Great Depression of the 1930’s had many causes. I learned that the main cause was a stockmarket crash and structural flaws in banks(overleveraging?) encouraged by bad monetary policy similar to what happened this decade, there was also a drought during that time that ruined agriculture. Well of course I don’t think they printed as much money then as the fed is printing now. So how is it different from the depression America is going in?

What if you have depression but don’t need to see a doctor yet. How can you improve your light depression symptoms at home? Don’t say some type of pill, because I would want to go through a doctor before I take any kind of supliment.

An Alcohol Rehab center is seldom associated with humor; alcohol rehab does not lend itself well to levity; for most it is a serious, serious issue. It is about overcoming an addiction; overcoming a seemingly insurmountable problem; however as is true for a lot of other things, a dash of humor can actually help put things into perspective. Plus the fact that with alcohol abuse, it is easy to slide into depression; there is a natural, not inconsiderabe connection between alcoholism and depression and one may well lead to another.

It sometimes becomes important to understand that if the diagnosis of depression predates the alcoholism, then it could well be the underlying cause for the alcoholism. Then in a sense one becomes sidetracked with the issue of rehab for alcohol; this condition then appears to be more life threatening, more immediately inimical to both one’s physical and mental health. When it comes to substance abuse, that seems to overshadow what may actually be the root problem, the underlying and real reason why the alcohol abuse is present in the first place; in this case depression. Then when you check into an alcohol rehab center, it could be a case of treating the symptom rather than the disease.

Conversely when the alcoholism predates the depression, then it could be the alcoholism that causes the depression. It works like this: to begin with, alcohol can be that social lubricant which boosts confidence and loosens inhibitions. However over time, as alcohol use turns into alcohol abuse, it acts as a depressant. Then the insidious slide into depression can be for the long term, and it can be very destructive for a person’s physical and mental health, their relationships, and their profession as well; it can start to taint every part of a person’s life.

It is actually when the situation is so acute, and the alcohol addiction so severe as to impinge upon several areas of a person’s life that that slide into depression seems well nigh inevitable. When for instance the alcohol is affecting a person’s marriage and their interpersonal relationships, the person’s morale, self confidence and sum of happiness is obviously going to be impacted negatively. If the person’s alcohol dependence is so advanced as to make it impossible for them to discharge their professional duties effectively, then a layoff may actually be imminent; a scary prospect for anyone. An actual layoff may not only have a shattering effect on the person, it may leave them with entirely too much time to mull over their life going astray and the seemingly unswerving course that life seems to have set for ultimate doom.

So really whichever one predates the other; alcohol or depression, what is important is to address and confront the core issues that the person has, treating one or the other may be a band aid solution that is neither effective nor permanent. Deeming the need to treat depression as important as the alcohol rehabilitation, would be a two pronged attack upon the problem that is more likely to yield long lasting and positive results.

Someone close to me has been battling depression for 17 years now. She is doing a good job, has held on to a demanding job for 4 years now. Though her performance at work are highly erratic. Periods of poor apathetic performance interspersed with periods of high performance.

She shows sympotm of chronic depression, withdraws from social life, has low energy, can spend days in bed, is messy etc.She’s on medication too.

I fear that the next phase will be schizoprenia. She’s 32 now and has been suffering from depression since she was 15.
Though I said her performance at work is erratic, i dont think it is suggestive of bipolar. She has been fired once before for apathy at work. Since then she is scared to lose her job. When her poor performance at work gets noticable and she thinks her job is in danger,she bucks up and works harder.

And she cannot unfortunately retire from work. She lives in a country that dosen’t give benefits. And her aged parents cannot take care of her. She has to earn her living. She would very much like to reyire or atlease work part time, but is unable to do so.

I did just this after 3 years of depression.

My depression culminated in an attempted suicide at age 10.

The modern view in medicine is that suicide is a consequence of failing to cope with "depression".

There is plenty of information regards this topic online, but hardly any on how a person can overcome depression without medical help, this is why i want to know what you think is a persons reason/s for leaving depression behind without medical help.

Thanks.
