A promising new treatment for depression 

Have you looked into Neuro Serenity by Xtend life? Research that and vitamin D3 and Omega 3 affects and tumeric

Amen

Healthcare providers & insurance : “no stay depressed poor loser” It’s okay bro, we’ll all get through the bs of modern culture & society together.

Studies are being done with psilocybin, a chemical found in certain mushroom. One session, with a doctor in attendance, can last for three months.

@@sophierobinson2738 ketamine has had similar results

Or you could just eat a healthy vegan diet and exercise

@@pinkiepinkster8395 some of us eat healthy vegan, do bikram and Hatha yoga, and other healthy modalities and still need help due to genetic and environmental influences. Sounds like you neither suffer from nor grasp the depth and breadth of depression. Your comment comes off very self righteous and ill informed.

Yeah I ran out of oxycodone so I'm really going through it

@@pinkiepinkster8395 I'm vegetarian and ride a bike to work nearly every day , doesn't make me feel any better

So happy to see this segment via Sunday Morning. Hoping and praying this breakthrough gets every green light it needs so everyone can find lasting relief without unhealthy chemical med cocktails that end up distroying our bodies.

And also " you need to help yourself"... Depression is a lonely illness, there is a lack of empathy, no one asks are you ok today, how are you... it's why dont you get up and help yourself...

Excellent observation! Thank you for your words of wisdom.

I think people who don't have those kinds of problems assume that they have more control over their own mind than they really do. With the degree of control they think they have they can't imagine how it could become a problem, unless the person has a character flaw and brought it on themselves.

I agree with the first part of your statement. The second part of your statement is unfortunately untrue.

They do say it to people with chronic pain. We are supposed to use our minds to overcome our pain when our minds are already destroyed. I’m sounding so negative but it’s the truth. I gave up on my higher power.

Anyone with depression might possibly find the talks and books by Eckhart Tolle helpful. Take care.

@@RobertF- thank you kindly

Your never alone, I used to be so scared of going out, or meeting people, I sometimes have epileptic seizures when im out, what hasn't helped with my anxiety and depression a good friend of mine suggested I look after her dog which has meant I have to walk him, they are just amazing companions just getting out, lifts my spirits, and I would advise, trying to be out can' be a real tonic especially being around creatures, like dogs who live in the moment,

@@martintucker2825 Thank you for reinforcing this to me. That's how strong depression is...I live on a small farm and the depression will "trap" me inside. Plus I'm in chronic pain from an Injury, that messes with me too. But you are right....the animals...the sounds and the breeze...I have to push pass my symptoms....it can be so hard. I just cry some days. I hide it from my family too. 😪

Did your medical insurance cover the costs for TMS?

@@dawnzimmerman6818 yes it did, I tried all kinds of anti-depressants, they always made me worse.

I ask for TMS but there are alot of drawbacks and one has to keep going every week.

@@fdoy there are no drawbacks, if you can't take anti- depressants and are drowning in severe depression and there is a non-invasive, non pharmaceutical answer then getting well shouldn't be looked at as a burden because it takes a little time and commitment. With therapy you also go every week. A little time commitment to save your life is well worth it, I don't understand your comment. I also understand depending on your diagnosis some people aren't able to receive TMS.

@scooterbaby1 Do you have follow-ups or maintenance sessions with TMS?

Call a spade a spade! The USA is fast pace, high expectations, No affordable Mental Health, high living expenses and tax's, Religion pressures/expectations, Gov. bullies, our own cant afford an education, now cutting $$ help for Vets and the elderly, lack of parenting skills, neglect, abused missing & murdered kids every day. Crime rates have doubled, Covid lock down, loss of jobs, illegals coming in expecting our resources, thousands of our own are homeless & hungry. Depressed is an understatement.

yeah, that only took a hundred years... It's still an invisible disability though, which makes people suspect it's a "choice" rather than an illness.

