Denise is not mental. DO YOU HEAR ME?! She is NOT! She just... well... her emotions don't know when to shut off & they tend to control her instead of her controlling them. So when she gets angry she's mean, then she feels bad & she cries. So she gets frustrated over little things, lots of people do. Allright, she has cried over spilled milk, literally, but other people must, they came up with that saying for a reason. Um... yeah. OK, so Denise should maybe be medicated. Sh'e just waiting for her new insurance...

I don't like the term "mental problems". What we suffer from is a chemical imbalance within our brains that cause the brain to send out incorrect messages. And don't be shocked. The difference between now and 30 years ago is that doctors are better educated. This is the difference between using leaches to suck out the bad humors to doctors using penicillin.

Years ago if something like this happened we would have been put in an insane aslyum or worse. We would have been called meloncholy. Now we have a label for it. Depression and we know that it is related to long term stress which causes the breakdown of the brains ability to produce seratonin. Our only problem is that we don't know exactly how to treat it or how to prevent it. Hopefully one day there will be a drug that prevents this from happening. In the meantime the rest of us take our medications to control the sadness that we feel without it.

I am sure that if part of a yearly physical was a psychological examination to detect this sort of chemical imbalance, you would find that more people need help than are asking for it. After all, how many people have high cholesterol and have no idication that they have this condition.

I think the word 'mental illness' not the current term to use. I believe it is now refered to as a 'Brain Disorder'. It is more politically correct.

I was on Effexor until about a month ago you are right the withdrawls are hell. I was so dizzy, I am currently on Zyban to help me quit smoking (which is working I am almost there), and to help keep my nerves calmed. I want to go back on the Effexor when I get done with the Zyban.

I guess it surprises me too what some of you DO contend with everyday on top of having "chemical imbalances". I haven't had a diagnosis but sometimes I wonder...I get HELLA mean around the time of my period, could be just hormones- I don't know. I am also very moody- I don't know maybe there is something wrong?
Isn't there a test online you can take for Bi-Polar and Depression? Anyone have that link?

First I wanted to apoligize for the term "mental problems". I guess I can excuse it with me being german. I should have used chemical inbalance just like schsa said. Sorry.
Then I want to thank you all for your response. I really love you guys. Whenever I need to talk about the depression related stuff, you are always there. It is good to know that there are other "nut bags" out there who know how I feel (I call myself a nut bag...so don't get mad at the term)(PLEASE).
I know that I should have my depressions more under controll (as far as you can do that). I am scared and I know I should not be and fight it. I am fighting but it makes me sooo mentally tired. Right now, I am doing ok but I am (deep inside) waiting for it to start again. I know that is wrong, but if anyone of you has a way to stop thinking like that, please tell me. I don't want to think that way, it happens without me wanting it.
I just found out that my Mom swallowed pills when I was around 20, but she threw them back up because she was thinking of me. I told her to please go to the doctor and talk about it.

Anyways....I wanted to thank all of you and it feels good to be back!
