Q: How to get goverment help for depression?
I am 18 and depressed. I was wondering if there is anyway I can get goverment help to cover anti depressents? I live in Utah, if anyone has a number or knows exactly what to do. I really need this I have a LONG family history of it and a long history of abuse as a child. I know I have a chemical imbalance and very high anxiety but I also know I am depressed, I really just want the old me back. Please if anyone knows what to do please please help me.

A: Call your county mental health authority and ask those questions. Your family dr. can help you fill out a form (you might have to get it online from the drug company and then have the dr.s office fill it out) to get free medication from the drug manufactures if you don’t have insurance- most offer a program to help.Some generics are really cheap now from the pharmacy.

I think you need therapy for your abusive past, and not drugs to suppress the symptoms, Pills won’t help you get past those issues,they just cover up the symptoms of pain.You have depression and anxiety because of unresolved issues that wil always be there if you don’t get some help.
That doesn’t mean there is a “chemical imbalance” that you need to throw pills at. The term “chemical imbalance” is a term used by pharmaceutical company’s to get your $ .
They make billions (no kidding) from just ONE antidepressant medication.

Example of relief without medication- think about how good you would feel if I said you could have a month vacation in Hawaii,no responsibilities or bills ,just sitting on a beautiful sunny beach and having a wonderful vacation.

I bet that would lift your spirits for awhile.without medication, maybe you would feel the anxiety and depression lift. Therapy can lift your depression also. Take courage and deal with your past to give yourself a better future.

Q: help writing a Depression paper?
I have to write a 5 page depression paper in two weeks. what are some study tips for it? i have never done a paper this big and it is worth 1/4 of my grade so Pleas HELP!!
FYI it’s the great depression not like depression
What would be a good question to base it around? like how about did Government involvement prolong the great depression?

A: Try this out for size:

The roaring twenty’s can be called by many names; some good, other bad. After the great war, America was looking for a return to normalcy. What it found was corruption, intolerance and greed. In the larger cities, a party atmosphere existed despite the prohibition against alcohol. All that would change on October 24, 1929, when “Black Thursday” struck Wall Street down. The Great Depression had begun.

I.) Causes of the Great Depression.
a.) Stock market crash of October 1929
b.) Prosperity could continue only if demand was made to grow as rapidly as supply.
c.) The dust bowl – American farmers—who represented one-quarter of the economy—were already in an economic depression during the 1920s,
d.) International problems also weakened the economy. After World War I the United States became the world’s chief creditor as European countries struggled to pay war debts and reparations.
e.) In addition, the United States maintained high tariffs on goods imported from other countries, at the same time that it was making foreign loans and trying to export products. This combination could not be sustained.

2.) FDR and the New Deal.

Q: could getting a kitten help with my depression?
I’ve been feeling symptoms of depression for years now from what i can remember it goes back to when i was 8 years old, i haven’t gone to a doctor because i don’t want everyone knowing about it but i’ve had this for 10 years. the only time i feel happy is with animals or my cousin (who is 3) . i am going to try getting a kitten to see if it helps but what are other ways to get rid of my chronic depression? should i see a doctor for medication? i’m 18 and have thought about suicide many times attempted when i was 13 i don’t know what would help me. any thoughts?

A: ok well ive had extreme depression..self harming..anxiety ocd and more

i went on aropax and it really helps…combined with getting a pet to care for it made me feel good something was there unconditionally….i have a cat and guinea pigs to which i adore..

but getting a pet on its own wont help unless u get medical help from a professional…and it wont just go away…i thought it would with me but it got so bad i ended up in a break down after a c section in hospital..the hospital was awesome..but i wish i got help sooner as it took alot longer to recover as i got so bad

Q: Where do i look for financial help for unemployed to carry on life and away from depression?…
Hello again, thank you for all the responses, I truly appreciate it. I’ve gone through the sites that was suggested but I am not a citizen of those country so I am not able to enjoy such a privilege in need. As I have mentioned in my earlier question which probably some readers may have missed out, that I am in desperate need in means to move on in search for a new employment and at the same to cover some critical personal financial issues and of course to survive through daily life. If such means and such situation is not critical in my life I would not go to such measures to post help on yahoo. I am pressured, stress and mentally drained from thinking so much trying to come out with a solution and was hoping maybe by posting help on yahoo will help me with some suggestions. I have no other options and no other ways to turn to. All i can is that i urgently need some opinion, advice, suggestion and help to go through this obstacle as time is really running out on me. I really hope there is somebody out there who can come out with a good suggestion and solution for me. God bless!