@@scrubjay93 Right? Or that they are faking it. bc suicide is so convenient ?- NOT- when will they wake up?

100% correct. The worst disease on the planet!

Indeed.

It's the number one reason for Social Security disabilty benefits. It's widely accepted as the number one disability world wide.

@@nancyredheffer8988 Because it's the easiest way to scam SSI.

It’s now included on most employers’ disability disclosure forms, and one can request accommodations to help manage work (remote options, schedule adjustments, etc.)

@@peterwelby Social Security can't be "scammed" by most people on the planet suffering from depression. In fact SS disability is not easy to get for depression. It has to be crippling. There are countless scientific studies documenting depression. There are also data on suicide. Reading credentialed sources is recommended.

It is one according to the Social Security Administration & any doctor worth their salt.

Good for you! Don’t let your illness ever define you, and you’re so right I have Scoliosis but I never say “I am Scoliosis” because that’s not me, it’s something that my body has but it’s not me. Please never lose your strength and optimism, you’re awesome and have the power to control and overcome depression. God bless!

I'm glad that works so well for you. It takes more than that for me. I have even done TMS twice.

I take a small daily dose of Abilify- it has helped me immensely! ***Expensive, though***

I did the same thing with my “addiction.” After going to meetings upon meetings where I was told to identify as an addict. You state your name and “I am and addict.” I started saying my name and I am a “recovering human being” I’m not going to continue hammering into my brain that an addictive behavior is my identity. That is just one small step, but every step makes a difference!!! You’re absolutely right and I’m happy to see that you mentioned and brought this up in the comments! We are multifaceted beings and cannot be identified by any one particular thing 😇

Well said.

Jose Morales. God bless you for caring enough to share.

Jose thank you for the comment would love to talk

@@absatwell8163 how do you hide it?do you have a mindset, framework, routine?

@@wilfredopk3080 Everyone has “bad” days. If I’m in one of my spirals I don’t go anywhere, I don’t want anyone to see me like that, besides the fact I have no energy.

@@absatwell8163 thanks..yeah i know but people leave you if you show it

@@wilfredopk3080 I’ve left 2 boyfriends because they were bi-polar and wouldn’t take their meds. It became too exhausting for me. I constantly take my meds, but a “bad” day is really bad.

I’m not going to show up somewhere like it’s all about me and how I’m feeling.

@Go Surf If only it were that simple. Thanks

@Go Surf Yes, it does but it does not cure depression if that is what you are implying..

Let's hope this doesn't just 'disappear'.

@Go Surf - that statement is pure bunk.

@Go Surf please don't attempt to simplify depression as if people with depression are just missing some magic cure or magic potion. Most people with depression have lived with it for years, some of us decades, we have tried all kinds of things to alleviate our symptoms and nothing has worked thus far. Stop patronizing people.

Depression is not an illness!! It is blocked up feelings that need to come out and medication blocks these feelings and you will never be healed. Psychiatrists know that but don't know how to help and so they put people on medication. With a good Psychologist (they are rare) depression can be overcome. I had it for many years and then I came across a healer, people like her are rare in the world, and she taught me all this I wrote above. She even teaches now psychiatrists and doctors who want to learn about the truth..

@@jacquelineleubin5004 Tell us more about this psychologist and what she taught that treated you depression...

I'm pretty sure i'd lose my partner if I let my depression run loose.

