Depression sucks.
Ahhhahahaa yeah yeah yeah it does.
Bri Swifty it sounds weird, but I love the depressive mood. Feeling lonely, empty, sad. At least I feel something. Sometimes its got toomuchbut there is a certain level when I love to being depressive.
Bri Swifty it's all I know
Sucks the life out of you
facts.
I’ve realised this week that my depressions kind of sucked the life out of me and I’ve found myself even slurring and not getting my words out right, anyone else??
Same x
I have MDD. And yes, I do slur my words a lot. It's such a terrible feeling. Can't function in a normal society. Been like this for years now
Huzi Stiglitz just do Shopify if ur depressed the game of making money and the ads dats will keep u hooked
I too experience issues with speaking. Like I feel dumb sometimes. Not able to get what I want out right.
i have a hard time expressing myself and stumble my words DEPRESSION does that!
The suicide hotline did nothing for me the girl sounded like she had no idea what she was talking about at all if anything it made me feel even worse all she gave me was numbers to call and that's it.
+carlyyanne8
lol, the suicide hotline person gave you a number to another suicide hotline.
Karlie A THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO. The suicide Hotline is a freaking joke! What are they, high school volunteers? It made me so angry and motivated me to stay alive to become a therapist one day and replace the freaking losers who run that phone line. Please hang in there.
yeah theyre no count can do nothing to help a situation.
I talked with one. They just dont know. I want for death to hurry up. I do get depressed and bored alot. I work and that is about it
👐
I enjoyed the style of this video where you created lists on the screen as you were talking. It makes it easier to follow.
Hi Emily! How are you doing? Please talk to your doctor about how you’re feeling. If not the doctor then someone else you trust who can help you find the support you need. Please respond and let us know how you are. Sending hugs and healing vibes. 💕
Sunvio hey thanks. I am trying hard to learn how to love my self. I have low self esteem. I have been losing weight. I am really tired all the time. I don’t eat anything sometimes. I don’t get enough sleep. I’m in love with my best friend. He’s really nice to me. I have a tick and some times people tease me about it. I have hormone problems. Like my thyroid is not good. Thanks love ❤️ from California. Peace ✌️ out. Thanks again for the information. I am learning about different types of mental health issues.
Excellent Video! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Peyadison Initial Principality (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to get rid of depression minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy at very last got amazing results with it.
Oh I didn’t see the list on the screen?
It's true I'm male and I can't discuss this . I find it humiliating, I feel weak and pathetic. Plus I can't ever share how I feel with anyone because In my experience it's always been a negative, it's bad enough being this way but when you are ridiculed and made to feel worse . So for me personally, the worst thing is to ever open up with anyone ever . I apologise for being negative
I restarted this three times because my mind wandered while watching.
For me personally, my biggest struggle about depression is that most of the time you don't believe you'll ever get better. I've been feeling a lot like that lately "Medication might make me feel good but I'm still the same useless piece of meat I was before and my life will still suck so what's the point?" I've been like 3 months into the medication and a month into therapy but I sometimes feel like it's worthless and I'm just wasting my family's money and my therapist's time.
i know its hard but keep going thats all we can do hope for the best!
Its been 7 years now since my depression really hit me. At times im worse and at times im better. Its been a journey that's for sure. Therapy in time can give you power and control that you don't have now. How? By opening your eyes up to what's going on in your own head so you can recognise when your going out of control and you can pull the reigns back. Therapy isn't a cure, and you can only get as much out of it as you put in. Walk into that office like a detective who's gonna break the case of the depressed brain.
My dad took his life, my brother has attempted. So I just know that I was destined for this broken chemistry, and I've come to terms with the fact that ill probably be on antidepressants for the rest of my life. But thats ok, because taking meds is just apart of getting old :P
And trust me when I tell you that not getting treatment will be more of a burden to your family than the money it costs them to send you in. Your so so so lucky that your family is willing to give you that then just turn a blind eye and hoping it sorts itself out. Please embrace it, you can do this!
How r u now ?
I know this is an old video but I think a lot of people describing depression forget to mention generalized apathy. Not just to things that you used to enjoy, but also with things in general. Having the numb, unfeeling sense. I've dealt with MDD and dysthymia for a while and my main indicator is an inability to really feel emotions. This would be a lack of sadness or happiness. The people you generally enjoy being around or want to pursue, just generally aren't as interesting or make you feel the same way. That kind of thing.
she did mention anhedonia 🥺 it's such an awful feeling, or rather, lack thereof! BPD has a lot of aspects of apathy & dissociation; maybe something to look into bc BPD symptoms give a more comprehensive view of that experience.
