Feeling Depressed vs Having Depression - How To Tell the Difference
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2020
- This is a very relevant topic in this current time as we deal with this pandemic and all of the negativities that comes with it. I don’t think we’ve begun to see the mental impact that this is going to have on us long term. Drug manufacturers are having a hard time keeping up with the demand for antidepressant because more people are being prescribe antidepressants to help with the situation.
And it makes sense. Look at what we’ve got. Long-term social isolation and disconnectedness, loss of life and economic ruin. Any of these things by occurring by themselves can set you back emotionally, but all of them simultaneously can fill you with apathy making you not want to go on. Does that mean you have depression?
Not necessarily. Depression is an emotional state. Major depressive disorder is an illness. As humans we’re reactive. But not every negative reaction is an illness.

There's a mindfulness guide titled "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels, found online. I recommend it. Pass it on!
were u ever a Prof @ L.A.T.T.C. in Los Angeles?
I think Im confusing depression with loneliness!
Dear Dr T. Can you please make a video about long acting injectable antipsychotics?
Doctor am having the symptoms of depression I have been in hospital several test and brain scan on me but my doctor said find nothing wrong with me but am suffering my brain is worrying me sometimes I can't concentrate, please I need help
You really are performing a massive public service. Thank you.
Thank you that’s exactly what I want to do 😊👍🏽
@@DrTraceyMarks❤️ you Dr Marks
YES!!
yep we all thank you x
Yes sir, you are helping a lot of people
I wonder how many people wrote the way they feel in a comment just to cancel it out in the end.
Dang... I do this a lot😅
I do this so much
It's really hard
Avoidant personality disorder. I write something, then think people will judge me.
........idk, bit i'm definetely one of them
Thank you for this video! "Depression is an emotional state. Major depressive disorder is an illness." - straight to the point!
I am so tired of feeling depressed. I am a functional depressed person. It's so tiring. I am seeing a psychiatrist and taking meds. I keep waiting and waiting for the day i feel normal and energetic. Instead every day i feel bummed and i have to talk myself into being positive. I'm barely maintaining my job and relationships.
Hang in there I hope it eventually gets better for you. 👍🏽
Take care folks. I haven't been happy for 30+ years, and I'm giving myself one last chance to find the solution. Maybe this time we can find the good life.
Someone Someone Jesus offers hope
@a bro. Jesus hasn't helped me to live a happy good life. I don't think religion works for everyone like that.
@@someonesomeone25 don't give up hope. If you don't have God then what do you have. It's because of my faith that I will continue trying it's just exhausting sometimes.
I was angry and depressed about the state of the world since January, so last month I decided to stop watching the news. The only news I now watch is my weather app. This has significantly lowered my depression and alleviated my anger. All the best to everyone.
That's good... It's important _somewhat_ to know what's going on in the world, but mainstream news is so negative it's not worth it at all. There are amazing beautiful things happening on this planet as much as there is negativity. It just doesn't get the same reaction so we have to go out of our ways to find it
Wait what world state?
God bless
@@JolitaBrilliant -Thank you and you too!
@Ambareen farhat Maybe it would make us feel better to do something about it. You cannot ignore problems away.
Your videos on RUclips have been helping me to improve my English vocabulary related to mental health and my listening skills as well. Thanks for the subtitles in English.
Oh that’s great Michel. I hadn’t thought of that as a benefit of watching. 😊👍🏽
its so very clear explaination its great more more vedio
nice
Haha now that is something she can help you with.
I have anxiety, depression and BPD. I’ve never been so sick in all my life. I live in a tiny studio apartment and here in Spain we were only allowed out to the supermarket for more than 2 months.. Being alone in such a tiny confined space and having to work online whilst living in terror, it pushed me to my absolute limits and was like torture. I just wanted to die. My anxiety was so bad I couldn’t eat and stopped showering and taking care of myself because all stress was too much having to work whilst feeling like this. All I could do was work whilst trembling and feeling so bad and having to hide my emotions, I couldn’t do anything to disconnect or relax or even enjoy an episode of a series. I was in a constant state of Adrenalin and couldn’t access my psychiatrist because of all the new mental health cases and having BPD no one takes you seriously or as I’ve researched think that because you have a personality disorder it’s your fault and just symptoms of that. And now I feel like I don’t have real depression or anxiety like everyone else, it’s just me being silly. I’m finally starting to get better now thanks to my pure strength of will. This video helped a lot. Thank you
You are beyond strong, resilient, and brave, Vicky! YES! It only gets better from here. Kundalini yoga really helped me with my anxiety and it connected me to my emotions and my soul in a very profound way. I started feeling safer in my body. If you try it out, I hope it supports your healing. Sending you a big hug! You can do anything.
