Q: How to get goverment help for depression?
I am 18 and depressed. I was wondering if there is anyway I can get goverment help to cover anti depressents? I live in Utah, if anyone has a number or knows exactly what to do. I really need this I have a LONG family history of it and a long history of abuse as a child. I know I have a chemical imbalance and very high anxiety but I also know I am depressed, I really just want the old me back. Please if anyone knows what to do please please help me.

A: Call your county mental health authority and ask those questions. Your family dr. can help you fill out a form (you might have to get it online from the drug company and then have the dr.s office fill it out) to get free medication from the drug manufactures if you don’t have insurance- most offer a program to help.Some generics are really cheap now from the pharmacy.

I think you need therapy for your abusive past, and not drugs to suppress the symptoms, Pills won’t help you get past those issues,they just cover up the symptoms of pain.You have depression and anxiety because of unresolved issues that wil always be there if you don’t get some help.
That doesn’t mean there is a “chemical imbalance” that you need to throw pills at. The term “chemical imbalance” is a term used by pharmaceutical company’s to get your $ .
They make billions (no kidding) from just ONE antidepressant medication.

Example of relief without medication- think about how good you would feel if I said you could have a month vacation in Hawaii,no responsibilities or bills ,just sitting on a beautiful sunny beach and having a wonderful vacation.

I bet that would lift your spirits for awhile.without medication, maybe you would feel the anxiety and depression lift. Therapy can lift your depression also. Take courage and deal with your past to give yourself a better future.

Q: If you apply for disability because of depression, and get turned down, does social security help you find a j?
If you apply for disability because of depression and get turned down, does social security try to find you a very undemanding job that you could still do in your hometown?

A: go to the unemployment office in your area, their job is to help people who need work to find it. also temp agencies can help, it is up to you to set the criteria of what type of work you are willing to take. while depression can be devastating it can be overcome through perseverance and the proper medical assistance

Q: Where do i look for financial help for unemployed to carry on life and away from depression?…
Hello again, thank you for all the responses, I truly appreciate it. I’ve gone through the sites that was suggested but I am not a citizen of those country so I am not able to enjoy such a privilege in need. As I have mentioned in my earlier question which probably some readers may have missed out, that I am in desperate need in means to move on in search for a new employment and at the same to cover some critical personal financial issues and of course to survive through daily life. If such means and such situation is not critical in my life I would not go to such measures to post help on yahoo. I am pressured, stress and mentally drained from thinking so much trying to come out with a solution and was hoping maybe by posting help on yahoo will help me with some suggestions. I have no other options and no other ways to turn to. All i can is that i urgently need some opinion, advice, suggestion and help to go through this obstacle as time is really running out on me. I really hope there is somebody out there who can come out with a good suggestion and solution for me. God bless!

A: I have been unemployed for 1 month plus but I am not depressed. I pay for all my own expenses. Is there a problem? Just that I got phobia looking for job now. There are no unemployment benefits in Singapore though.

Q: Would a Therapist or psychologist help me more…? Depression?
I’m 16. I’ve always had a hard life. Both of my parents are split up,my pa lives 3 houses down. They are both abusive mentally,emotionally and physically. I keep my emotions bottled up and I don’t know how to express how hurt and depressed I always am. So I cut. I fake smile and laugh for my friends and bf so they don’t know whats really going on with me. I feel like no one can help me unless they’ve bin where I’m at before. I think about death all the time and how fun it would be to kill myself slowly and painfully. I LOVE pain. It makes me happy when I feel pain. I get happy when I see myself and other people bleed. I laugh and get happy when other people get injured. I was also molested and raped. Molested from 6-10. Raped at 11. My mother is ALWAYS degrading me,cutting me down,saying hurtful things that would make any teen girl think cuicidal thoughts. She blames me for their split up. I want therapy so I have SOMEONE to talk to. Or is this just what normal teen girls think about? Who would help more,a therapist or psychologist..?

A: None of the things that you mentioned are your fault. I think you are having a hard life, and I think your mother is just crazy for saying you broke up the marriage, she is just trying to pass the blame onto someone else.
Children are not to blame ever. The parents are always to blame, or it is just a bad case of your parents being incompatible or unable to cope with each other.

You are crying out for help, and I think you deserve some help, go to a counselor – or a doctor or anyone to find help, keep looking until you find someone who will listen – don’t give up.

You are capable of getting past the problems your family has, to eventually have your own life, a better life than what your parents are offering you. I have a few friends that have come from totally dysfunctional and horrible families and they have matured and put it all behind them to become wonderful strong women and mothers and friends – so it is not impossible for you to rise above all of the crap in your life.

Don’t look toward violence to vent your anger, it will only make you more confused and hateful. Try and find some inner peace or a place where you can safely have some time alone to chill out.

I wish you all the best in getting help.

Q: Depression still, seeing shadows. HELP ME?
Okay, I’ve said this like twice already and get the same answer, talking to people I know. I’m a shy person, uncomfortable around people, not very sociable. I’m depressed and I can barely cope, my friend hates me and she was once my world. Now, I see shadows and they whisper things to me about my death, about my fears ETC. Am I psychotic? I feel like that sometimes. Could these shadows ever hurt me as long as I think they could ? Tell me what to do before they’re right about my death. I’m too close for question. I ask of you not to prejudice me, I cannot help what is wrong with me if you make me feel worse.