Recently , I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and Met psychiatrist . The medicines are really working . I’m able now to go office and able to work
When I tried to get help my mom just said “your just sad” it was hard enough to ask but afterwards never mentioned it again because I feel that she would not care
I think that parents often don't understand and they might be overwhelmed by their child's situation and don't how to help...After all they're only your parents and not therapists (in some cases they might be therapists as well but not in all cases)
So maybe it would be a good idea to talk to a professional and to really seek help from a therapist!
That's their job to see why you feel sad and depressed, but parents could be overstrained...
Same and she don't believe on it. parents can't understand how we feel and that's cause they're old generation.
my mum took ages to even regonize my anxiety even after i told her so like even tho i have like 7 or 8 of these symptms that just makes me too scared to tell her and when i told my psychiatrist that i havent been feeling the best she just said it was because of corona and moved on and i didnt know how to bring it up again
Wow similar situations.
I suffer from mdd, and have for a long time. And been doing talk thearpy with medication. Dispite this, i still try and get thru my day. Though many days im in bed by 7pm or soon as i get off work. Hang in there everyone whos suffering.
I am the same way. When I get home from work, I have no life and I only want to be in bed. Then I feel guilty about time not spent with my family, but I can’t seem to change it.
I have MDD (Its been diagnosed) and NOTHING helps. I've tried everything, and there's no cure for me. I've been depressed my entire life, and I'm not exaggerating. Without the meds the only thing I feel is anger and sadness. Now I don't feel anything. I just want to feel it when I say i'm happy. I recognize the things my boyfriend does WOULD make me happy, if I could feel it. I find jokes funny, I laugh at them, but I don't feel that joy that others feel. I wish I could know what is really wrong with me. I don't even leave my bed anymore and I spend my life on VRchat because in there I don't feel the constant need to off myself...
I'm the same way and been diagnosed as well. I feel like something more is wrong with me. I've done everything doctor wise. Pills dont help me besides make me feel less emotional. I still have no joy in my life even though I know I have a good life. I should be happy I should be living my life to the fullest. But I dont even feel interested in getting out of my bed. Things i use to love bring me very little to no joy. I'm ALWAYS tired/sore. I feel like I'm wasting my life and i cant stop myself. It's like when you know your tripping but you cant catch yourself you can just prepare for impact. I always cry knowing each day I lose more time to do something with my life but even that cant help me do anything. I feel broken and helpless.
Your not alone.....Remember that
Also, it's not depression, it's capitalism.
I’m sorry you feel like this it’s something a person shouldn’t have to deal with
I’ve been diagnosed with MDD and Anxiety years ago... but I never discovered for myself what that really means...I’ve been on meds but I wanted to explain intelligently what MDD is to my love ones and this video sums up everything I feel on a daily... it’s really a struggle to get up sometimes...when people say “ get over it” or “just shake it off” it’s really not that easy and makes me more depressed that I’m too sad to be more upbeat when my mood doesn’t allow it sometimes... this video was spot on...
How r u?
I hate feeling like this i have no one to turn 2 :(
James Knight I feel depressed everyday for no reason. if that makes u feel better
James Knight I turned to holines for a while..
I turn to people and everyone just blows it off. They either don't take me seriously and say it will blow over or they start ignoring me.
James Knight same. My friends don’t even help that much.
Neither do I.
I have had depression for years now but the last few weeks something just hasn't been right. I watched this and I was like OMG almost all of those symptoms fit me. Thanks for doing what you do. Calling my doc tomorrow :)
Kelsey Q hows life now
Sheep. You dont need a pill or a doctor to say you are sad. Change something in your life.
@@eddiebacon127 No matter what a person change in their life, depression will ALWAYS be there!
On difficult days, don't look so much at the path, look at each step you've taken this far. Realize when you've already managed to walk!
I was diagnosed with Recurrent Major Depression many years ago , it was like if I was watching everything thru a glass window . My kids (2F&2M) were under 12 yrs old at the time . We lived in the same house but I didn't " watched " them grow for my mind was not there . They are all married now . I took medications ,but still the same . Two of my granddaughters ( Who are now 7 & 8 ) that are sisters , whenever they came to my house they always asked me to get up from my couch and go to the patio and play with them . Everytime was the same !! Weeks later I was a different person . I get to spend time with them many times a week . I been walked them back and forth from school since they were in " Head Start " . I take my medications , but it just took the help of two Angels to help me get up and do my best to go on with my life !!