@@noranavarro2323 thank you so much, that made me cry 💜. I’m glad you found something to help you :) I’ll have a look into it, sounds interesting! Your comment has really helped me. Wish you the best!
@@technology12154 Your pain is real, valid, and understandable. You know your truth better than anyone else (and will continue to do so forever). Don't let anybody take that away from you, Vicky. You have infinite power of healing within you. We all do. We need to tap into our Kundalini energy to understand our power. Breathwork is so, so, so healing and we can always count on it to make us feel safe in our bodies. I'm excited for you to discover how powerful you are and how connected you are to the Universe! :) PS: Check out Nathaniel Drew's last video on loneliness too. You will feel very heard.
You are not alone.
Pray God will bless you
I just wanted to thank you because I've had sleepless nights over this sort of thing(past and present). I've lived in disfunction my entire life and have no base for what is considered normal to others. I also wanted to thank you for real subtitles because with my ADHD,I need them or else I don't soak in the information. I'm sure the hearing impaired community is happy,too!
You’re welcome Bri. I’m glad this helped you be able to put things into context. That really matters. And I’ll definitely keep the subtitles coming.
Thank you for gracing us with your presence Dr. Marks. Loving the hair!
Thanks a bunch I appreciate it 😊❤️
This is so interesting because 3 months ago I was feeling so bad, I was thinking about suicide and felt like my life was pointless, I felt really crazy so I started therapy and since that, I feel so much better now, I feel good about life and now I keep wondering if I was depressed at all, bc just talking with my therapist once a week for three months has helped me so much in such a short time. It's wonderful how I didn't need any medication, just someone to talk to and make sense of all those thoughts I was having
Oh that’s so great the therapy helped you. I’m glad you’re better now without needing medication
Hi there. I teach A-Level Psychology here in the UK. You have a wonderful style and thank you for making such an accessible video. I'll be using it it in my lessons. We have just started a module on Mental Health. Thanks again
Research suggests that depression doesn't spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems.👍
Yes it’s complicated and a lot more involved than elevated levels of brain chemicals. I talk about this a little in this video on depression and neuroplasticity ruclips.net/video/Fid1LnGYp3s/видео.html
mine is genetic,i know that becouse my father has it too.i talked with people online who have depression and noticed most of them have a parent or someone in family from both sides who have or had depression.also in my opinion is genetic like other illnesses
yes, that is very true
Ugh, I really needed to hear this today. I've lost my motivation to try and get some stuff done over the past couple of weeks, and it felt like I was sinking into a pit of desperation and despair. But from what Dr. Mark's said it sounds like I'm doing better than I thought. Whew! Thanks for another great video, Dr. Marks.
You’re welcome. It helps to be able to put things in perspective and have a base for comparison.
Before being diagnosed with major depressive disorder I thought I was just sad or just depressed about certain things but I began to realize that had felt that way for 6 years already and maybe even more. It's not like felt depressed but that depression just came at random moments in my life ever since I was young and as a preteen I started to self harm. Something my doctor told me that has given me some hope is that when having major depressive disorder It wasn't going to go away but finding therapy or taking meds was going make it easier to live with depression without it potentially taking my life.
Thank you so much for your videos. I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety since a violent marriage a few years ago but it’s been worse since I lost my parents a year ago. I’m since remarried and in a great atmosphere. But I still struggle with depression, anxiety, and grief.
Very useful information the GAF Scale. I will problably use it to better communicate my daily challenges with my doctor and therapist.
