I have dated a person who obviously suffered from depression. He appeared to be so charming, normal, outgoing. He has lots lots people like him and has absolutely no problems making friends.
Lately, I learned that he suffered from severe depression. He had several suicide attempts. It may sound very scary, but how, a normal person with no medical backgrounds be able to tell who is a nut job, who is normal? Especially when I want to have a relationship with that person.
Thank you in advice.

Females suffer from anxiety and depression at twice the rate of men. In fact, mental disorders such as anxiety and depression are the leading cause of disability for women.

What are the leading causes of anxiety and depression in women? Please provide as credible sources as possible. Thankyou.
Great answers so far!

I have a history of severe depression. My mom is very against medication and counseling, and reluctantly allowed me to go on the lowest dosage of zoloft. It helped, but now she wants me to go off of it and stop going to my doctor. My fear is that my depression will return. What are the chances of my depression returning, and how can I handle it if and when it does?

I am on anti-depressants to help alleviate the depression, but it keeps getting worse. I finally succeeded in quitting smoking, but I feel worse now than I did for the eleven years that I smoked. I’ve been exercising and eating right to. I just don’t know what else to do.

These past few days I’ve been trying to figure out whats wrong with me.
But i still can’t even figure out if i even have a problem, I guess I’m just trying to find something to do. But the only thing is, I cant do anything that use to interest me anymore. Which brings me back to my question (what is the difference between depression and boredom?). If anyone can can tell me what they think please don’t hesitate or hold back on commenting.

Although, the MLB seasons are open to post-WWI and begin of Great Depression era since America’s economy and banks had none on the money. (this time, the world also have same on that during Great Depression).

The season and playoff are still opening during the Great Depression era. I think that the MLB didn’t earns more money during that era as more people don’t attended the games or playoff games.

Can u tell me about how does MLB had survived during the Great Depression?

Hi
I am very interested in pursuing a volunteer job at a depression hotline. I was just curious to know if anyone has had any experience with this- I’d love to hear about your experience.

Also, although I don’t know the specifics, I’m sure there’s some sort of training involved in order to know how to deal with certain situations and such (They can’t let just any random yahoo come off the streets to do this job). I’m curious as to what sort of training would be involved, and what kind of red tape I would need to get through in order to acquire a position like this. Thanks!
