Listen, I know more about depression that most psychiatrists.
Since none of them could cure mine, I had to spend thousands of hours of my time learning to do their job better than they could.
First question: Are you isolating? Do you work out of your home?
Do you go for days without leaving home? This both <i>causes</i> and is <i>caused by</i> the depression- a vicious circle you must break before it gets any worse.
Now come the key questions most physicians don't know to ask.
I'm trying to figure out if you have endorphin-deficiency depression like I do:
Do you have a weak immune system? Could it be said that you don't know of anyone who catches nasty colds as often as you do? Think: This is important. Secondly, you know the so-called 'runner's high' other people talk about? Have you ever experienced that for yourself? If you're like me, you're physically incapable of feeling a 'runner's high'. Physical exercise would just leave you feeling lousy and exhausted.
Look, odds are you're probably not suffering depression from the same exact physical condition as mine... but if you are, I can save you from going through the frustration of years of incorrect and ineffective medical treatment. Saving people from going through the same shit I had to- that's my hobby.