In my country access to mental health awareness is limited and expensive... A lot of mental health remains untreated or undiagonised because people cannot afford psychatric evaluation or consultation unlike physical ailments.. Thank you for spreading awareness on these areas willingly
Yeah. If I tried to get help everybody would think I'm going crazy. But, I'm thinking of getting help and not telling anybody about it except my sister who encouraged me to get some help. Hope it works out
@@tanvisharma704 you'll cope with it soon
Thank you for this video, it’s very relevant. It’s sometimes hard to convince people that you do have a mental illness because they constantly compare it with their “depression” phases in life. I hope that the difference between depression as a feeling and depression as an illness becomes more known to people, so that lesser people will get discouraged from seeking professional help.
Anyone else experience the following? You have depression (officially diagnosed) and co-existing OCD and other anxiety disorders that do make you clean the house (every day) and/or do the 10.000 steps or 1000 sit ups every day, and/or cook, pay the bills because you have anxiety about people knocking on your door/confrontation/shame; so to the outside world or even on paper, you don't seem to have depression, while you actually just want to stop existing, you do not want to get out of bed in the morning due to lack of energy and motivation, the world is all dark and hopeless around you but your anxieties make you go on, they keep you on your toes - which in turn make you feel even worse. I'm soooo exhausted ....
Yes. I don’t have a lot of OCD, but I was good as acting “normal.” No one had a clue what I was struggling with. I use past tense because after 15 years of being afraid of medication, I finally took that step, and it helped me so much.
I was wondering about this the other day. Great timing! You are my favorite go-to vlogger for mental health information. Love your manner and the way you explain things. Also your voice is super pleasant to listen to.
Ya know....i think I have gone beyond my normal bipolar and adhd issues and have full blown depression. I have no more social encounters and my self care has slipped into the gutter. But I think this confirms I am handling it right. Even though I immediately slip into suicidal thoughts and struggle with them for hours, I find myself now able to fight until I can catch a breath. Creating new therapies for myself.
Excellent. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
I went through burnout in February and I was on therapy since, for about 2 months... I also had a couple of session of physiotherapy for brain stimulation. After completing my pills I noticed that I have tinnitus on a frequent basis now under high or mild stress levels... The noise in my ears is unbearable 😭. I wish you could talk more about some side effects of medications and how to avoid them or at least reduce their noticeability...
I am so happy that I found this channel... Your explanations are so clear
Doctor, you're all appreciated.
I came across your videos today and they answer all my questions regarding depression and anxiety. Thank you so much for this information!
Good day Dr Marks,
I hope this message finds you well.
I just want to tell you that your content really inspires me. I always follow your videos. Watching your videos reminds me of my broken dream of how I wish I can pursue a journey in becoming a physician and devote myself to society. I really love watching videos, learning and reading about topics related to medicine. And I really love watching your content. I learn so much. Since childhood I always struggled with depression, ADHD and anxiety. Because I come from a culture where mental illness is stigmatised and is considered a taboo, I struggled in every aspect of my life when I was a child. Had I gotten help and proper treatment during childhood, I too would’ve made a life for myself in pursuing my passion of practicing medicine. Other than that, I really love watching your informative videos and I am a regular follower of your channel. I just want you to acknowledge that I really appreciate the time and effort you put in creating such useful content that anyone can reference from. I send you and your family lots of good wishes.
Thank you
Keep on inspiring,
Always remain blessed with your gift of knowledge!!!
But my depressive illness was triggered strongly by events in my life.
interesting that she doesn't mention that because traumatic events can trigger depression in people who are vulnerable to it
Diane Kerrison Yup. For me workplace bullying which reminded me of bullying I experienced at school put me into a deep depression. I’m so glad I am out of it now though.
@@MsDidi38 Yes. I'm sure she has other videos that touch on that more specifically!
I think that would fall under situational
I wish the first doctor who saw me (and many others after) understood proportional distress as well as you do.
Yes things are relative. You have to put them in perspective. 😊
I have learned so much from you! Thank you dr. Marks! The information you give, has helped me to know where to get the help I need, and how to express myself better. It's not like I'm stupid, but going out and telling a stranger how you feel, it's not something you do every day. It has also helped me question the treatment and type of medicine I'm on. So thank you!!!
