What Causes Depression?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I don't consider feeling sad about something bad that happened depression. That is a normal response to something. To me depression is feeling bad when I don't really have a reason to. Or feeling too bad about something that happened. Too bad for too long.

What causes that? Why do I react differently than other people?

I have been reading so much about how the medication that we think is making us well, actually keeps us 'sick', I am curious. I have been on anti-depressants for so long now, I wonder...or am I paranoid?

Am I Just Weird???
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have found that so many people turn to drugs and alcohol when depressed or anxious. When I was in my 20's I did my share of getting drunk and loving it. But once diagnosed in 2001 I haven't' taken a drink of anything. I go to parties or out once in a while and it is ingrained in my mind that I am not supposed to mix alcohol with my medication. It is so important for me that my meds work that I would never risk it. However, others on the same types of medications seem to drink when they want… read more

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

This is my own personal experience... I had been taking a low dose of Seroquel for about 2 ½ years, feeling very depressed and low, my psychiatrist decided to take me off Seroquel I was prescribed Bupropion. I feel like a lot of the symptoms that I was accrediting to depression, were side effects. Extreme fatigue, grogginess, difficulty focusing.
