- Chosen by Voters Vitally important. How you feel about something will define how you react to it. If you have self confidence and feel emotionally secure then you will be able to deal with things in a much more objective way and are able to get a better perspective on them. If you feel emotionally strained then it will affect how you process information and you will take things much more personally. 4 years ago 100% 1 Vote 1 person rated this as good
depression. low self-esteem. supposedly attention-deficit disorder and hyperactivity (but I personally think that is natural and shouldn't be medicated). I think the depression and low self-esteem are very real however. 6 years ago 1 person rated this as good thanks!

Two years ago, after 40 years of having never experienced any noticeable psychological difficulty I experienced in response to a major career change, a move and the dissolution of my marriage severe anxiety and depression. After becoming acutely suicidal I was involuntarily hospitalized for one night. After becoming suicidal again, I For about nine months after my hospitalization I required Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Adderall for depresson and Seroquel and Clonazepam for anxiety along with one on one psychotherapy three times per week as well as weekly one one cognitive behavioral therapy, weekly group dialectical behavioral therapy, weekly group work for depression and a further group for people with issues of self identity. I was initially reluctant to rely so heavily on medication, but, given the life threatening nature of my condition, I was persuaded to regard the medicines as the scaffolding we would rely on while we waited for the various talk therapies to work.Sure enough after several months we were able to reduce the intensity of the therapy and after about a year we had scaled back on the meds as well.A couple of months ago I experienced a sudden overwhelming return of my symptoms and needed to be hospitalized for a further three weeks and then attend an intensive outpatient program for two weeks. However, as odd as this sounds, it appears that this crisis was in fact the final stages of what has undoubtedly been a period of personal growth. I am now in the process of terminating my remaining low doses of medication.My psychiatrists were clever enough to recognize from the outset that, while my symptoms looked a lot like anxiety and depression and that it was appropriate to use medication to gain symptom relief, the real work was around teaching me to tune into emotional experience that I had learned for my whole life to suppress and then to learn to modulate those emotions so that I am not overwhelmed by them.The work involved in all of this has at times been exhausting and harrowing and it has, in many ways, been expensive. But, despite the rough patches, I would not trade a single step of the process as I have now begun to live an emotionally richer and more satisfying life. In short, I did this by recognizing that I can stop life from sending waves my way, but I have learned to access the resources within myself and around me to swim much better. Along the way, I have met many people who have more traditional biologically based mental health issues (i.e. major depression, anxiety disorders, bi-polar disorder, ect) as well as personality disorders. And I have seen the vast majority of them find ways through drug therapy, life style modification and therapy to manage their conditions very effectively. Best of luck. 4 years ago 1 person rated this as good Cool
There was once a man with a mental problem, he felt as though he was trapped in a hole that was too big to climb out of. A doctor passed by his hole. "Hey doctor, can you help me out?" Yelled the man. The doctor threw a prescription down into the hole and continued on his way.A psychologist passed by his hole. "Can you help me out?" Yelled the man. The psychologist paused, sat down next to the hole and asked the man why he thought he was there. After an hour, the psychologist continued on his way.A Priest passed by his hole. "Father, can you help me out?" Yelled the man. The Priest knelt by the hole, said a prayer and then continued on his way.The man was getting desperate. Eventually, someone else walked by. She was not a Priest or a doctor but the man needed help. "Hey you, girl! Can you help me out?" Yelled the man. The girl stopped and then jumped into the hole with the man."What are you doing, are you stupid?" Yelled the man, "Now we're both stuck in the hole!""True" replied the woman, "but I've been stuck down here before and I know the way out."————————————–…This is a slightly modified version of an old tale between friends. The modification came from a dear dear friend of mine who has a mental health disorder. She found that talking to professional people about her problem did not help much, but talking to someone with the same condition really helped her live.Basically, what I'm trying to say is people shouldn't dismiss the help of "regular people". Often it's just as useful as advice from professionals. 9 months ago 2 people rated this as good This is a very nice story and it so true. Thank you very much D3idr3 for your excellent answer.Thank you all for sharing!
- Chosen by Voters Laura, generally you don't get into mental health for the money! But the field is incredibly diverse.You may end up working as a counsellor, mental health worker, support worker, caseworker, psychologist or psychiatrist — they get paid heaps after years and years of study (they better!)You may end up working with kids, adolescents, adults, families, couples, criminal offenders, people dealing with drugs/alcohol. No day will be the same, and if you are a compassionate person you'll like the work you do. Decide what sort of mental health area interests you most and then research away… 2 years ago 100% 1 Vote
- Chosen by Voters Because us smart people are the only ones intelligent enough to realize that life is never going to turn out the way we want it to. Thus, we get depressed. Our intelligence doesn't allow us the bliss that ignorance does. It opens the door to knowledge and with that comes the realization that the world will never be a safe, equal place because there are stupid people who can't ever learn otherwise. And that IS a depressing thought. 1 year ago 100% 1 Vote 4 people rated this as good
- Chosen by Voters Telling your friends, your closest and dearest friends, could help you out. Help you calm down when you are having panic attack at school. The best way to tell them would be to just come out with it. Don't beat around the bush about it, just come out with it. If they are your friends they won't judge you for it, they will help you get through it and help you live with it. 4 years ago 50% 2 Votes