I was diagnosed with MDD when I was 12 and the doctor who diagnosed me said I probably had it for a couple years, I'm 22, 7 years on meds, with counseling, trying to go though adolescence, I stopped taking meds when I was 19 just to see what it was like. I thought I was okay but I know I was ignoring my issues. Now watching this I realized I still have all 9 symptoms. I need to revisit the doctor and get more help.
thank you Kati
***** sure xx
YAY FOR SUN!!! It always lifts my spirit. :) I find that depressive episodes usually occur when there isn't much sum - late autumn, winter, gloomy, rainy summer or spring.
Today my therapist finally told me I have major depressive disorder. I have had depression for the last at least 8 years. I am 23. And I was an anxious kid, even at 5. And my parents have never believed I have a reason for it. Even now, they think they made a mistake in my education, because "I just want to be in the center of attention, I am just spoilt and ungrateful for everything that they have done for me."
So sorry to hear this about your parents not understanding ur struggle. . . Sending you strength and love 💕
Is extreme irritability part of depression and anxiety or not? I am extremely easily irritated to the point that I struggle to spend any time around other people or out in public, I want to be able to socialised but i can't because I become annoyed at people for no reason. Kati?
Nikki B I become angry and frustrated by my friends. During my last depressive episode, when it was worst, I didn't want to see my best freind, nor did I want to talk to her and whenever she wrote me an E-Mail I got angry at something she wrote...I would say that's definitely a symptom, but I don't know if it's like "official"...
Nikki B that's what sent me to therapy in the first place actually. and then to my GP. it turned out at that time anyway, I had PMDD. Its like the worst PMS uve ever had, but 24/7. maybe Google it and see if it resonates. just a thought. I'd never heard of it but it can be easily treated. well easily may not be right but it can be controlled. maybe even eradicated for lack of a better word. wish u the best! HTH! 😘💙
Nikki B Yes. I get extremely irritable.
yes it is
It can be part of both.
I'm so glad I came across your videos because I have MDD and it's hard to deal but I'm not giving up.
I do too. I like your mindset!! That's the way
I ALSO HAVE MDD ilove the nighttime my depression is a little less!
How are you doing now
I suffered from Major Depression for nearly a year and can tell you her explanation is of symptoms only associated with Clinical Depression, not Major. With Major Depression, you'll have insomnia that lasts for months; you tire very easily after the simplest of tasks; you have interest, but are unable to do things because you are in a constant fog; colorful plants and a Blue sky do not excite you; you have no desire to shower/bathe; your blood pressure is constantly high; your heart rate is approximately double+ your normal rest rate when you didn't have Major Depression; you have severe pain in your nerve endings; you're stools are not normal; you long for someone to be near you all of the time because you are extremely scared by your condition. Major Depression is extremely hard to treat. I was misdiagnosed 3 times and tried every psychotropic drug class on the market, none worked, except for one. I finally was blessed to find a very smart Psychiatrist who prescribed me Depakote. It took about 5 days until my insomnia began to subside. On about the 6th day, I looked out a window and the Green colors of plants were so beautiful, along with the sky. I do have to warn everyone suffering from Major Depression to NEVER take an SSRI, they are extremely dangerous to treat Major Depression. You need a mood stabilizer, like Depakote. What brought this on? Major Depression occurs after a physical trauma, from my experience and hearing from others who suffered from it. A person I know came down with it after suffering Sun poisoning in Hawaii. I came down with it after suffering severe heat stress.
Thank you Katie for putting this up. I asked my roommate to watch it so they can kinda understand me and what I go through. They said No. I was very hurt by this.I am seeing a good therapist now that I like alot. Going to bring that subject up with her.I hardly have any support.The guilt part with me is that I keep thinking I should've done more to help others. That I didn't do enough,because of my own needs. Like helping the people in my family,although they have put themselves in their own situations. But just wanted to say thanks that you have answered my every question and gotten back to me,even as being as busy as you are. I really appreciate it. XO
Also support groups can be a great help! We have one at the university I go to, so when I feel really bad I can go to one or two meetings per week and just talk about stuff and feel less alone. All the members know each other so when we see each other on campus, we stop to ask how things are going and we can actually give an honest answer because we know about each others's struggles. That's really great :-)
I admire her optimism but its kinda irrating when ur in a funk.
