@@juanpedro4083 it's not an exact science. Besides, the therapist only hear what you tell him from your perspective, he can't follow you all day analysing every detail. My bf has been in and out of therapy for the past 6 years and it took all this time for someone to suggest OCD to him, because he does not have the typical ritual behaviour, but it seems to be fitting in his thought process. Also if you are changing all the time, the therapist doesn't have a lot of time

@@juanpedro4083 Psychiatry is actually useful, but it's a lot of trial and error. I had to try several antidepressants, anti anxiety mediations, and even stimulants before I settled on Zoloft. You need to stick with it, and stick with a single psychiatrist who can get to know you. Also, medication alone isn't always enough, and insurance won't cover talk therapy from psychiatrists although they are trained in it for community settings, because they are expensive due to their high level of training, so you might need to go to a masters level therapist for that since they're cheaper. You also might not need medication, so first go to a therapist and ask them about medication or types of therapy which you would need. You need to show up and put in work to be healed.

I have been depressed for most of my life. Diagnosed with dysthymia years ago which is now called something else. When I first sought help I was put on many different medications none of which did anything to help me. Finally gave all of it up. Was in therapy for more than 20 years and spent lots of $$$ and really can't say it helped so finally gave up and pretty much lost hope of being any better. I still have most of the symptoms described in this video. The area where I live has very poor mental health care. I am now on Medicare and that narrows down access to care even further since few therapists accept Medicare. I guess I'll die never knowing what it is like to not be depressed.

One thing I feel isn't pointed out as often: chronic depression often persists in some form even when properly treated and managed. Although my depression is only mild to moderate compared to the total misery it causes some, it is still a lifelong condition. Even though I work out regularly and take medication to improve my mood, prevent negative rumination, and so on, I still have periods of lethargy and have trouble getting out of bed. I still consider myself in remission and in much better shape than I was in five years ago, but I don't expect to ever be the total ray of sunshine society often expects of everyone.

I’ve had dysthymia for as long as I can remember, and what I can’t wrap my head around is the cause. I’m a medical worker and have deep dived so far into that question that I am basically a walking encyclopedia about this topic. The answer I came up with is that there can be a thousand causes and most of them are physical. Heart issues, obesity, liver problems, gut problems, nutrient deficiencies, lack of exercise, diet, cancer, Lyme disease and confections, hormones, mold exposure, the list goes on. All of those things can individually cause depression to the point of suicide. The mental causes of depression are not chemical imbalances, because the production rate of serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine are reliant on the state of your physical health. The reason why anti depressants can work for some people is because they boost the amount of those “feel good chemicals” so obviously you’re going to feel better. You are basically on a permanent low grade high. The actual mental reason why you are depressed is usually because of trauma and ptsd, or you psyched yourself into depression with negative thoughts. Sometimes getting that “high” from antidepressants is just enough to find the beauty in life again and you just have to hope that sticks around for the rest of your life which it most likely won’t. Once you’ve flooded yourself with those thoughts, it’s impossible to not do it again unless you literally remove the part of the brain responsible for storing those thoughts. The best thing to do is to keep yourself distracted with unsatisfactory stimuli so these thoughts don’t cause you to do something you shouldn’t do. I went so far as to do IV ketamine (I get a discount at my job) which made my dysthymia much worse. It caused me to go from just not seeing the beauty in life to actually hating life and not understanding what any of this even is. We live in a physically toxic world and slave our good years away until we’re old only to watch the people we love die and then wait to die ourselves. Of coarse we are bound to be depressed.

My theory is that dealing with ADHD in a world and society built for neurotypicals is likely to cause depression and anxiety, so the overlap is probably very common. They also may have direct similarities in symptoms, but more often than not depression probably hitches a free ride on your ADHD.

My life for the last 13 years at least. Sometimes I genuinely wonder how I've gone on this long!
Is there a difference between "procrastinating" due to depression vs due to problems with executive functioning like with adhd? The way you described the depression procrastination makes it sound like the task is super unpleasant and that's what makes it hard. With my adhd, I find things hard even if I know (logically at least) that they aren't unpleasant at all. It's like I'm firing signals for my body to move and it's just not listening. In other words, I do actually want to do the task but I can't seem to make myself do it. Alternatively, the example you gave for depression makes it sound like the person might WANT to send their body signals to move, but they avoid sending the signal in the first place because they don't actually want to do the task at all (for example: "I want to shower but I can't seem to get up" vs "I know I should shower but I don't want to so I'll build up the strength to make myself in 5 minutes"). Would you say this is an accurate understanding of the difference? I'd love your thoughts on it.

I would love to hear her thoughts about this too! A lot of people seem to have overlaps with their ADHD and her depressive symptoms. I have been diagnosed with depression in my teens but it now got updated to ADHD and autism. I think one of the differences is that depressed people more often feel apathy towards things and people with ADHD feel overhwelm like with the "too many steps" example. I often needed to defend myself and convince people I am not depressed because I felt joy, I was happy and I did want to do A LOT of things, it's just that I couldn't make myself do them, for whatever reason. Before my ADHD diagnosis, this was so confusing to me and this is, what I suspect, also made me co-morbid depressive because it was so frustrating (and still is) to not know what is going on. I would love to hear her take about depression and ADHD and how to tell them apart!

For women, many of these symptoms are also signs associated with a hormone disorder. I've had pcos symptoms for many years and before I began taking hormones and supplements to treat it, I literally felt like a zombie everyday. I had apathy, brain fog, exhaustion,etc. Being a 20 something woman was not supposed to be like that. Looking back I wish I could feel as good in my 20s as I do now. My advice is if you have some of these symptoms along with menstrual/reproductive issues get your hormones checked out.

Thank you, Dr. Marks. I appreciate your knowledge, delivery, and, dare I say, lovely variety of hairstyles! You look great in any hairdo. Nearly all of the symptoms you've described are relatable. In addition, because HUMOR comes naturally for me (I crack people up), my humor: skits, impressions, witticisms, goes way up, when depressed. I'm so funny that most ppl would never guess it can be a sign of massive internal dark struggles. Look at the tragic lives of some of the funniest, well known comedians: Robin Williams, Chris Farley, etc. Humor is, thankfully, as far as I know, a healthy coping mechanism (I don't drink, smoke, or take drugs, etc.).

Hi, does she believe in thyroid illnesses? It might be a bit stretched, but depression and usually mental illnesses are happening because of some hormonal imbalance, from a stimuli or not. (It's a long story anyway, different triggers except those too...etc.) You need to take meds in order to balance your body needs. There are some other treatments as well, not involving meds, but for the same purpose. To balance your body needs. Make this kind of comparison for her. Also, taking meds when you don't need them is not good, and your mother might be worried of that in fact. I would suggest to take something based on plants (the effect takes longer to happen) , and see how you feel, rather then chemical components. A mix of tea herbs can be helpful. A good psychologist would really help to determine what you need. Read the prescription of the meds too even if given by a doctor. Double checking :)

I force myself to NOT listen to the negative thoughts because I know they are not true or real. But sometimes it gets hard and overwhelming.

No matter how much treatment I get, that damn apathy sticks around. It usually feels like I’m just indifferent and don’t want to be bothered, with anything. This makes me feel terrible later, because I do care, a lot; I think I just don’t know how to express it when I’m depressed.

Is it a good idea to think about my past events (mostly the negative/traumatic ones), trying to make sense out of the mass and comprehending what happened? Or should I see a professional?

Even professionals see other professionals for their problems, even though they have a full skillset! Seeing someone might ensure that you will be processing your past productively and safely and developing healthy coping skills, instead on dwelling on it. Good luck either way! :)
