Check out this website I found at webmd.com.
It is called “Depression TV and it has a whole series of 3 minute videos with excellent questions and answers. Depression: When Should I Seek Help, Depression and Loss of Libido, Depression and Rage – Are they Related, and many more. I think this is one of the few video sites I have seen that succinctly

Major Depression affects 15 million people, or 7% of the U.S population every year. Translated, this effectively means that 1 in 14 people suffer at least 1 major depressive episode that lasts two weeks or more each… Read More . . . → Read More: You Could Be Depressed – Millions of People Are – And Not Even Know It! …if they bought into the notion below. I am developing sites to help people find good halfway houses and sober livings if they are coming out of treatment. On the home page I found myself writing the following paragraph, which sums up what I am about. For people who can’t toil through my longer stories in this blog — here it is in a nutshell, off the site The Halfway House Guide. I… Read More . . . → Read More: Dual Diagnosis — Most alcoholics and addicts could come close to “finding a cure”
I have been preaching for years now that I believe most people who are alcoholics began drinking (or drugging) to help kill the pain of a mood disorder. For whatever reason until today I had not known that there was empirical scientific data backing this notion up. Nobody really knows if you can be an alcoholic first, and then that triggers a long-term depressive episode, or visa versa. If you have an alcohol or… Read More . . . → Read More: Gene Linked to Both Alcoholism and Depression When I look at the adopted kids I know or knew and look at the number of them that have died or had severe problems it is so out of balance with non-adopted people I know there has got to be another explanation. Well, if you were adopted and are having problems, maybe the following paper contains some answers. If you were adopted, this is meant to soothe your questions, not stir up more of… Read More . . . → Read More: The Surprising Correllation Between Adoption and Mood Disorders/Addiction I read this in an advertised Blogupp entry that started out as follows: Bi Polar Disorder Written by: Baby J on May 4, 2010.One day you wake up and everything is perfectly normal. You wake your kids, make breakfast and kiss your husband good day. All it takes is one incident. Something you’d never expect, yet the perfect trigger. In my case it was a liar. That

It was themed on these two extreme once A-level teen stars, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Feldman was married to a fairly normal and nice girl who couldn’t stand the fact that Corey Haim had moved into their house. Haim was a slob, the Feldman’s were neat.

The disease of addiction and more… I have included a video presentation about depression, because I believe that most alcoholics and some drug addicts are simply depressed. I say “simply depressed” — but nothing is simple. Convincing an alcoholic or addict they need help is very difficult. Make no mistake about it, however — the disease of addiction is as bad and as serious as having cancer.

You were probably discussing the subject at some point in the past when someone remarked “oh, he’s an addict” or “she’s an alcoholic” in an accusatory tone. If they had been talking about almost any other medical problem and said “he’s diabetic” or “she’s got cancer”, however, their tone would probably have been different — likely more sympathetic. This is because addiction is generally not viewed as a disease, unfortunately, but is perceived by many… Read More . . . → Read More: Addiction: it goes to the very root of the brain. |