Her joking manner in this video is SO inappropriate! Why on Earth does she do this cutesie here's my DMS book, and that was only the start. If I weren't already so depressed, I would be watching this.
She should KNOW depression is NOT something to joke about.
Nothing would make me happier than dying but without pain or blood and gore. No one would miss me. My daughters would probably be relieved more than anything else. My 2nd ex-husband did more damage than my drunk mother, he is a psychopath and/or sociopath, plus maybe others, and he took what little self-esteem I had away. He complained about the time he was missing from work driving me 3 times a week for 10 weeks for ECT. Can you say memory loss? Can you say cognitive deficit? Yeah, let's give her 30 grand mal seizures, that'll fix her up! I couldn't remember how to get dressed initially. But most of my memory is gone and my brain isn't my brain anymore. That husband wasn't missing time at work. He had scheduled photo shoots every time I had a treatment... taking photos of nude very young women. I didn't find that out until after he announced he wanted a divorce. Now he is on wife #3 and I live in fear every day because soon alimony ends and then I can't pay my rent for this 500 sq. ft. "apartment." I need to die before that happens. I wonder if my few family members will have a party.
Chelsea Huff I feel you I seek her videos when I’m back to a stable baseline and I can tolerate .
Agree
*@Chelsea Huff* Here's a great resource that will help you treat your depression: www.ZootSad. xyz
She is very irritating.
Thank you so much for this channel Kari. Your approach to these really hard issues has helped me so much. One it has helped me understand these issues so much better and two, I love that you give us solutions; things to do. Bless you.
I recently got diagnosed with MDD and this video was very helpful, thank you ❤️
Thanks Kati! I'm working on coping with my depression until my next appointment. Thanks so much!
coping is the right word!
Is it possible to switch between symptoms of depression as in sleeping to much/not sleeping at all or eating too much/not eating enough? Sometimes I will go through periods where I sleep all day for months and then something will switch and I am up until 6am no matter how tired I am with no explanation. The same thing happens with my eating. I think that I get myself out of the depression when it switches, but is it just that my symptoms change?
Courtney Leighton i have been diagnosed with mdd and throughout my depressive episode and before I reached the worst part of it I slept a lot, like 16 to 18 hours a day and didn't really ate at all, and during and after the worst part I didn't slept at all, I had insomnia and it was so bad and I ate until I felt like throwing up, so yeah, at least in my own experience, these can vary, but I am not a professional
Andrea Barahona same here...
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I go through the same thing. I can stay in bed for a week, and then... like now... I can not sleep all night, and will get a few hours in the afternoon. I'm not Bi-polor though, I have never ever had 'mania' before. But I will go a few days 'up' running errands, cleaning.. then I'm so fatigued I get stuck and can't do anything. I have NO insurance and I live in FL so it's really really ruff sometimes, and when it gets really bad I have constant nagging thoughts of suicide. I'm the same way with the food thing too. Well, I don't mean to unload but just reach out and say yes, you are not alone or the only one. It's so hard for people with our condition to find people who can relate.
Courtney Leighton I have MDD and I experience the switching back and forth. I, too, am not a Dr, but this is what I have been diagnosed as and my Dr is fully aware, as well as my therapist and psychiatrist, of all my symptoms. Hope this helps!!
Yeah like sometimes I can't fall asleep till 5 am (which was happening all summer and before :( ) but then I'd get a good nights sleep but sleep in till 2 PM or fall asleep on the couch and sleep the whole day. I go through periods of only eating like a bowl of cereal to stuffing my face every moment even when I'm not hungry, I just can't stop. I've defiantly been depressed and it's frustrating and idk what to do. Hopefully my therapy helps in the long run
Hi, Kati. This video has helped me get out of bed and out of my room this afternoon. Thanks. Am going to watch more videos.
keeping a journal can help one to recognize their mental states and symptoms, and patterns among them. im sure kati mentions it in other videos, in fact i think i have heard her do so, but i think with MDD it can be very helpful. love is everywhere all the time ❤️
I would just like to share about how I help myself with this condition. I don't beat myself up if I sleep all day but get up to do something physical (like walking out of the bedroom) the next day. If I really dont want to get up I try to think of one thing I am willing to do and I do that. Then I keep doing baby steps for as long as it takes. i am kinder to myself and understand myself from previous counseling also. A book I really love is called "Getting through the Day" by Nancy J Napier. It is written with a lot of insight and love. Peace.
