Depression

[AlcoholBrazil]

Christmas and New Year is the time of the year when the Black Dog bites hardest. Emotions are riding a roller-coaster of alcohol, family, finance and affairs of the heart. Just make sure you are strapped for the ride.
See it as just a date on the calendar , not some magical Disneyland fairy tale .

You need to talk to people and understanding people will not be worried but will be a sounding post and sympathetic.

The Western Commercialised version of Christmas and New Year is shit. Blame that, not the festival or sentiment. Greed perverts. That's the fucking tradegy. Mourn the loss of that.

If it was severe depression you would not be functioning either way.Read up but as a starter this is about Major Depression

Major Depression

You may hear your doctor call this "major depressive disorder." You might have this type if you feel depressed most of the time for most days of the week.

Some other symptoms you might have are:

Loss of interest or pleasure in your activities
Weight loss or gain
Trouble getting to sleep or feeling sleepy during the day
Feelings of being "sped up" or "slowed down"
Being tired and without energy
Feeling worthless or guilty
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Thoughts of suicide

Your doctor might diagnose you with major depression if you have five or more of these symptoms on most days for 2 weeks or longer. At least one of the symptoms must be a depressed mood or loss of interest in activities.

Talk therapy can help. You'll meet with a mental health specialist who will help you find ways to manage your depression. Medications called antidepressants can also be useful.

When therapy and medication aren't working, two other options your doctor may suggest are:

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

ECT uses electrical pulses and rTMS uses a special kind of magnet to increase certain areas of brain activity. This helps the parts of your brain that control your mood work bet
