PTSD From Child Abuse And Depression
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hoping to hear from others with similar experiences. My mother used to hit me as a baby and toddler whenever I cried. I learned to stop crying and freeze. There was other stuff too. Decades later, I still only feel truly safe with animals, not people. So the trauma came before the depression.

Why Do People Not Take Me Seriously When I Say I Have Depression?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am 19 which is quite young I understand, but whenever I try to talk to someone about being depressed or how I have a mental illness a lot of people just say I am being over dramatic when I have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and have been admitted before. Why don't people believe me? Is it just cause of my age?