A: I have a mental health issue with people as well.I have social anxiety.Type it into your search engine and see if that fits what you are feeling about people.However that does NOT explain about the shadows and voices you are seeing and hearing.That sounds more like schizophrenia.Which is a serious mental health issue.You can look that up too.I suggest you see a doctor as these issues get worse with time.There are treatments out there but no cure.Unfortunately mental heath is not a life threatening illness so no one has ever really done a lot of research in that area.They have just started in the last 20 years or so.

Q: If I have bi-polar/depression and take prescribed medication for it, is that being a “drug user”?
Like I also have minor ADD and I take adderal. The adderal really helps with depression. It basically takes me right of it. Is this a bad thing?

A: Nope, its not being a drug user. You have a medical condition/illness which can be controlled by taking medication. It is not a bad thing to use medication! A drug user uses illegal drugs which are quite often dangerous & may not be what the buyer thinks they are.

Q: Depression help?
I get pretty depressed sometimes, usually with pms… bleh. Does anyone have any natural remedies? I’d like to try some before hitting the meds.

A: Exercise has been shown to help with depression. Also make sure you are getting enough sleep and eat healthy for the most part. That should help at least try the exercise I know that works. If you feel depressed even with that you may want to look into medications but you don’t sound like you’re depressed a lot of the time just around that time of the month so exercise might really help. Good luck.

Q: Depression.Help?
i am depressed and i dont know why? how can i get out of depression

A: First you need to talk to your doctor and figure out if it is situational depression due to something going on in your life right now, or if it is clinical depression and you need an antidepressant. Make sure to get out in the fresh air and sunlight, get exercise. Find some things that make you happy, talk to someone you can trust. And know that you are not alone, many people suffer from depression and it does get better. Try keeping a journal when you are feeling down, write down all of the things that are bothering you and all of your feelings. Just getting them out and down on paper can help. Good Luck and take care of you.

Q: depression help?
my friend is depressed. she hasnt been eating and can never sleep and she never really wants to go out anymore. ive been looking at websites about tips with depression and all of them say you should go see a therapist. i told her she should but her mom always says that she doesnt believe in depression and that people should tough it out. i make myself available to talk but is there anything else i can do? is there anything she can say to her mom? any tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

A: There are so many suffering kids with parents who just refuse to understand.

I like the idea of talking with the school counselor. Also her pediatrician should be helpful. She could tell her mom that she hasn’t been feeling well and that she needs to go to the doctor to see if she has something like anemia. People with anemia feel lethargic. The doctor will probably want to give her a blood test anyway. She could call the doctor in advance and tell the doctor that she feels depressed but that her mother doesn’t believe in depression. The doctor can prescribe anti-depressant medication and refer her to a therapist.

The other thing you could do is call the national alliance for the mentally ill and ask for some pamphlets on depression. www.nami.org. You could either provide them to her mother or give them to the doctor so the doctor can give them to the mother.

You could call the Girls and Boys Town Hotline 800 – 448 – 3000. This phone line is available to children who can’t access their parent’s help for one reason or another.

Last year, a boy in my son’s school was so depressed and suicidal that he friends were warning his father. The father yelled at the friends. The kid asked his father if he could borrow some rope and made up an excuse for the use of the rope. He hung himself. Ignorance on the part of parents can have horrible consequences.

Q: Depression Help?
I am a 14 year old kid, my life is very depressing. To personal to release here on Yahoo Answers, and to long. And I have had serious thoughts of suicide, and I really want help.

I’m in therapy and the therapist I have is not help whatsoever.. Whenever I bring something up he either doesn’t want to talk about it and tries to move on, laughs at it, or just totally ignores it. But my parents won;t let me get another therapist.

So I know that their are depression pills out there. But like they say in the commercial these pills for teens and kids may increase thoughts of suicide. Is their some special kind of depression pills for 14 years olds. I really need help.

A: just get some exercise and you will feel better. i promise.

Q: Depression? HELP?
Alright, I need to talk and let the inside of me breath. I’m Junior, a normal 16 year old boy. Latley, a lot has happend. Finally, I got all my honor classes switched to AP. I’m really glad and all, but I feel so overwelmed..that sometimes I randomly cry. I had surgery about 1 week ago. I’m fine now, but I feel so delicate. I feel like I get very depressed, and VERY FAST. Like..I said..I cry just randomly. I get this sad and depression thoughts about my life. Is this signs of depression? or..? just a phase or something? I need help.
I would like to let eveyrone know, that I am Christian. My parents are pastors of a really lovley church. Thanks though, for the ones that gave me the option of accepting Jesus. :)

A: This is stress building up in your system. Even good things can cause stress–a new job, a new relationship, promotion like what you’ve had. Talk to someone, whether it be a good friend, school counsellor, or the samaritans.
Eliminate other sources of stress in your life, and maybe learn some relaxation techniques.
Antidepressants from a doctor may help, but PLEASE only use them for a short while. As in 6 mos, max. They may treat the symptoms but they’re not a cure, they don’t solve the problem causing the stress. And you can get addicted; I did. When I was in college my situation was like yours and they just kept feeding me pills. You’ll learn to deal with the pressures eventually, it’s just the shock of the new.
And don’t be afraid to admit it if it all gets to be too much. Nobody’s perfect. You don’t want to crash and burn. Make sure you take some time to relax, get some exercise, and forget about your studies from time to time.

i’ve had depression for a year now. this just made me upset. i’m on Prozac, but sometimes, stuff that makes most people just a little sad, makes me really upset.

A: Don’t let bad days affect you. think of it like, yeah today might have been bad, but how much worse could tommorow be? that’s right, it can’t be. and don’t let friend drama affect you either, if they were real friends, they wouldn’t be creating drama.
