Do you have life long depression?

At one time I suffered from depression but a few years back I got professional help and the doctor gave me a medication to take for it. I can't for the life of me remember what it was but I only took it for a few months and then stopped with no problems at all - I think it helped and now that I've done it am glad I did.

Self confidence is a thing which helps to relive you from depression. This could be created and increased with continue practice of doing some thing. The people. Who have the wealth of self confidence could face the depression and confusion very well. Self confidence presents success in every field of life. Complete rest, taking every thing and every issue easy is the factors which cause to decrease the condition of depression and it heal the problem. We should also keep us busy in prayers to avoid the extra ordinary thinking and taking care. Exercises and dieting is also good to avoid the depression.

i know for the past fourty years if not longer i have suffered depression at varing degrees.From severe to not too bad .This is a result of abuse as a child and subsiquent abuse after . But i a have been getting help for about fifteen years from first the family dr who screwed up me even worse ,several hospital admissions as it got to the stage where life to me just wasn`t worth the pain it was causing .Recent admission to a clinic where i recieved excellent care and was placed on the correct medication for my illness.The medication has helped in a great way the only draw back is the side effects that i now have to live with . While in the clinic i was taught to use relaxation as a tool for coping this has been most effective.The depression i now know will be with me for the rest of my life but it`s how it is managed is the key to coping . I talk regularly with a couple of psychologist and keep in contact with my dr but all this would not work if i didn`t have the support of a loving husband. I hope you can find what works best for you wether it be medication,relaxation or talking to a dr/psychologist to help you cope and live a full life .I wish you well