This sounds exactly like me!! I’ve never heard of this before. Finally an answer 😩
I would try to describe to people that I felt like I was carrying the guilt of a as if I committed murder and I didn’t know why I felt that way!? I’ve never heard of this disorder before!
Severely Depressed mood for extended lengths of time (longest period being a year)
Inability to feel pleasure/joy in anything that should or normally would
Inappropriate GUILT
Thoughts of wantito die (to end the suffering)
Insomnia ANd Need a lot of sleep (10hrs)
Indecisive!!
Agitated
Unquenchable Need to exert energy OR super heavy and difficulty with being active and productive (never at the same time tho)
Poor memory
Difficulty with concentration
Short Periods of time of feeling “better” or normal
I wanted to thank you. On Sunday night I was having a really bad night and considering just taking a bunch of pills. I stumbled on this video and you are just wonderful. You are honest and to the point and I think it's wonderful. I called my doctor on Monday so we upped a med now I just have to wait and see if it helps.
I know this video is old but I am happy I came across it. I was diagnosed with MDD back in summer 2018. Its really interesting in my case that my depression hits at an all time high during the summer months. It has affected my work habits and concentration. I pray I get the proper treatment.
I mostly feel like life is enough, low pleasure from life
still keeping it up and making the best of it👍👍
I have a huge lack of concentration. I've been doing poorly in my classes. I can't even concentrate on my favorite tv show. I finally got an appointment but I have to cancel cause it falls on my first day of school. I won't be able to see a psychiatrist until late Nov.
If you can't concentrate in school, getting help is maybe more important than first schoolday?
Woke Favela hows life now?
thefedexkid Hi hope you have received some help since. Just thought I'd mention my Son had the same problem at School was referred to a Peadiatrician..for Suspected ADD.. He was Diagnosed with ADHD INATTENTIVE TYPE.. He is now taking CONCERTA 54mg and it has made a Huge difference, his friends at school noticed the change on the first day and he hadn't told them anything!
have every category, it’s so exhausting in every way but I don’t even have the energy or the confidence to reach out . feel so alone and out of place .
I love the way she explains it
Thanks for all the amazing videos Kati!
Can you might do a video about Night terrors and other sleep disorders? I have expirienced it for years, and for some periods its better, but now its worse again, and I dont know if there is anything that can help having a normal sleep.
Therapy never worked for me, and my meds aren't working either. I'm stuck in a hole, even when my life is looking good I still want to die. My depression is biologically inherited from my mothers side, part of me hates her for having me when she knew it would be a possibility I would get it. I wish I didn't exist.
LadyTofu ..i hear ya loud n clear im the same way😢
LadyTofu ME TOO!! 😞
Me as well im hoping new treatments come out soon.
Yes I know how you feel
I totally understand. I have found taking a fish oil supplement along with my anti depressant helps boost the effectiveness. Also 20 minutes of sunshine. Hope that might help. I know it’s so hard.
I have major depressive disorder and thanks for the video. Deep breath work helps during the day.
I was recently diagnosed with MDD, I never thought I could seek for help. It was totally worthy.
You can talk to people, try get a support group, join a forum (like Kati's) to get help. There's also the controversial medication which can have unwanted side effects so if you use it make sure you know what you're doing so the mess help you, not harm you. Personally I like to watch ASMR videos to help me.
How do I make an appointment with you. I find that my therapist just stares at me and doesn't help. I think I'm really struggling. Can you make a video on how to find the right therapist.
Hannah Grey I've blown up at therapist fer that shit. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since I was 16. Now my estranged wife thinks I also have BPD. If yer therapist just sits there like a bump on a log hun find a new one. I hate therapist like that.
Hannah Grey I've had the same experience.
Hannah Grey I had a therapist like that. She would literally just stare and nod. It was like talking to a random person at a bus stop about my problems. Anyways, my therapist now is much better, not perfect, but better. I think she actually cares for her patients.
