What are the symptoms of depression and when should drugs be used for treatment?

Like symptoms other than the obvious ones like feeling down.

When does someone get the point where help from medication is needed. I know someone who is suffering from a form of depression but is worried that the antidepression tablets will have worse side effects. Its hard to know if its severe depression or even depression at all.

What will the coming global economic depression be called?

WW1 was called the Great War before everyone decided to have at it again, so they had to rename the wars as World Wars 1 and 2. Since it looks like we will now have to rename the Great Depression, what would you suggest? World Depression 2 does not sound very good. Maybe The Coolidge Depression and The Bush Depression?

What’s the difference between Reactive Depression and Clinical Depression?

"Normal Depression is often triggered by an event or circumstance in which you react to emotionally, such as the death of a loved one. This type of depression is psychological because you are emotionally “reacting” to something that has happened."

"Clinical Depression is more serious, triggered by a chemical imbalance in the brain. This is a biological disorder of the brain, but it has psychological symptoms. This type of depression need not follow any sad, stressful or upsetting event; it can kick in for no apparent reason at all other than a change in one’s brain chemicals."

Is this correct or is clinical depression just depression that is more serious and is not specifically due to chemical imbalance? I’m kind of confused about all this.
I thought that was right but I’m doing research for school and I keep getting mixed information. Most people say clinical depression in depression which lasts more than a few weeks, but that didn’t sound like the proper meaning.

Depression?

I have been suffering from Bipolar depression for several years now…somewhere around 10 years. The doctor has put me on several different medications that caused me more issues (weight gain, fatigue and other stuff like that) that I could not handle. I have not been on medicine since I had my son 2 years ago. Things seem to be getting worse lately with all the stress that has been added since my wedding in May. I have an appointment with my doctor today to try to get something to help me. It has gotten to the boilling point where I can see my condition hurting my family. Anyone have any suggestions on what medications worked good for you or someone you know? Or any other comments for me…please don’t be negative..that is not going to help me at all..it will only make it worse.
I agree with all of you. I appreciate soo much your suggestions or words of support for me. It helps.

Bill – you are right, I am lacking self-confidence but I have had that problem all of my life. It’s not something I can just snap out of by myself. I almost wonder if at times I need people around me that feel like I do so that we can support each other…I am too embarrased most the time to tell anyone about my problems.