Oh that's so awesome Jaqueline. That's exactly what I hope people will get out of watching my channel! Thanks for letting me know. 😊👍🏽
Thank you for this extremely helpful, informative and inspiring video. So very reassuring. Incredible service here. Thank you again.
“Out of proportion” and “persistent”, these are the words that I might actually need to stop working at my current position.
@@abro7189 if you’re gonna be like that than hail Satan.
Hey, i used one of your videos for a listening activity in my learning activity sheet for my students.thank you so much.
I wish all mental health professionals had this understanding about their profession.
God bless you all- thank you for this video Tracey!:)
We just need to normalise talking about mental health issues to enable people to get the help they need without shame or embarrassment! I have just started a series on discussing mental health to spread awareness! Love your message and you now have a new subscriber!
Been in therapy for 3 years, told my therapist I think I'm depressed. Nothing helps. I think I should take meds
Dr. Tracey Marks, thank you. Thank you so much for explaining. Thank you RUclips for recommending it. I now have a relatively better understanding of my condition. I think, I'm switching back and forth between various stages, although I don't think I have touched the completely dysfunctional stage yet. I have serious aversion to medication. So, I haven't seen any professional yet. I want to manage it without medication.
Woot Woot from a therapist in Uganda where the numbers are spiking now in 2021.Thank you for this offering.
Straight shooter, I deeply appreciate all of your content Dr. Marks!
I also realized that I tend to misjudge the effectiveness of healthcare providers on treating me based on how much I can relate to them racially, outward style, and in speech. It's a long standing problem of mine, but RUclips is offering me a lot of perspectives from different professionals. There is not a better way to get as much exposure to knowledge and experiences from different kinds of people for free than RUclips. I dislike the idea of being a "fan" of a medical professional, but I am a fan of your work effectively helping us see ourselves clearly in the dark, and making the most of our good times 💓 Thank you again!
Thank you for this video. I have watched many of your videos to help me study for my LCSW exam.
I really can’t wait until I have health insurance again and can afford therapy for the first time in my life. I hope I can find someone as skilled as you in my area
I love your voice. You sound very educated but not distant. Good info to have. Thanks for sharing
This is an excellent remainder of how to guage "how bad it is" when we're feeling "depressed". Recently, my functioning has been somewhere between moderate and severe. Still, I've managed to look for a new job, get out of bed, try to maintain a normal sleep/wake schedule, take care of my basic needs, and reach out for help from my partner. I'm taking my meds and trying to practice self-care and self-discipline (not easy if you're really struggling with depression). Another way of determining whether it's a mood state vs a mood disorder (i.e. "feeling depressed" or struggling with recurrent episode MDD) is how I respond to adversity: does it make me feel frustrated or does it send me into crisis? Do I properly address said adversity/challenge, or do I let it build up and then get so overwhelmed that it negatively impacts my mental health? Think of it this way: if you're in "fighting shape", i.e. attending to the necessary things in your life and relationships, and able to pull yourself together despite set backs or relapses, you're probably not "depressed", but rather experiencing a normal reaction to a stressor. Of course, it can be difficult to tell when you've struggled with depression your entire life and you can get good at being resilient in the event of relapse. Life almost seems like living on a depression spectrum: "how has my mental illness been impacting my job, self care and relationships lately"?
thank you for posting videos like these!! Ur a life changer! ❤️❤️
I'm learning So much ma'am Thank you. People need to be aware of this. ❤❤
Excellent video! Thank you Dr. Marks.
Hi Dr. Marks. I hope you and your family is well. As always I am looking forward to your videos. You always have great topics. I am sure this video will help a lot of people so thankyou for that.
Thanks a lot Jeff. We are well and trying to stay that way. I hope you and your family are well too. 👍🏽😊
I don't know which one I am. I live only for my daughter. If she wasn't alive I wouldn't be alive. My family is aware of this. I work to maintain our independence from having to stay with my mom. I clean my house and do laundry because that's the stuff I'm supposed to be doing my heart is never in it. I'd prefer to lay in bed all and do nothing but I also know that if I do that I wont be laying in bed for long because I'll get evicted. I had a stillbirth in 2017 and ever since then, I feel dead inside.