Yea first get some cbd oil chances are it will pull you out of your rut then reevaluate who you fell comfortable talking about it with find someone you know and trust I find it easier to talk to someone who has a mental illness (I fell they have more insight and experience with coping methods plus they know what you're going through) instead of a stranger it's way easier to talk about it as a past tense then present I hope my advice helps someone else out there I thought my life was done I had planned it out and everything thank God I'm a stoner or else I may have ended it long ago you are suffering from a mental condition and the thoughts in your head is not the normal you
Hannah Grey I
Recently diagnosed.. because of multiple serious health conditions... I was actually surprised..I was sure of anxiety and anger issues but not depression..
Your reversal in time made my day better
I dig the entire video (duh), but I think my favorite part is the rewind noise. It reminded me of the VHS days. #BeKindPleaseRewind
***** Yeah, I definitely don't miss them at all lol. I remember how amazed I was when I learned that DVDs were a new thing that allowed you to watch movies without spending 8 hours rewinding the damn tape lol. #DoYouBelieveInMagic
@@CarlybutreallyBATMANBraverman You look much too young to remember that! lol
I am all for death with dignity. Everyone should have a choice. My MDD has changed the way I look at assisted suicide.
Use the power of prayer and ask God to carry you, but keep fighting the depression monster, keep fighting!
I agree that we should respect the right to die, but I don't think it's a good choice unless you're terminally ill and in enough pain that everything else becomes secondary. In the end, nobody else can really stop you, but death offers no second chance and you will be sorely missed every day.
I feel the same. People live with mental illness for most of their lives and sometimes we can’t even function enough to gain anything out of life
my therapist doesn't believe in Depression!
I recently started watching your videos. I am a final year psychologist. Your videos are really informative ❤️ And they're so fun as well. Love it
This is why mental health CZcamsrs are so valuable (and why I wish to become one!) they educate and empower everyday people to better understand mental health - love it! Wishing you the best with psychology Misheal
Thank you for giving me an insight, I'm doing an assignment on it. I learn better from CZcams than readings books and listening to lectures for hrs lol
Hi Kati! Could you give advice on being diagnosed and then un diagnosed with mental illnesses? I have been diagnosed and I diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 four times now and it's starting to get irritating, as I'm not receiving help even though I know I am bipolar. Xxx
i suffer major depression and i have suicidal thoughts:(((((
Please read my comments at the top. Well at least that's where they are for now.
So do I, you are not alone. It's really hard for me to find people who can relate to what I go through as well.
That's JustJoe me too:(
Marilyn Canty have no certificate but i have.hope we gonna better all of us.
You will get better. I know I’m just a person putting up a message on someones video, but i have been there and done that. It took me 3.5 years.
Hi kati,I`ve had major depression since I was child.I suffered til I was in my 40`s .But with good mental cate I got much better
Thanks much for the tips Katie❤️
Well I knew I had Depression for a long time.. but seeing that everything fits me is sad.
It's okay I feel the same way but knowing were all in this together makes me feel better
Is it possible depression cure itself ? And is it possible it come back because the change of environment or some triggers ? Will anti depressants prevent and help to prevent or stop it from coming back?
Sorry that's lots of questions. Appreciate if you answer those ❤️❤️❤️thanks Katie. You are awesome !
I like your non-pressure approach when talking about mental disorders :)
Amen, I can so relate to all the things your reading here..... I have major depression , I've been on pills from the age 17 I am 46 years old and no longer take pills.... All the years I've been on meds they either dont work or only work for a short time and would wind up making me even more depressed and hopeless..... so now I watch your videos, I dont know what Id do without your advise Katie thank you .
Had this non stop for years. Wellbutrin helps but still have issues getting out of bed, especially around this time of year. Before I got sober (used to abuse a lot of amphetamines / opiates / benzos) psychiatrists thought I actually had schizophrenia. Luckily I don't have that illness but depression still really fucking sucks...
Jacki Hadaway your life sounds exactly like mine. the drugs make it just that much worse. I believe well get through it one day
I'm on the same exact page. We will keep fighting it 👍
I'm a morning person because after a nap I feel better. so I get up at sunrise and go about my day. long before the day is done, I'm mentally kicking myself to keep going, and longing for bed time.
8 out of 9 symptoms.... i think i know a new subject to talk about with my therapist
I was always a tough guy with a tough guy career, but depression brought me to my knees. Use the power of prayer and ask God to carry you.
I like listening to you. You are knowledgeable and friendly.
I find myself laughing that i have every single one of those. Is that a good sign? Lol ...i just want out of this hell

lois banks congratulations! Hope you're proud of yourself, I am!
