I just want my depression to go away. I was diagnosed my sophomore year of high school. Although I know it’s not good for me, I hold on to the person I used to be. Fun fact: my profile picture is from that year. I remember the satisfaction of getting good grades and being engaged in the classroom. I felt like I was thriving. I ended up with Straight A’s that year. Things changed that Summer and everything went downhill. I started to sleep more. I felt the disappointment from others and myself. I feel bright but not motivated. School had become a struggle. I started having issues with memory. It made it really hard to remember any class readings. I ended up failing English class and taking the course during the summer. That summer, I noticed that it took me longer to complete the course but I was lucky that it was self-paced. The physical symptoms just make it worse. I have changed my mindset and that makes me feel much better about myself but, learning, which I enjoy, seems almost impossible. I am now heading into college. I have no idea about what I want to be. I don’t even know what I like. Maybe I have such a low interest in myself. The bright side is that I’m going to community college for free on a choir scholarship. I am so thankful and excited to be a part of the choir. Like I said before, I really don’t want to be depressed anymore - and I imagine many that suffer from it also feel this way - because I have good years ahead of me. I need to feel in control. -Andrew ♥️

I was diagnosed with this at age 12.. still struggling but it's alot better now.

I experience all these symptoms and even had severe anxiety i was diagnosed about a week ago with both severe depression and anxiety as much as i see happiness and love i dont feel it its like almost incapable it seems

why is it with low quality of the video, usually Khan academy has good quality of the video

This is a really informative video. Thank you so much for making it. :D

Great video. Very knowledgeable..

Thank you so much for the information

The best presentation on the topic I have seen yet.

I've had all these symptoms, some more than others but it's been for years not for a short while.

thank you

Wow!! This is so true!! I still go through this at times, but not as bad as before. On medication that works this time. In a much better place these days!! The overwhelming pain was so intense. I didn’t want to take a shower, go out side just getting dressed was a task. I was 200 lbs. went down to 172lbs didn’t want to eat. Didn’t want to be around anyone. Wanting to end my life. I tried twice. OMG!! Just overthinking all of the time. The negative thoughts overwhelming. It was like I was trapped in my mind. Never though I would ever get to the other side. It’s like I was falling down a deep dark hole with no end. Was totally drained of all energy. I had to give up my apartment and move in with my daughter. I was hopeless. Such a bad place to be. Wanting to give up each and every day. My blood pressure was 195 over 92. I had to check myself into a mental hospital. People always ask me how are you doing. I lied and say that I’m fine thank you. I was far from being ok. To me my life was over. Each and every day was a struggle. Thank God for my wonderful daughter. She was like daddy you need help and fast. She made me check myself into a mental hospital. I was there for a month. If you never suffered from mental illness you would never understand the pain. Please get help. Do not give up!

The book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels uses a mindfulness approach. Share it! It can really help someone. Mindfulness is like a personal trainer for the mind.

It is hard to watch with such low quality video resolution.

Very good!!!!! Except that the video is a little blurry. It would be very helpful if you guys correct it.

Very informative! Thank you so much! 😃😃 19/3/2019

I love your voice.

also just learn to accept depression. It aint goin away any time soon.

great video but so blurry! i cant see anything. please re-record

Why don't psychiatrist explain this? I literally have had multiple labels but no diagnosis until about a year ago, but right before my Dr. Moved he tells me he does not think I I have what he diagnosed me with. However they put me on medicine that I feel I should have a diagnosis for or don't prescribe me the medicine at all! I get why some people don't know they have a mental illness,but it's not true for every single illness. Someone with depression knows it and completely understands something isn't right. I am frustrated with mental health doctors.

Can you tell me what is different between major depressive disorder and depressive episode

I love your videos, but the sound is awful. Please adjust that to a higher volume.

great video but you didn't address what a "major depressive disorder" is.

My classes were very good throughout primary and secondary school. My mother used to help me with my studies. I was also a popular kid at school. In the 5th grade, my mother got sick. and he stopped helping me with my studies. I was very upset. but I continued until the middle school exam. I couldn't study at all in my exam year and went to a bad high school. I lost my self-confidence. I was trembling and very quiet when talking to people. Then the covid virus entered and 2took years. I started 11th grade when covid ended. For 1 year, I just studied without speaking to anyone. I was successful in my studies. but now I'm in 12th grade and I can't do anything about the lesson. I think my life is out of my hands. and I feel so alone. please help mewhat do i have???

I would have gotten more out of this if the writing was larger and easier to read.

Do depressed individuals get the thoughts of doing new actions so as to find their happiness ?????

240P??? Seriously? Otherwise, very informative.

So the biological basis of depression (another KA video) says depression shows increased activity in limbic systems and this video says the opposite....?

"What does the Bible say about depression? How can a Christian overcome depression?" Answer: Depression is a widespread condition, affecting millions of people, Christians and non-Christians alike. Those suffering from depression can experience intense feelings of sadness, anger, hopelessness, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms. They may begin to feel useless and even suicidal, losing interest in things and people that they once enjoyed. Depression is often triggered by life circumstances, such as a loss of job, death of a loved one, divorce, or psychological problems such as abuse or low self-esteem. The Bible tells us to be filled with joy and praise (Philippians 4:4; Romans 15:11), so God apparently intends for us all to live joyful lives. This is not easy for someone suffering from situational depression, but it can be remedied through God's gifts of prayer, Bible study and application, support groups, fellowship among believers, confession, forgiveness, and counseling. We must make the conscious effort to not be absorbed in ourselves, but to turn our efforts outward. Feelings of depression can often be solved when those suffering with depression move the focus from themselves to Christ and others. Clinical depression is a physical condition that must be diagnosed by a physician. It may not be caused by unfortunate life circumstances, nor can the symptoms be alleviated by one's own will. Contrary to what some in the Christian community believe, clinical depression is not always caused by sin. Depression can sometimes be caused by a physical disorder that needs to be treated with medication and/or counseling. Of course, God is able to cure any disease or disorder. However, in some cases, seeing a doctor for depression is no different than seeing a doctor for an injury. There are some things that those who suffer from depression can do to alleviate their anxiety. They should make sure that they are staying in the Word, even when they do not feel like it. Emotions can lead us astray, but God's Word stands firm and unchanging. We must maintain strong faith in God and hold even more tightly to Him when we undergo trials and temptations. The Bible tells us that God will never allow temptations into our lives that are too much for us to handle (1 Corinthians 10:13). Although being depressed is not a sin, one is still accountable for the response to the affliction, including getting the professional help that is needed. “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that confess his name” (Hebrews 13:15).

i couldnt finish watching your video bc its inaccurate. i have major depressive disorder. it is very different from depression. educate yourself before wasting time with false facts. your mdd info is the decription for depression.

Listened to the above lecture. Leave your philosophy at the door. By this I mean people who do not believe in gay marriage may not be prejudiced as you imply. Perhaps their religious, social and culture attitudes has been strengthened by traditional thinking along to road to maturation. With 98% of Americans married to the opposite sex are you implying they are all prejudiced?

sharing though, one of the best way to fight depression is exercise which can encourage your brain to rewire itself, it also boosts feel-good .planet ayurveda