Hang in there for your daughter and your angel baby ❤ and hopefully things will get better for you
That sounds like depression. You go through a lot of brain and hormone changes during pregnancy and birth, and that stuff can cause serious depression even when it isn't enmeshed with tragedy. You should probably talk to a therapist.
Well no one can diagnose in absence (and I'm not qualified to do it in person either).
Based on the "criteria" in the video I would classify it as mild to moderate dysfunction. No one "just gets over" a still birth. Especially when you can't "take a break" from your parental responsibilities.
I think the "normal response" festered and spending more fun time with your child would help a lot (or help enough). Depending on your child's age - things like going regularly to the playground are a great way to take your mind off the bad things in life. The day-to-day grind like laundry and homework is necessary routine, but the small things like just enjoying yourself are needed to recharge yourself.
Good luck - stay strong (and relax every now and then) :)
Carter's Mom Sorry for your loss. I think is a topic to work on and process. You are an example of a fighter and you are going to continue because you are stronger than you think
How selfish of you! You are burdening others with the task of keeping you alive. How would your family know that you stay alive only for your daughter had you not told them? Now your family is tasked with worrying about isolating you from reality because you can't take it
Hello Dr.
I cannot thank you enough for your help especially during the pandemic. You truly care and it shows in your videos. Thanks again.
what pandemic its a big fat LIE!
Dominick: Enlighten us with your conspiracy theory. I’m sure it’s not something I’ve already heard.
@@gregoryvierra6114 ok most of people that died were already chroniclly ill were in nursing homes and in there 60's and 70's very few people in young or middle age group contrackted the virus!
Thank you so much for the video. It is very helpful in this difficult time. :-)
So Happy to of found your channel your so gifted at what you provide im learning so much about my experience an journey Thank you I've subscribed once again your so gifted Thank You..
Absolutely love all your videos! I always tell myself I'm going to watch 1 or 2 before bed and next thing I know it's an hour later😂
I was wondering if you could possibly do a video (or videos) about editing disorders and the different types! Thankyou :)
I’m 12 rn and feel rejected by some friends and excluded people at school and helping either and shoving me around when I’m WALKING AT THE SAME SPEED AS THEM WHEN THEY ARE SAYING HURRY UP everytime that happens I get my pen with a sharp cut on it and scraped it down my thumb- and everytime I looked at it I felt extreme guilt and the pain wasn’t the cut it was the mental pain from my head that made me want to do it that was hurting. Fake friends are now commenting on my videos about every tiny thing that goes on and disliking the videos because they a idiots I wish I had a life that was better. Apparently I’m talented when all I get from people who are “close to me” is bad replies that make me feel sad I hope someone relates so I’m not the only one. I give up easily and when I try I fail because of other people being in my way which is why I think I have depression. I’m sad and feel guilt for random things at random times like I play a video game for an hour and when I get called down I don’t hear and feel so guilty no one can ever imagine as well as being guilty about being “fat” and annoying things like when I think what happened in the past like when I was a brat being bratty by making a joke about what year it actually was on Victorian day and glared at by the horrible teacher. It was a mild joke but I take things way too over the top and if I even get “talked to” by a teacher like when I wasn’t doing anything to harm anyone it was just a mistake- one time I used a calculator when I was answering some questions that don’t matter at all and the teacher said that I couldn’t and I felt so sad for the rest of the day I can not describe. I wish I could just not feel any of these things and end it all. Thank you for this video and sorry for the lack of punctuation which is something that one of my horrible teachers would point out. By the way this isn’t a joke I am so sad I can not describe. I’m wandering if this is long term or not.
Hey buddy , it does get better. If I were you I would look at talking to a therapist that specializes in children. This could help you talk out your feelings and better understand how you feel as well as finding solutions or remedies like meditation.
I really enjoy watching your videos, they are very informative. Can you make a video on childhood bipolar,ADHD, autism and anxiety ? Also whether antidepressants , mood stabilizers and other medications are good for children?
Your videos are informative and helpful-thank you so much!
