genericsoda Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I laugh a lot, or think about small things, still talk to my friends normally but suddenly one day I feel like I want to separate from everyone, I don't care about my surroundings, I don't want to care about anything anymore Are those things above signs of depression? And what should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what should I do? I see your posting from the US - not sure what the health system is like there for accessing health care for Mental health. As Parley says, first step is your primary care provider, it doesn't necessarily mean medication, first line treatment for mild depression would be 'talk' therapy.

starlight7 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Doesn’t sound like depression to me. If you laugh a lot and chat with friends having times when you want to be alone sounds like 90 % of us ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBrown89 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I also had this, there are many factors that will help you, I was helped by my dog, whom I then took from the shelter, I remember that a month after I took him, I had to go for a week, I gave him to a hotel on neighborhood and realized that I can not be without him anymore, he helped me with depression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahFitz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi I am applying for PR, have been taking antidepressants on and off for a couple of years. Has this affected anyone else in their visa application? I’m worried as I have a medical exam coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is almost universally an awful management strategy.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went for the medical I was told to bring information about any conditions (not MH related but it's all the same). I got my consultant and my sons consultant to write a letter for us which stated the condition, investigations, any treatment and prognosis.
