Chronic depression icd 9 Videos

Wow! That's interesting that panic attacks are mistaken for asthma so frequently. Great video, Kristen!

I'm not clinically diagnosed, but I do know that I suffer from several different mental disorders. I have severe anxiety, depression, OCD and insomnia. I'm scared to go to a professional about my issues because they might claim that I'm making it up, even though I know that I'm not. I understand what you meant by this video, but just because someone is self-diagnosed it doesn't mean that they're just overreacting.

I just want to say I agree with most of this video buuuut.... everyone has anxiety. An Anxiety Disordered is what you are talking about. Its basically when someone ANXIETY LEVELS aren't normal. I just wanted to say this and not hate on your video and that's really all I had to say!

I never wanted to go to the doctor to get diagnosed for depression but back in 7 grade was when I started getting depressed my cousin who is the closest thing to a sister tried to kill herself three times she went in the mental hospital I thought I'd never see her again she came out not acting like herself few months later my grandpa passed who partially raised me and a month after that my brother moved out to where it was only me and my dad at my dads house but since my grandpa passed he had to take care of m Gma so much it was just me most the time.. I began to feel alone even when people were around I'd cry for hours and hours not exactly knowing why and now it's 2 years later and I still get depressed but I don't think I have depression anymore I have anxiety though I got medicine for that 

I disagree with you, and I feel motivated to post it because I think attitudes like the one in this video will simply encourage people who suspect they have depression to continue doubting that their problems are serious enough to warrant seeking help. I had depression for 4 years before I was ever able to open up about it to anyone or get a diagnosis, and one of the biggest factors keeping me from talking seriously about my feelings was that I was unsure whether I was in "enough" pain to actually have depression, and my biggest fear was that I would tell someone, they would think that I was only seeking attention, and I would forever be seen as a sad, selfish person. My family believes that depression is something you cause yourself, they even called it "the most selfish disorder." I had no close friends either. Needless to say, I felt trapped and terrified and was full of self doubt. So, I tried to do things that would get people to offer me the help I needed because I was too scared to ask for it. I found out on the internet that your doctor is supposed to ask you about your mental health if you lose 5% of your body weight, so I starved myself and went from 115 pounds to 106 pounds by my routine checkup, but she didn't notice. Whenever I felt the urge to self harm, I kept telling myself that if I made a deep injury then people would be able to see how seriously in pain I was, but I kept myself from doing it, and it would only make me feel more like shit because if I couldn't seriously hurt myself, then I probably wasn't really depressed, right? So, for years I rather casually mentioned my feelings of depression to my friends and family, casually expressed the desire to see a therapist, casually hinted at my mental health issues but kept a happy tone so that I could laugh it off as a joke if they judged me negatively. I was laughing about it, but it was a desperate cry for help. The only thing I ever wanted was for one person, ONE PERSON to stop and say, "Wait, are you serious? I will help you." But no one ever did, because the problem is not the people joking about depression, but it's the people hearing the jokes who don't take them seriously. Whenever someone makes a joke, no matter how casual, hinting at the fact that they might possibly be feeling depressed, then it needs to be taken 100% seriously. You DO NOT know what they are going through, and often times a joking demeanor is just a defense, because the person is too scared to be serious. I guarantee that if someone makes a depression joke and you stop and talk to them and say, "I know you sound like you're joking, but I sometimes we joke about things we may really be feeling. Do you /sometimes/ wonder if you are depressed? I don't think you are crazy, and I'm here for you. You can talk to me, and I will have no judgments. I want to help you, so please talk to me," then that person will feel much better, whether they are "just sad" or they have depression. And if they realize you take them seriously, then they probably won't joke about it in the future. Remember, it helps to ask questions, because then they only have to answer yes or no and they don't have to work up the nerve to say difficult things like "I think I am depressed." The response I described, in my opinion, is the one that really comes from a supportive and non-judgmental place, where I feel this video comes off as judgmental. If you are reading this and you are questioning the validity of your feelings, I am telling you, DON'T. Your feelings are valid, and no one can tell you whether you are "just sad" or whether you really have depression. 2/3 of depression cases go undiagnosed, exactly for this reason that people are afraid to open up because of judgment from others. Sometimes a self-diagnosis can help you put a name to your feelings and problems, and bring you a step closer to getting better. All that said, please never flaunt your illness. This video actually comes off as a bit self-righteously flaunting your illness. "Oh stop whining about your feelings, I had an actual doctor tell me I'm sick so that proves I have it worse than you bitch!" Sure, people joking about illness gives it somewhat of a bad rep, but if you really truly just want to help people get better, then take every single person as seriously as you would take someone with a doctor's note, because that could end up saving someone's life, and nothing in this video will really help anyone, except maybe it will stop annoying the people who feel like they are special and have it harder because of their illness and think that it's all a big competition. It's not. This is not about you being annoyed at other people, this is about people genuinely suffering who need help. This video isn't helping anyone and is not something that "needs to be talked about"--your attitude is already the prevailing attitude and it's a bad thing. Just because you don't have a diagnosis doesn't mean your sick. Take people seriously, and care about them. Don't be judgmental one way or the other when it comes to mental illness. That's all I have to say. If you're reading this and need someone to talk to, feel free to message me through Google+. Stay strong.

This is just you being bitchy tbh.

this is amazing :)

CASSIDY!!!! ARE YOU GOING TO VIDCON??!!!! AND DO YOU LIKE SOUP cause i love soup

My Dad!

that can be done through running and a change of diet. That's if the person can see that they are depressed, and want to do something about it, people that can't see they are depressed they will run into problems in later life, and will end up on antidepressants. But support and courage is often a way out, if a love one is worried they can drop hints which could lead them to understand they have a problem, it's a long hard process but well worth the rewards if it's done right.

Is there anyway to print this powerpoint presentation?