When I hear chronic depression from a young age to age 61, suicide attempts (suicidal ideation), and anorexia (eating disorder), I hear underlying Cluster B disorder. Have you ever had Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)? Have you ever heard of a treatment center called Harmony Place in Monterey, CA? Dr. Schwarz specializes in treating eating disorders, and talks about how some of his anorexic patients ask him to please not take away their anorexia. People forget the "nervosa" part of anorexia and that it's an anxiety-based issue. If I had to randomly assume/guess, I'd be willing to bet you were raised by a narcissist(s), and that because of your parent(s) you developed an attachment disorder that is the root cause of all this suffering, including your depression. Now, full disclosure, I didn't come up with that myself, it's something I learned about these "disorders" when reading some of the research and looking for specialists with success rates, as so many "experts" fail their patients, which must make them more woeful, hopeless, and/or anxious. Harmony place specializes in treating eating disorders (and many other similar and/or related disorders), but they focus on the underlying attachment disorder with the parent that causes the disorder to develop in the first place, not the anorexia nervosa....or depression....or suicidal ideation....or if there's any chemical dependency, etc. (or whatever the issue may be). Almost no one focuses on the root cause, instead they just write prescriptions for people that keep them dependent (and sometimes broke) on pharmaceuticals. Dr. Schwarz has been working in this field for decades and was most frustrated by the rate of relapse he was seeing, which is what prompted him to look for another way to approach this (and that is addressing the root cause). People "relapse" because no one is treating the root cause. If you have any interest in listening to him talk about this, here's a link to just one of his videos on eating disorder treatment harmonyplacemonterey.com/treatment/eating-disorder-treatment Here's a video of him talking about his approach to treating depression (unipolar treatment) harmonyplacemonterey.com/treatment/unipolar-depression/ Please feel free to ignore this entire post if you want to, I just saw your comment and wondered if you've ever really encountered a specialist who treats the root cause of these issues instead of just writing you a prescription and tells you to be content with that. Wishing you well on your path to finding a treatment that works for you. No one should have to live like you have for 60+ years.

Tried Medical cannibas? I’m 61 helps

@@le_th_ those are some bold claims from knowing so little about someone other than having depression and an eating disorder. A lot of people have these disorders and a very small amount have a personality disorder.

@@crongusclips7836 They're not bold for anyone whose studied Cluster B disorders for 7 years. That's just being well-informed and being able to recognize a confluence of behaviors and thought patterns, and connecting the dots to what is driving the person's pathological behavior.

@@le_th_ is she your patient that you’ve met in real life?

I was thinking the same. 😒

Excellent point. Like you, I hope this treatment will be widely available. Depression has a remarkable ability to sap a person of their livelihood along with their vigor. I worry that, for many patients, expensive treatments will remain out of reach. I know that when I suffered from Depression, years ago, my downward spiral led to job loss, which led to a loss of insurance, which, eventually, led to great difficulty in receiving treatment and affording the medication that, eventually, really worked to ease my symptoms. The condition had a cascade of effects across my entire life, but it was my finances, perhaps, that were hit the hardest. It completely derailed my career trajectory and prospects. I hope that treatments like these are afforded to those who are the least able to afford them.

Exactly my thoughts

Yep, that was my thought as well. I can't even afford to take my full dose of my bipolar disorder medication right now (although even when I was able to afford it in the past, it still didn't get rid of my depression, only gave me more time between episodes). I can't afford talk therapy either. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been recommended to me multiple times, I can't afford it. I fear that I'm going to deal with this until I'm as old as the woman in the story not because the effective treatment doesn't exist, but because I can't afford it.

I get my insurance for $1/month through Obamacare and I am currently getting Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation covered by my insurance, completely for free. No copay, coinsurance, or deductible. This particular protocol of TMS isn't FDA approved yet, but once it is it will also be insurance covered. Not affordable for lower-income people without insurance though. The equipment is also an issue. You can have insurance that covers it but you have to be near a treatment center. Available in most urban areas but difficult to find outside of that.

It technically is a weakness because it’s a flaw. Doesn’t mean you are less worthy for having that error.

People are ignorant. Worse still, many clinicians are ignorant, too, and they aren't educated or trained on the root cause of these things. Worse still, they have the pharmaceutical industry pushing them to just write prescriptions, as that's less time consuming for them, and they can see more patients if they aren't treating the root cause. Don't get me started. There is so much ignorance in the world, and almost as many people who lack empathy for others.

