Why is the entire country on anti depressants and ok with it?

February 13th, 2011

Whatever asked:


I feel like I am in a severe period of depression in my life. This I accept and understand, however we have a problem in this world because all of a sudden we are all feeling depressed and just turning to medication to correct it. We have a disconnect. If all of a sudden there is a surge in depression and anxiety in the country, maybe there is something wrong with the way were living and not all of a sudden how we are chemically imbalanced. I dont believe it. There is no way that all of a sudden human beings are incapable of handling lifes difficulties. Life has been difficult forever and now that there is medication which “cures” depression everyone needs it. Again,
I am going through a severe depression right now and I say this coming from the perspective of someone who thinks this world needs to change and not the chemical imbalances in our head. ANYONE AGREE???

February 8th, 2011

Chuck asked:


I recently found out that the reason I’m such a social anxiety freak and why I can’t cope with girls is becuase when I was a yound boy in my first grades I-IV I was always beeing laugh at by girls. Later on in IV-VIII grades I also experienced stuff like that. I was a very young child and was very closed in myself. Now I feel fear and anxiety.

Anxiety and Zoloft.quick question?

February 7th, 2011

??????? asked:


About a year ago, I started on 200 mg of Zoloft for anxiety and ocd. It didn’t seem to work, but about 2 months later, it was just about cured. 2 months ago I slipped my zoloft down to 100mg, and the past few days my anxiety feels pretty bad…… could it really take this long for the medicine to get into and out of my system?

I have anxiety issues?

February 7th, 2011

Mrs. Anthony Nash asked:


Recently I have been really anxious. I can’t go upstairs or downstairs during the night if no one else is down there. I am scared to leave the bathroom because I think someone is on the other side of the door waiting for me. I stayed in the bathroom for 15 minutes because I was scared, and at night I am too scared to go downstairs for water, plus I always check behind my door to make sure no one is hiding behind it. Nothing has happened lately to prompt this sudden nervousness, so I don’t know what’s causing it. I know my fears are irrational, but I can’t help it. I don’t have any physical symptoms. Do I have some type of anxiety disorder? Is there any way to cure this?

February 4th, 2011

Leanne Babes asked:


I have selective mutism (a severe anxiety disorder) and i heard that hypnotherapy can help with it. I wanna try it because i don’t think most other therapies would work very fast, i hear they can take up to 2 years till you’re free of sm. So does anyone know how much hypnotherapy is? And also in all how many sessions would i need to cure sm?

How can I stop my chronic anxiety?

February 3rd, 2011

Peter M asked:


I have generalized anxiety disorder and have been taken medication for about three years, but I’m starting to realize it’s more the way I think about things than how any medication is working. Anyway, how can I control my thoughts or distract myself or focus on other things? The most frustrating thing about this anxiety is that, before I had it, I was the most charismatic and friendly person around, but now it’s driving everyone away. Please help me!!!
