuase i've been very depressed again lately and ive been feeling most of these symptoms since i was 14 and some longer sooo half a year ago i attempted suicide and unfortunately failed miserably spending almost a week in the hospital and social workers made me live with my dad instead of my mom which is absolutely miserable, but i refused to go see a councilor although they tried to get me to and even trick me into it anyway now you know a little bit heres the list of some of my symptoms.. -Delusions of grandeur - for example when you believe that you are very special or have special powers or abilities. - (hearing voices that other people can't hear) -(seeing things that are not there or that other people cannot see) -lack of emotion -Low energy -lack of interest in life -Affective flattenin You could be describing a combination of Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, and rapid cycling Bipolar Disorder, but it really needs not only expert diagnosis, but also expert treatment, such as Dialectical Behavio(u)ral therapy, an antipsychotic, and a mood stabiliser. See BPD, at the foot of page 1, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... and bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, on pages 5 (also see suicidal thoughts), and 7. Use the locators on pages 1, and 2 (read those pages). You will need to learn to trust the therapist you find, and take all medications as advised, but, at your age, and with your history, AVOID ANTIDEPRESSANTS, and use the multidimensional approach to treating the depressive phase. Maintain those treatments, because all medications take time to be fully effective, and you may feel that you don't need to take medications, or do anything else, during the manic phase. More details about your upbringing, such as whether you suffered abuse, and when you started experiencing each of the symptoms would have been helpful: if you prefer to keep such details out of public scrutiny, you can email me, through my profile. You could also see insomnia treatments, on page 3, but I doubt that they will be of much use, if the tentative diagnosis of bipolar disorder is confirmed. by best advice is keep busy and take care of yourself health wise Depression and other mental disorders knows no age limits. definitely should see a professional about it. could be chemical imbalance or something. please!! don't be afraid to ask a counselor or someone close to you for help. i too had severe depression that started at the age of 14. it lasted throughout my teenage years but i got help and it made a huge difference. God bless! honey i was depressed @ 10 yrs old, search for Borderline Personality Disorder, also some teens have early Sleep Apnea \o/ I am 20 now, but I through middle and high school I was a mess. I was in and out of hospitals and tried dozens of medications. Now I take st. johns wart and fish oil several times per day. they sell it at walmart in huge bottles, and theres no side effects at all. it works for me. |
