Best answer:

Answer by Andrew
I can’t speak on your mental state, but I have to say do a lot of research on the medication he prescribes for you. My mom was put through terrible withdrawals after she took a depression medication without knowing everything about it. It’s been a year since she’s been trying to come off of it and she’s still not all the way healed.

IMPORTANT: There have been a few requests concerning this video. The first is to notify people that when preparing lentils to check for stones. There should be a warning about this on the packaging of your lentils and please follow their instructions. The second item is a question about why Clara reuses the lemon from the marinade. It has long been known that citric acid (in this case a lemon) is nature’s anti-bacterial agent. Today it is more commonly known as produce wash or FIT (Fruit and Vegetable Wash). There are many studies out today that consider FIT a more successful anti-bacterial agent than chlorine dioxide (which is produced chemically rather than naturally). Many cultures continue to use the citric acid from lemons and limes to cleanse meat and fish as this marinade does. Clara cooks quite responsibly and always uses the freshest meats and fish when preparing her meals. You must always cook any meal at any time at your own risk. Clara is only providing you with lessons she has learned and she has lived to a ripe old age. If you are nervous about her tips then just enjoy the videos for the historical value.

Every year, almost 800,000 Australian adults experience depression. The causes of depression are as varied as the people who suffer from this debilitating illness: relationship conflicts, loss of a loved one, economic woes, health issues, eating disorders, social isolation, disappointment, fear, insecurity, abandonment, rejection, failure, emotional and physical abuse, substance abuse, workplace stress, and many more.Depression is a medical condition generally characterized by a low mood with feelings of joylessness, deep sadness, misery, powerlessness, pessimism, anger, and/or discouragement (hopelessness). All of us occasionally experience a blue mood, but it is usually a temporary emotional state. A low emotional state can sometimes be helpful when it keeps us from doing something foolish, reckless, or dangerous. What differentiates depression from ordinary blues is that it lingers and keeps a person in a chronic or recurrent state of negative thinking. This disables an individual from living a full, satisfying life. Since a depressed person is often distracted or has difficulty concentrating, his/her condition can lead to poor job performance and possible job loss. In Australia, workplace depression accounts for six million days of absenteeism and more than 12 million days of reduced productivity each year. Annually, undiagnosed (and therefore untreated) employee depression costs .3 billion in lost productivity. A distracted frame of mind also poses a risk to personal health and safety due to carelessness or neglect. Depression is the leading cause of disability in Australia.In the case of a child or teenager, it can result in lower grades and antisocial behavior. Poor academic and vocational performance and the lack of social skills can lead to low self-esteem and, in later life, decreased employment opportunities. Depression can cause a person of any age to avoid social contact, aggravating his/her sense of loneliness and hopelessness. Many researchers believe that depression occurs when chemical changes or imbalances in the brain affect the neurotransmitters, which send signals or messages that affect how we feel. Common medical tests performed to identify possible biological or chemical factors for depression include urine tests for sugar and protein, complete blood count and biochemistry, thyroid function tests, and, occasionally, a brain scan.Many factors play a role in depression: Medications and Other Substances Certain prescription drugs (such as sedatives, steroids, and high blood pressure medications) and hormonal treatments can cause symptoms of depression. Depressed people are also more likely to engage in alcohol or substance abuse, which only worsens their condition.Genetics Some types of depression seem to run in families. However, depression can also affect people with no family history of it when stressful life changes occur.Changes and Stressful Events A negative change in circumstances such as divorce, death, a breakup with a boyfriend/girlfriend, or unemployment may lead to depression if a person feels unprepared or inadequate to cope with it. However, a positive change such as marriage, engagement, high school/college graduation, or employment in a new job can also cause depression when a person feels overly anxious about meeting the demands and responsibilities that come with it.Trauma or Grief Traumatic events such as tragic accidents, physical violence, emotional abuse, or, conversely, emotional neglect can cause depression regardless of whether they occurred recently or earlier in a person’s life. He/she might be constantly reliving the horror of the experience through flashbacks and nightmares. The grief that accompanies the passing of a friend or family member can also lead to depression if a person has trouble finding closure or accepting the finality of death.Age Although depression is not a normal part of aging, elderly people are at also risk for depression since they are prone to chemical imbalances in the brain, illness, chronic pain, and social isolation (particularly if an elderly person lives alone or lacks social support). In addition, they are more likely to be taking medications that may cause symptoms of depression. They are also more resistant to change and thus have greater difficulty accepting and adapting or adjusting to new situations. Since the elderly are less likely to acknowledge feelings of sadness or grief, their symptoms may be less obvious and are often overlooked.However, depression has also been diagnosed in children and adolescents, especially due to stresses from school (tests and assignments), peers (social expectations) family (demands, conflicts, lack of communication), environment (living conditions), or personal health (malnutrition, physical defects, disability, serious illness, eating disorders). Adolescence is a period of drastic hormonal change and heightened emotional vulnerability. It is not surprising that depression often has its onset in the teenage years. Health Conditions Thyroid problems (particularly hypothyroidism – an underactive thyroid condition), brain injury, chronic pain, cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, anorexia, bulimia, insomnia, anemia, post-traumatic stress disorder and other serious illnesses may increase a person’s risk of becoming depressed.Gender Starting from puberty, women are twice as likely as men to experience depression. Frequent major hormonal changes in a woman’s body during menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause may increase incidents of depression. Social and cultural stressors such as working outside the home, raising children, caring for aging parents, spousal abuse, poverty, and relationship strains also contribute greatly to depression in women.Men experience depression differently from women. Among males, it is more often expressed in anger, irritability, agitation or restlessness, and sleep problems (either lack of sleep or excessive sleeping).Women are more likely to suffer from feelings of sadness, worthlessness or excessive guilt. Both genders may develop addictions such as cigarette smoking, drug abuse, or alcohol abuse. They may also experience dramatic changes in appetite leading to weight loss or weight gain. Depressed individuals often feel fatigued or lethargic (lacking in energy) as well.Depressed men and women may also become physically inactive, withdraw from previous activities (e.g. bathing regularly, going to church and other social gatherings) and/or exhibit a lack of interest in pursuits that were once enjoyed (e.g. sex, sports, and hobbies). .At its worst, a depressed condition can prompt a person to take his/her own life and/or commit acts of violence that threaten other people’s lives. Depression is reported to be the leading cause of suicide in Australia, yet it is often unrecognized or untreated.This is why it is so important to have the condition professionally diagnosed and treated if you suspect that you or someone you know may be depressed.