Soo proud of you
Thanks for this. Doctor recommended me to see a psychiatrist for my major depressive disorder. I myself have been in a rut and feeling very fatigue all the time.
Hi Kati! I have translated this video to spanish, mexican spanish =) and I plan translating a few ones and hope this help someone, I have nothing left to tell you just thank you for letting me contribute a little to your channel.
#katifaq Hello Kati, I was wondering how much would or should a therapist pay attention to patients religious beliefs? What factors would the therapist consider?
Thanks.
hi! I know you asked +Kati this question, but I'm answering from my experience. I've had some therapists that paid no attention to my religion and didn't care that it was even part of my life. Then I've had therapists that, if they don't share the beliefs I have, they at least research it and ask me questions! and it was with those therapists I saw the most success. if religion even hits your radar, I firmly (and one of few things I will be bold about) believe that a therapist would use that as part of whatever recovery or healing process you are working through.
Is MDD the same thing as clinical depression?
When I was 12 I was diagnosed with clinical depression, which went away when I was about 14. It didn't come back until I was 16 but now everyone calls it Major Depressive Disorder and I'm very confused about that. xD
Also, I want to say that now I'm not depressed majority of the time, I only get depressed when my OCD gets bad. Depression is very manageable. I know it's different for everybody, but for me I got over my first bout of depression by finding something to hope for. :) Now, since it's linked with my OCD, working on my OCD makes my depression feel better, too. Keep working on yourself and finding things to be happy about! Even little things can make all the difference. :)
Yeah it's the same clinical depression is more the lay term or what countries that don't use the dsm (e.g. uk) would use. they only at clinical in front to differentiate the illness from people who use depression to mean feeling a bit down.
+Louisyed *only put clinical in front
Ah, thanks ***** and *****! :)
MDD and clinical depression are not the same thing. MDD is a very acute, severe form of depression with symptoms presenting themselves for at least 2 weeks. It typically lasts from 3 months to year (rarely longer).
ShalomAleichem {Mental Health Vlogs} hello! I have the same difficultly... My depression can be manage...Yet my OCD amply my inner-voice in guiltily me! How did you brake the cycle!? Thank you...
Anything helps I am seeking for answers, shalom!
I've had crippling depression since I was 4 years old suicides attempts starting at 5 or 6 years old with the last attempt being one a year ago. As an adult I suffer not only from major depression and anxiety but also complex trauma. Though I am well liked I have very few friends because it's too hard to make connections with people. I've tried CBT, diet and exercise, psychotherapy, talk therapy, group therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient psychiatric care and every type of medication that has ever been created both pharmaceutical, natural or experimental and nothing has ever helped. I'm turning 45 tomorrow and have just come to terms with the fact that I will never get better. Luckily I live in a bad neighborhood in Chicago so it's only a matter of time before I get shot.
Me, going through this channel, diagnosed with MDD....
Oh a video about me, I'm going to watch it!

I’ve had a depressive episode at least once a year since I was 16 years old. I’m 37 years old. I loose a couple of months every 24 months. I take anti depressants & peer support groups have saved my life multiple times. I’m successful, achieved ALOT in my life, career, education, travel & personal life... I’m just wired this way. It’s in my genes (family has a history) just know some can’t be fixed, cured. For some it’s seasonal & needs to be managed.
Thank you for sharing Amy, Sounds like it's a life long grind. Wishing you the best and it's inspiring to hear about your endurance :)
I just want u to understand you are special since you were born. I am really depressed too just like u, and people dont understand what is going on since their ignorant. remember you are beautiful and there is someone out there that likes you unconditionally.

Zeenish Imroz same
Ilovecaptaincold Has has a
Very informative. Very bright happy presentation.
Thank you for your video！
I have MDD for 3 years, a 18 years old boy fromChina
thank you for your videos, i've been dealing with depression for a while. i've seen many doctors took many treatments, now i am getting at a point where i ask my self : why bother at all. i stopped taking my medication for almost two months, now i am nack at it, sleeping most of the day.. i have my exams coming soon, i don't feel like studying and i dont have the power to either, i cant read a book, i dont feel like talking to any one , not even a therapist i dont see the point, and the fact that i might fail my exams ... makes me anxious and careless at the same time. I really think that this time it wont just pass, it won't go away and nothing will help. sorry that was probably too long, but i feel helpless... still thank you again for your videos and your energy
i have MDD and its hard sometimes!
