I once have it and that makes me afraid of my future. I was thinking of choice of higher institution and the course i wil go for so that i will be able to make in life. But when i applied; i did not gain the admission, so next i change choice of school and course by thinking that the first did not work because i was trying to change my childhood dream of being a chemical eng.

Thank you Sammy. DonĀ“t be afraid of your future. Make the best of it. A destiny depression is a childhood trauma. This normally comes to be noticed when the person gets older. If you believe you have had it and it is gone, well that is great. Then it has not reason to come back. Take care.

Symptoms reside in circuits. Let's start with the depressed mood, or sadness, within this syndrome of DSM-IV major depression. What is the dysfunction? We think that patients who are sad and depressed have too much activation of their limbic cortex, specifically the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the limbic orbital cortex. Two famous neurotransmitters send their messages there; they have a post-office box in those places of the brain. Serotonin and norepinephrine are 2 of them, as well as dopamine and others. How do you fix the circuit that is dysfunctioning? If you enhance serotonin, if you enhance norepinephrine, or if you enhance both -- with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) -- in those areas, this helps sadness.thats what i think it is,i could be wrong.but no i have never had this at least i dont think so.

Hi! Thanks for your comment. Have you heard of Fluoxetin? It is a very difficult depression to explain. I also wonder, if you can ever really get out of it. I heard , when you are young you can get cured. But , when you are older then 30, forget it. Learn to accept and live on. The medicine are the only thing that can help, as I have heard. Have a nice day.
