Hi,
I have never been diagnosed with depression ,but know I do get very depressed at times. More so in the last 7 years.
I'm usually a very positive person who trys to see good in everyone and everything,but somedays are just black.
I come out of it after a day or 2. I guess my diabetes has a bit to do with it. I wonder if Menopause is around the corner
Also in the last 12 years my life has been turned upside down a few times. also it is said depression can be hereditory
My father had treatment for depresion in the 1960's but I did not learn of this until just before his death 12 years ago. It was a very Taboo subject back then (and still is with a lot of people)
My Sister is on antidepresnts due to her disabilities.
I think this is a great survey and thread and it is so good that everyone is so open.
I have a lot of friends who have or are dealing with depresion
