My doctor told me that i was depressed it wasn't my idea and then the meds pushed me even lower to the point of attempted suicide. Yeah what a laugh it's party time around me everyday. It's so easy to judge others when you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Don't believe it
@@T5ZplayerBecause you’re a boomer dimwit.
See my comment. Just posted it. Take care
I agree. Many people committed suicide when given anti depressants. Prozac I believe was very dangerous to take. Del Shannon was given these … he put a shotgun in his mouth.
Yeah, I refuse to take antidepressants for that reason. I was 24 when prescribed 150mg of sertaline. The doctor bare in mind would have known under 25s on antidepressants have a higher suicide rate. So I stopped taking them and refused to since. They aren't a cure and I have enough medications for my other problems without becoming a walking pharmacy.
Leo has zero clue what he’s talking about, you realise how hard it is to even get an adhd diagnosis on the nhs? 😂
It takes about a day privately
My daughter had hers done privately in a couple of weeks after waiting years since her early teens, she's 20 now. NHS mental health is not fit for purpose.
He's a comedian doing cosplay media.
@@Codysdab and private diagnoses are a legal scam run by pharmacists to get vulnerable people on £150/month drug treatments
Adhd doesnt mean you cant work. Laazy
They don't understand how anxiety and depression affects people I lost my mother October 2020
And I didn't get help until September 2023 where I was suffering with extreme anxiety and serve depression
And I got no help and I lost one Job due to being in and out of work
And I'm now on a zero-hour contract
Depression is crippling unless you have suffered it you don't understand it
I understand. Read my comment I just posted. Take care
I lost my mum that year too and ive worked constantly. No excuse. Grow up and deal with it thats actually the answer.
If you fall off your bike get straight back on or you wont want to ride again. Exactly the same philosophy
I did have a job in my early 20s, I lasted 8 weeks,the run upto Christmas it was getting busier, I had panic attack while serving a customer and they left with (at the time) a £30 leather purse (probably worth 50 now) and I got the hoof. Went on benefits after that,a guy came out to see if I a really needed them and said within 3 minutesof meeting me he knew I could not cope with people at all. I could barely leave the house by myself, while now I am able to leave the house, it's only to feed the horses which I bought to help force me to go outside and thus have fresh air and hopefully improve my mental health. When it's just me and the horse in the arena I am like an entirely different person, compared to when people are arriving to see to their horses. There are some I can talk to for a short while now. So it is improving (it's taken 8 years and will probably take at least another 8 before I'm anywhere near ready to have a job where I have to deal with people) others will say "work from home" but id still hace to do phone calls and web chats whoch i cannot do. I still can't phone the doctor or dentist myself to book an appointment. I have to take the phone through to my mother and have her do it, she also has to come with me and sit in the appointments.
As someone who claims benefits and suffers from depression and anxiety, this is ridiculous, I literally rely on benefits to keep a roof over my head and if it's just so easy for people to just pop pills and carry on, don't you think we would of done it by now?
@@JT-es8tw you can't paint everyone with the same brush. Believe me,, I'd rather be well and back in work rather than living with this shit.
The only people I have a problem with are the day drinkers and druggies who do nothing all day and live off taxpayer money. If you're unemployed but are actively looking for work or training then you're fine. It's tough out there, I get it.
Doesn't matter what the "rules" are, people will present at GP surgeries with what ever gets them paid. Just do as the rest of the world do time limit awards.
@@JT-es8tw because they do nor really suffer from depression
@@Dovahkiin8646 there go but for the grace of God remember that little phrase lad, I work part time just lost both parents and suffer anxiety which is made worse because I'm literally worse off working...i earn with a small sum towards rent from. Uni credit under a grand a month which is swallowed up by rent, gas, electric, council tax, bedroom tax, water who fir some reason are charging ne 48 pound a month despite being home only a few hours a day before going to bed and I get hardly any help especially now I get no health help... But there are also nit enough jobs that can allow people too earn a living. There may be lots of zero hour contracts out there and part time so don't judge people on drugs or alcahol addiction like you know what your talking about it's lazy and exactly what the tories want you to do... Blame our unfortunate sick and poor while giving similar amounts in foreign aid to rich countries like India, aid fir foreign wars and 10m.a day to house illegal immigrants so don't show your rage at the most vulnerable ask the tories instead why tax loopholes still have not been closed for Google, amazon, Facebook whose tax alongside the billionaires tax dodgers that could easily pay income support to everybody.... Honestly people like you need to give your head a good fckn wobble
Forget retiring, future will be work until you drop with the government lining us up for our daily meals
I have bpd, trying working with that condition, or working along side me.... It's best for everyone if I stay at home trust me.