I love her style
Spot on. Just wished there are more awareness on this subject.
🌹🌹. i like what u did
i’m a pharmacist and i know much about depression keep on ❤️
In 2017 my lifelong depression came to a head. Had ALL of these symptoms, 24/7 for months. Thought only of Death. Had worked at my shop 17 years... but I went mute on them. Cared about nothing. Just stopped going in. I was let go, evicted on paper (relatives helped). The mail and electric were shut off 'cause I did nothing but lie on the couch. My cat had to be taken elsewhere. Death was all that mattered to me.... It was unbelievable; I couldn't control my thoughts! Through a miracle, I quickly got on Disability. On the paperwork it says "Major Depressive Disorder" ---Doing better, 64 yrs old
i thought that i was all alone. you made me feel better
#KatiFAQ Hi Kati! Lately I've been struggling between being selfish and selfless. Sometimes I feel really selfish and guilty about always thinking about myself, and other times, I feel really selfless and that I'm giving everything to everyone or trying to understand everyone else and no one is trying to understand me. Then, because of being upset about giving too much, I become selfish and angry and want to know why no one is helping me, and the cycle keeps going. Where is the middle and how do I find it? My therapist tells me that she feels if we don't take care of ourself, who will, but on the other side, it's good to be there for other people as a distraction. Thank you, and I love your videos!!
Spot on, i get aches and anxiety, struggle most days. Keep feeling very scared. My psych keeps telling me anxiety is not depression though, i believe it is
I knew I had depression. I was diagnosed with it from previous therapists. But yesterday I was diagnosed with this specifically. I have never had a diagnosis fit SO PERFECTLY. I can align with every single one of those symptoms. Holy shit
The first 6, number 8 & 9 happens to me the most often. But since I’ve been on Zoloft, it’s been the best I’ve ever tried & seeing my counselor helps a lot too. I also have generalized anxiety.
Something else that helps me a lot is staying active, going to work, exercising all helps me too
Thank you. Good video.
Thanks Kati for having share these videos right from so long .. because ay kind of any disease happening to you doesnot choose by age, generation or race etc etc but they just come..
This definitely explains me! I also have social anxiety.
Whenever I try to talk to people about it or just tell them how tired I am I get criticized and mocked. I get told that I have no reason to feel tired because I'm young (24), single and have no children.
I'm so sad I just want to cry. I don't know what to do. I really wish I was never born, this life is not fair. 😢
Jasmine Mitchell ... okay even though your way older then me I understand you I’m 16 . I have social anxiety too and well depression and just sometimes anxiety and it all sucks because social anxiety makes your depression worst .
MDD caused me to get psychosis, hallucinations, and delusions as well, despite having no history in my family or myself for the previous 10+ years I’d had depression. I was put on soooo many meds over the space of 2 years that never worked, that they made my psychosis go ballistic. I was eventually put on an antipsychotic which helped by kickstarting my brain again. I’ve now been unmedicated for 6 years, still in the same job, still got my friends; however I still have MDD and psychosis, I just cope better :-) good luck to everyone!!!
i realy like the way you talk about your subject
I’ve had this disorder twice. Once when I was in high school and now I currently have it again. A combination of losing my father and breaking up with my ex girlfriend has caused me to feel empty and sluggish all the time I have to will myself to do most things. The part that honestly helps the most tho is when I joke about my depression to other people. It’s like a strange way of therapy because I’m pretty much telling them how I feel only I exaggerate on it to make it funny so they don’t think I’m serious. But In fact I usually am. Great video btw!
i’m 16 & been depressed since i was 12. last year i finally got bad enough with my depression that i reached out for help at my school & realized that i got so myself dragged into the emergency room on suicide protocol.... so guys you gotta understand. if you don’t want to end up in a mental hospital if you’re not on edge to kill your self.. then never say “i’m having suicidal thoughts, or thoughts if hurting myself.” this is a major key to getting yourself locked up for awhile... another thing is therapy i find more beneficial than medication. i was put on a few different medicines so far & it just sucks. i saw no change over months of being on high dose. so i stopped taking it. not the best idea but i survived it. so if you wanna get professional help. see a doctor & have them refer you somewhere (remember to not mention certain phrases to lead yourself somewhere you don’t need to be), or if you’re a minor just contact someone you trust & hopefully they can get ya where you need yk be