Youre so Glynette I’m glad they are helpful. 😊
I've had clinical depression for 22 years. It's certainly my brain chemistry, but stressors in my life make the symptoms worse and I feel bad for much longer that expected for someone without depression. At my best I still have moderate dysfunction on a weekly basis, but at worst I sink into a state of serious dysfunction.
Periods of my life when I was unmedicated, or under-medicated, I could usually keep treading water for school and work. This would use up most of my energy and will power. I became anxious of seeing friends and family, because of the perceived requirement of being socially pleasant. Several times a week when I wasn't working or sleeping, I'd just lay on the floor and wait for work or sleep.
A combination of working with psychiatric nurse practitioners and councilors have helped me manage my symptoms and lead a mostly happy and functional life.
However, I am still prone to stressors tanking my emotional affect, cyclical thoughts of hopelessness and self blame, and reverting to inactivity and long periods of sleep, for fear of the emotional energy needed to engage with life.
It's a bit of a balancing act, and I have to take extra steps every week to make sure I don't slide into a major depressive episode. However, I can actually say that I'm happy often, and I'm able to have good days, which is so great compared to where I was when I had no treatment at all.
Thank you for this. It helps me feel better.
Thanks for the videos! I'd love to see one on extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotics.
I love your necklace!!!! It literally put a smile in my heart
Thanks, doc! You're amazing!
You’re welcome Miriam thank you 😊👍🏽
I am a newly PMHNP not currently working. I listens to you every day
This reminds me,I was already in an emotional hole and I’m slowly digging deeper. At least this time other people can get a bit of my pain.
Thank You Doctor Tracey Marks
You’re welcome Jess 👍🏽
Your videos have been so very helpful to me 💚
Late comment here...Thank you for your videos they're always so helpful! I was wondering if you could talk about Maladaptive Daydreaming I recently discovered this but there isn't a lot of information on it. I'm very interested in learning more about it. Is this considered as a type of disassociation?
Thank you for educating us🙏
Honestly your videos help my depression get better for a little while
Oh that’s great. Maybe need to watch it again 😊
I feel like I have a lot of responsibilities to be depressed. I need to keep up with these responsibilities and I'm so tired to keep up with everything.
Thank you so much for this.
You’re welcome 👍🏽
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing ❤️
You’re welcome Ms Divine Soul. 😊
Thanks again Dr. Marks
Thank you so much 😊 you are the Jordan Peterson of mental health.
I have never seen a doctor or therapist about it, but I'm certain I suffer from depression. I recently took the Enneagram Institute test... I'm a four, which came as no surprise. Not sure how much credibility that has in the psychiatric community, but it made a lot of sense to me... I'm detatched. And I like it that way, even though it makes me feel extremely lonely
When I get depressed it's like somthing draining all my neurotransmitters and I am starring into a dark abyss. This happens during mixed episodes or rapid cycling. Lamotrigine helped me alot with it but I unfortently got allergic to it.
Thanks for the video!
Hello, Doctor. I am a person who suffers from Anxiety, hypochondriasis and recently I've been experiencing thanatophobia which I don't know if it's the result of my anxiety of it's something new I developed. I am 26 years old and my disorders are now consuming my entire life. I would love to watch a video about the thanatophobia in a psychiatric point of view. My psychiatrist gave me some pills to cope with my symptoms but watching your videos had helped me A LOT. Thank you!
Thank you 🥺 been diagnosed with, Anorexia, Anxiety, BDD, Bulimia, Depression, EUPD and OCD. Wow. I’m stoned rn which is why I’m telling the whole world about my fucked up head 😭 but you really help me understand more about my illnesses so, thank you ♥️
keep smoking those joints and hang on
@@hamburger9677 thank you 💓
You said situational depression l experienced it I was doing everything healthy mental health professionals said I needed medication l just needed someone to validate my experience so once I got the chance to change my environment everything changed l no longer needed them and they were angry but it is still overwhelming about their insecurities and people like the people you are escaping will try to destroy you
I’m glad you got the validation you needed and a change of environment to help you get out of the state you were in. I hope the overwhelm resolves for you.
@@DrTraceyMarks you are right not everyone needs medication all the time it doesn't work if it isn't needed you are so helpful
Thank you for your videos. Can you make a crash course video on the different rx for varying d/o?
