Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) - Psychiatric Mental Health |

[@rijd2304]

What's hard is when people with MDD are not "severe" enough, but are functional and appearing "ok". If you don't receive a check mark on the more severe symptoms, you're not taken seriously (mainly for insurance reasons and doctors being overworked and trying not to lose their license). A lot of the people with severe MDD probably fell through the cracks when they were functional. It's super sad actually. Any way, what helped a lot was mindfulness meditation. The book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels should be in every hospital and handed out. Mindfulness overtime was a game changer for me.

I’ve been diagnosed with MDD I didn’t even know that excited I though I was “ exaggerating, or I was crazy “ ( according to others ) now I learned about seasonal depression I feel like that when it’s not sunny ( I though I was crazy too) and pre menstrual depression ugh 😑 I have all kind of depressions 😣

Yes it’s good to see more discussions on this. I’ve had this for over a decade and most people have no idea. I’ve lost lots due to this.

I’m 61 years old and don’t have any friends or family. Don’t have anyone to talk to. Everything is pointless. I feel empty inside and it’s killing me.
Spend the whole f* day wishing I was never born. Loneliness is like living in a world of constant pain , suffering and torture.
Wish I had someone to talk to.

I'm on medication for MDD and PTSD. It's a lifelong process to get diagnosed and finally treated. Took many years. Ended up in a psych ward and put on medication.

[@LevelUpRN]

Glad you finally got diagnosed and are taking medications to help… ❤️

[@skrd851]

Which medication are you taking? Can u mention please?

[@rosebud97044]

Don't know what to do anymore, I'm in loads of pain daily. Cant concentrate for long, sleeping a lot everything seems like a major effort. Antidepressants not effective at all.

Glad you think so!

I’ve been diagnosed with severe MDD, for me it’s been 8 years of trying to overcome it. It feels like this diagnosis is often misinterpreted as just having depression once. Or is it that? Maybe it’s different because I also have OCD

[@sutherlandpetty]

Does red light therapy help ???

[@2012aadil]

How do I know if one actually suffering from MDD

I think the two happiest groups are single women and married men. I don’t think depression is greater than women. It’s just that men display it differently.

[@user-sx5dk4iw3f]

you way of teaching is not attractive

[@LevelUpRN]

Sorry to disappoint. Hope you can find another resource that is more to your liking.

I noticed this individual that created. The content doesn't respond very often to replies. That don't revolve around how wonderful the videos are. Or anything in general that isn't self-gratifying.....🤷