A: I have been unemployed for 1 month plus but I am not depressed. I pay for all my own expenses. Is there a problem? Just that I got phobia looking for job now. There are no unemployment benefits in Singapore though.

Q: I kinda had a “depression attack” yesterday. help please?
I had a terrible “depression attack” yesterday. i was getting ready to go work out and then all of a sudden i just felt incredibly sad inside. i started to cry then i threw up a few times. it went on for about 3 hours. today i kinda feel weird and awkward about it and when i think about it i feel kinda sad again. i take medicine for this. i know your gonna tell me not to think about it but its so hard not to. will i get over this?

A: Hey hun!! :) )
Don’t worry. These feelings are normal.
Did you know a lot of people experience these exact same feelings??? :) )

I am also going through the same thing right now.
You have a lot of things going on in your mind…
and it seems like nobody understands you…

You might get mad easily, or frustrated that you feel this way…
You might say “I just want to be myself again.”

Well here are some things you can do…
Its not going to be easy!!

1. Try not to focus on these feelings anymore, tell yourself “This is just anxiety, it will go away eventually. A lot of people are going through the same thing”

2. To help your anxiety, make sure you don’t smoke any weed, or smoke cigarettes, because those two things will make you hate yourself. I used to smoke weed everyday for 4 years and after I quit for a month I felt a lot better. Oh and when you smoke cigarettes you may feel like you feel a little better, but a second later you will feel even worse! :( ( And you don’t want that.

3. Start exercising!! Do NOT sit on your hiney.. that is the worst thing that you can do. Just go out for a run!! Start lifting weights, just make sure you ALWAYS keep busy.

4. Play a lot of video games, if you don’t like video games, then start a new hobby and just make sure you keep busy.

5. Get a part time job so your not constantly thinking all the time.

6. Don’t drink caffeine, that includes SODA/POP!! Just only water or juices.

I hope this helps. I really want you to feel better.
If you really do these things for two months you will start feeling better about yourself right away.

If after two months you still feel this way, I would recommend you go to your family doctor so they can prescribe you a anti anxiety medicine. :) ) Good luck!!

Q: Depression still, seeing shadows. HELP ME?
Okay, I’ve said this like twice already and get the same answer, talking to people I know. I’m a shy person, uncomfortable around people, not very sociable. I’m depressed and I can barely cope, my friend hates me and she was once my world. Now, I see shadows and they whisper things to me about my death, about my fears ETC. Am I psychotic? I feel like that sometimes. Could these shadows ever hurt me as long as I think they could ? Tell me what to do before they’re right about my death. I’m too close for question. I ask of you not to prejudice me, I cannot help what is wrong with me if you make me feel worse.

A: I have a mental health issue with people as well.I have social anxiety.Type it into your search engine and see if that fits what you are feeling about people.However that does NOT explain about the shadows and voices you are seeing and hearing.That sounds more like schizophrenia.Which is a serious mental health issue.You can look that up too.I suggest you see a doctor as these issues get worse with time.There are treatments out there but no cure.Unfortunately mental heath is not a life threatening illness so no one has ever really done a lot of research in that area.They have just started in the last 20 years or so.

Q: If I have bi-polar/depression and take prescribed medication for it, is that being a “drug user”?
Like I also have minor ADD and I take adderal. The adderal really helps with depression. It basically takes me right of it. Is this a bad thing?

A: Nope, its not being a drug user. You have a medical condition/illness which can be controlled by taking medication. It is not a bad thing to use medication! A drug user uses illegal drugs which are quite often dangerous & may not be what the buyer thinks they are.

Q: Depression help?
I get pretty depressed sometimes, usually with pms… bleh. Does anyone have any natural remedies? I’d like to try some before hitting the meds.

