  1. i've had all of these minus the sui and weight loss/gain for over 10 years. at this point i think depression is just like an adhd introvert.

  2. Well, depression isn't sadness, it's not an emotion at all, it is actually a state of mind, because I personally have had depression, but I could still feel joy, though sadness is a feeling that I deeply struggle to feel, even over the death of a loved one, I know that by experience. What depression really is is a severe sense of hopelessness, and that is one of the most common states of mind I ever feel. Great video otherwise. 🙂

  3. Im been suffering from Major Depressive disorder since my late teens, even now i still have it & its not getting better, nothing makes me or never been normal state for several years. Ive tried meds that hardly work & talked to counselor but it didn't help me. I felt hopeless like there's nothing left to do.

  4. This video resinates I have depression ,ed , anxiety ,low testosterone , low self esteem , diabetes , pain , sadness , empitness , anger , insomnia . Miss being confident , full of life , healthy , higher testosterone feeling alive .

  5. People who do not have it won't believe that these conditions exist. They merely will dismiss it as an attention seeking behavior and may even misinterpret it to be a made up condition by a person to justify their quick irritability.

  6. I have depression, I'm taking antidepressants but still don't work, I feel hopeless, and have low self-esteem, low energy, and loss of appetite. I sleep to not think troubling thoughts. I lost all motivation to do the things I used to enjoy doing.

  7. After watching this, I think I need to have myself checked especially because I do have suicidal ideation. We are moving to a new house in a more provincial area and out of nowhere I just had this thought of hanging myself in my room though I never have the guts to hurt myself. This and some other signs.

  8. i have most of the symptoms of clinical disorder. everytime i take an online test it says i do have it but i refuse to believe so since i dont trust myself and its better if i consult a doctor