Snap!
@sh.4409 having bpd is horrible isn't it 😥 we have the highest rate and risk of suicide out of any other disorder, but yet they want to break us even more
apparently I have that condition...but I choose not to believe National Horror Service Psychoterrorists anymore...they are obsessed & dangerous people...!
Get back to work and vote Tory.
@sarahosman4933 I was diagnosed with bpd but I've since researched and I think it was complex ptsd. Researching for myself has helped me far more than any doctor or mental health professional but I'm not bitter as I'm getting better lol and just grateful I'm still alive
My 14yr old son has ADHD so badly that he needs to be medicated just to be able to help him in everyday life. So stop banging on about ADHD. Trust me as a mother I would not wish it on my worst enemy, and it took childrens services getting involved by myself to help speed up getting his diagnosis. So just stop Leo.
2 year waiting list for adhd (kids) diagnosis here in n.i.
Back to what work?
Walking through the high street every day on my way home from work, the only happy people I ever see are the tramps. They are always huddled together laughing and joking.
Why should they be called tramps? Dehumanising
This guy is cringe pop the meds on the bus too work when some people can not even wake up due to the effects of meds is a joke
Shame that
@@T5Zplayer not sure if your trying ti be funny but mental health isnt a joke
@@mschokesondik103 When its real its not a joke,
@@T5Zplayer Clearly you haven't suffered from it then. Well I'm genuinely happy for you that all is well and good for you and I mean that, but depression is very real , it's not pleasant to suffer from and cope with and I wouldn't wish it on an enemy. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't real and if you took the time to even talk to the people closest to you, you may find that it is closer to home than you realise.
@@michaelschofield2870 You make too many assumptions as well then.
This reminds me of the Not the nine o'clock news sketch when the tories put a tax on walking sticks and wheelchairs 😂
they also did hospital bed bidding
Sick pay is like 90£ a week, living it up woohoo😂
its actually £116.75 a week
Which adds up to 10s of £billions of tax money being scrounged
@@T5ZplayerNot really, people buy stuff with that money and tax is included in the price.
@@T5Zplayerwhich goes right back into the economy, as the main man Kevin bridges says, it’s not the poor people spending that’s the problem, it’s the rich saving.
@@T5Zplayer If you made even the bare minimum of effort to learn about this topic you'd discover that taxpayer's cash spent on things like benefits or sick pay pales into insignificance when compared to the money that's lost to people at the top - subsidies that end up as shareholder payouts for energy/water/rail companies being a very good example. Stop trying to blame the poorest people in the country for the horrendous choices and agendas of the Tory government.
The money saved can then be spent on immigrants
jocko & a yank - yeh experts as usual
Really
The Muslipolitan police.
But they are ok with big pensions
The UK has a culture of "medical victimhood". Too many people want benefits for these flimsy diagnoses. We are all depressed and anxious at times in our lives - its part of the human condition. Some of us just suck it up and get on with life. Others collapse in a heap and expect the taxpayer to support them.
Reform of this system is quite right...just not by the tories.
At times yes. I am anxiety 24/7 365. Even sitting in my bedroom I am on edge, can't leave the house, if someone speaks to me I have e a panic attack and either try to stab them or run across the road in front of oncoming traffic. Not all of us are scammers, some of us actually need this money. I have had someone come out to check I wasn't faking and he said without j 3 minutesof meeting me he knew I couldn't cope with people.
Imagine we live in world where we have access to google,CZcams etc you would think people would educated themselves on certain conditions before speaking ingorant mouth
Talking shit!
Stop giveing to the people money. Who have paid nothing to this country.
Learn to spell.
You know benefits are paid to people who in turn use them to pay for things, yes? It's the rich people hoarding money that is the problem
Trying to get a permanent stable job(no pun intention) is getting insane even with some advanced qualifications in admin and accounts while being a factory floor worker even other factories are not hiring they seem to be taking in all the new immigrants though it may be hypocrisy as I am a second generation Polish immigrant.