A: Exercise has been shown to help with depression. Also make sure you are getting enough sleep and eat healthy for the most part. That should help at least try the exercise I know that works. If you feel depressed even with that you may want to look into medications but you don’t sound like you’re depressed a lot of the time just around that time of the month so exercise might really help. Good luck.

Q: Depression.Help?
i am depressed and i dont know why? how can i get out of depression

A: First you need to talk to your doctor and figure out if it is situational depression due to something going on in your life right now, or if it is clinical depression and you need an antidepressant. Make sure to get out in the fresh air and sunlight, get exercise. Find some things that make you happy, talk to someone you can trust. And know that you are not alone, many people suffer from depression and it does get better. Try keeping a journal when you are feeling down, write down all of the things that are bothering you and all of your feelings. Just getting them out and down on paper can help. Good Luck and take care of you.

Q: depression help?
my friend is depressed. she hasnt been eating and can never sleep and she never really wants to go out anymore. ive been looking at websites about tips with depression and all of them say you should go see a therapist. i told her she should but her mom always says that she doesnt believe in depression and that people should tough it out. i make myself available to talk but is there anything else i can do? is there anything she can say to her mom? any tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

A: There are so many suffering kids with parents who just refuse to understand.

I like the idea of talking with the school counselor. Also her pediatrician should be helpful. She could tell her mom that she hasn’t been feeling well and that she needs to go to the doctor to see if she has something like anemia. People with anemia feel lethargic. The doctor will probably want to give her a blood test anyway. She could call the doctor in advance and tell the doctor that she feels depressed but that her mother doesn’t believe in depression. The doctor can prescribe anti-depressant medication and refer her to a therapist.

The other thing you could do is call the national alliance for the mentally ill and ask for some pamphlets on depression. www.nami.org. You could either provide them to her mother or give them to the doctor so the doctor can give them to the mother.

You could call the Girls and Boys Town Hotline 800 – 448 – 3000. This phone line is available to children who can’t access their parent’s help for one reason or another.

Last year, a boy in my son’s school was so depressed and suicidal that he friends were warning his father. The father yelled at the friends. The kid asked his father if he could borrow some rope and made up an excuse for the use of the rope. He hung himself. Ignorance on the part of parents can have horrible consequences.

Q: Depression Help?
I am a 14 year old kid, my life is very depressing. To personal to release here on Yahoo Answers, and to long. And I have had serious thoughts of suicide, and I really want help.

I’m in therapy and the therapist I have is not help whatsoever.. Whenever I bring something up he either doesn’t want to talk about it and tries to move on, laughs at it, or just totally ignores it. But my parents won;t let me get another therapist.

So I know that their are depression pills out there. But like they say in the commercial these pills for teens and kids may increase thoughts of suicide. Is their some special kind of depression pills for 14 years olds. I really need help.

A: just get some exercise and you will feel better. i promise.

Q: Depression? HELP?
Alright, I need to talk and let the inside of me breath. I’m Junior, a normal 16 year old boy. Latley, a lot has happend. Finally, I got all my honor classes switched to AP. I’m really glad and all, but I feel so overwelmed..that sometimes I randomly cry. I had surgery about 1 week ago. I’m fine now, but I feel so delicate. I feel like I get very depressed, and VERY FAST. Like..I said..I cry just randomly. I get this sad and depression thoughts about my life. Is this signs of depression? or..? just a phase or something? I need help.
I would like to let eveyrone know, that I am Christian. My parents are pastors of a really lovley church. Thanks though, for the ones that gave me the option of accepting Jesus. :)

A: This is stress building up in your system. Even good things can cause stress–a new job, a new relationship, promotion like what you’ve had. Talk to someone, whether it be a good friend, school counsellor, or the samaritans.
Eliminate other sources of stress in your life, and maybe learn some relaxation techniques.
Antidepressants from a doctor may help, but PLEASE only use them for a short while. As in 6 mos, max. They may treat the symptoms but they’re not a cure, they don’t solve the problem causing the stress. And you can get addicted; I did. When I was in college my situation was like yours and they just kept feeding me pills. You’ll learn to deal with the pressures eventually, it’s just the shock of the new.
And don’t be afraid to admit it if it all gets to be too much. Nobody’s perfect. You don’t want to crash and burn. Make sure you take some time to relax, get some exercise, and forget about your studies from time to time.
