Dear Diary: Depression, My Take On It
Luckily for me depression is now a thing of the past, my past. Many years ago I suffered it when I was just a little boy, I couldn't of course understand that "Blue feeling" thinking that it was normal. My condition then was I believed now was induced or made by the medicine I was taking for my mild epilepsy, a kind of epilepsy only seen in EEGs but I also suffered bouts of unconsciousness which prompted my mother to take me to the hospital which is the reason my mild epilepsy was discovered.
I was given phenobarbital pills, once a day of 90 mg before bedtime and the dose got reduced by my Neurologist (Neurosurgeon) over the course of years of taking it until I stopped using it in the early 90's when me and my mother decided to stop going to the doctor.
But a dose of 90 mg per day for a child of 2 to 6 years is dangerous as I have experienced it because it made me suffer the clinical depression condition. Depression is something not close to sadness, it is totally different, it is a deep despair with a trip of thoughts.
I am just lucky that I sweat it off and didn't give me lasting psychological effects maybe because of the joyful disposition of a child as in itself fought my depression in those years but as of currently I am suffering from anxiety but I believe that it was due to my kidney condition and all the mental complications arising from suffering from it.
You will never know how a clinical digression is or how it feels like until you suffered from it. It has to be identified quickly treated otherwise the person could get the risk of a self-harm because of the effects in the thoughts of the patient with a depression.
Depression is a very serious mental and psychological problem. And some medicine's side effect can cause it too accompanied by the feeling of hopelessness because of the state of being sick. I believe that good support system can help a lot to a depressed person. I am a little bit skeptical about anti depressant drugs but I had seen wonders of it to some people and vice versa. That is good that your depression is a thing of the past. Keep the faith.
thats great bro ....Our best wishes are with you
Hola hijo.
Buenísimo. Aprendiste a manejar la situación y eso es muy bueno.
Me parece genial que hayas eliminado la medicación del fenobarbital y en especial por la dependencia de esta DROGA.
Eres un CAMPEÓN y sabes manejar las situaciones.
Sabes estoy preocupado por mí situación con el colon por lo del pólipo que me han encontrado en el colon. Soy ya una persona mayor y he vivido bastante. Todavía tengo muchas cosas que hacer aquí en la Tierra y no caeré en estados depresivos que me causen daños a la salud.
Cuídate y Que Dios Nos Bendiga.
Los pólipos de colon son comunes en la vejez y deben extirparse quirúrgicamente, es la única manera de curarlo, de lo contrario, afectará su salud.
Mientras tanto come más frutas y verduras @reinaldor
Pues sí. Esperemos la biopsía. Todo saldrá bien. Amén