I've always had a mild form of depression, it was always off and on. I would feel good for a week then be sad for 3 days, but this pandemic has just multiplied the feelings and made them worst:( I really hope this whole thing just comes to and end soon, I mean how can a country or world even let a virus or pandemic last this long? its an absolute joke where America has come to a point where we have to wear mask if we want to go anywhere
*okay Karen !*
Sounds like bipolar depression
Thank you for your informative video. 🧡💛
Thanks for this video.
Wonderful! Thank you.
This is excellent for those who seek the information: This information was very helpful. Can these identifying signs be a sign that the anxiety was induced or could be induced
Have you done any videos on panic disorder and the effectiveness of Prozac to treat it? Love your videos !
I have every type of dysfunction you mentioned at different times!
Tracey! I think I recognize you from your local Zoe’s Kitchen (I’m a manager there)! I will be saying hello next time. Great content!
Thanks. Another very beneficial video.
You’re welcome Ant 😊
Excellent example for those who'd seek the information: Is it typical in your profession to explain the same ideals as expressed here over and over...
I have been struggling with depression for 12 years. It's almost all my life. I don't have a normal life. Wanting to die is my normality. I am jealous of people who can feel not like me.
Same. I missed out on my best years.
Great video, very informative.
My favorite Doc♥️
Brilliant!! thank you
Just gonna leave this here for whoever needs it. I have OCD so I am constantly checking myself for depression. I’ll convince myself I’m depressed when I’m just a little tired or sad. Im not usually the best witness to my own mental health ironically. If you’re struggling talk to a psychiatrist if you can afford to or make some changes to your daily life like adding in exercise and see if that helps before diving off the deep end and determining that you are hopelessly broken.
hi dr. marks, first of all, i would like to thank you for your work as it has helped me a lot!
anyways, my name is julia, but you can call me lia if you want to.
i am 16 and recently got diagnosed with bipolar type 2. i have been suffering with panick attacks for 5 years now (at the beginning i had once a year, then it gradually became a once a month or more issue) and have been avoiding going outside for around 3 years as i would have attacks being away from or having to leave my home. since the begging of quarentene i have started having more intense mood swings with severe suicidal thoughts. just recently i had a hypomanic episode and ever since then i have been feeling numb. i am on therapy and taking my medication but i am getting tired of it and i just wanna quit therapy. i am very bored of it and it just doesn’t seem to help. i still have issue leaving my house (to go to therapy, so usually, when she can my mom takes me and stays there for the hour and brings me back home as it helps me a lot) and i don’t see much change from therapy.
feeling numb, in my opinion, is great (compared to hypomania or depression) and i want to be like this forever.
my school isn’t back yet (i live in brazil) but when it comes, i know im going to suffer.
i just don’t know. i believe feeling numb makes me careless and... numb to anything and everything, so i don’t know where to take strength from.
i don’t know if you can help or anything, just wanted to share i guess
Thank you doctor. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
You’re welcome thanks for watching
Hello Doctor, I love your videos and how you explain things in such a simple way. I have adjustment disorder, do you have videos about it and if it’s something that I will live with the rest of my life. I can’t adjust to health issues that aren’t curable and will actually get worse by time. I feel I will always be on antidepressants, is this true?
Love these videos! 👍
Thank you 😊
Love your Videos Doc...
Thanks a lot 😊
Im happy i found your channel❤😊
i am a 12 r old girl and dont know whats wrong with me
- i get very irritated just from thinking because i cant concentrate
- i have no motivation to do anything not even take a shower, or do my school work, etc
- i cant find happiness, anything i used to do for fun just isn't fun anymore its just irritating
-i get 3-6 hours if sleep a day
-i cry every night when everyone's asleep
please understand that these are what happens daily and i have trouble wording it. im also really behind on school and no matter how hard i try i cant catch up and just end up getting my phone or ps4 taken away because my mom thinks that'll help:)
I’m 13 and I’ve been feeling the exact same way especially with school I’m not sure what it is either 😞
Talk to your parents about visiting a psychiatrist, also check your vitamins level B12 and D, cause if low can make depression worse. Don t waste time, well my problems took me 20 years, since 12 I struggled.