@@starchannel123 In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. . To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at work, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

@@Chad_Max And that’s after you vowed to stay together in sickness and in health eh? Stay single, knucklehead

@@Chad_Max Clinicall depression is a medical condition, it can literally be seen on scans (as shown in this video as well). You have a right to decide not to be with someone who has it, but please don’t lump all people with depression together. Some can be helped by changing their lifestyles, values etc., but clinical depression needs actual medical brain treatment, whether through medication or procedures such as these. Also it’s rude to call people with mental health issues “whackjobs”, because it can easily happen to all of us. For instance, severe depression can be a result of traumatic brain injury, which you can get by slipping and falling on the street, being in a car accident, etc. So be mindful that you could be a “whackjob” needing this treatment one day

@@Chad_Max How funny that you think you can "allow" someone to be depressed. lol How delusional! You have no power to stop it or change it, and judging by your overt toxicity, I think anyone would be better off to be rid of you, regardless of their state of health.

@@Chad_Max intrinsic values?in what medical site says it is a symptom?are you going to suggest fixing chakras or using rocks?

@@Chad_Max sounds like intrinsic/extrinsic motivation.... depression takes out motivation and depending on the severity it can cause anhedonia (apathy)... many other effects anxiety, stress..

Depression sucks it's takes ur life away and joy and love for things away it makes life miserable

God bless you

Me too, because I'm one of them. I have taken just about every anti-depressant on the market and go to see a therapist weekly, but I struggle mightily.

Prayer didn't create this treatment, and prayer won't make it work any better. When you thank some imaginary ghost man in the sky you are disrespecting the scientists who's hard work and genius actually created this wonderful technology. How dare you credit their achievement to your fictional character.

Praying helps NO ONE but the person saying the prayer, and it helps you feel better about yourself. If prayer actually helped, I'm guessing all pedophile and rapists would be dead, or they'd stop preying on children and vulnerable women. If prayer worked, there'd be no need for cancer hospital for children...or adults for that matter. If prayer worked, there'd be no hungry infants....and don't try to tell me infants have free will, either.

Hi Sabine: I wish this for you too. I suggest keeping a picture of yourself being eligible for and receiving this treatment right before you fall asleep at night and then again when you wake up in the morning. And reflect on how it will feel to have that part of you under control.

It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life. All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!

The pulses in TMS are far stronger than anything your phone or other electronics can generate. TMS pulses are calibrated by seeing the level that causes the patient’s thumb to twitch. Most of our devices can’t emit enough power to do that. If sending a text doesn’t make your thumb twitch, you’re not getting enough electromagnetic energy from its transmissions to seriously affect your neurons.

Maybe it is approved and considered for ocd too by now, or at least also in studies. Is ocd being located in certain brain structural locations according to brain activity by now? Though they are also putting hoarding disorder into a separate category and maybe more than one discrete type of ocd. NYStatePsychiatricHospital was doing trials with the transcranial magnetic treatment some years ago and recruiting patients with OCD spectrum diagnoses under anxiety disorder clinic there. I read the material for informed consent, but decided not to participate because of taking CAT scan for baseline readings. I thought of cost benefit ratio with unknown benefit. Think if in extremis of imminent life threatening suicidality it would have been more clear with "what have you got to lose?"

I too have OCD, along with depression/anxiety i manage basically on my own… I’ve found NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) to be very helpful for my form of OCD (dermatillomania). I take a high dose, 2-3000mg/day and i try to be consistent but i miss days sometimes & do feel a difference. Ive also found Inositol in higher doses than the label recommends, to be helpful for anxiety… which is just so exhausting to live with i think it can trigger/exacerbate depression, it can also cause insomnia & sleep disturbance or deprivation is veeeeeery similar feeling to depression so its also not helpful! I rely on a LOT of herbs really, cannabis too, i think i used to rely on that too much but diversifying with other herbs & supplements helps me manage & keep things more in balance these days. Valerian is fantastic for sleep. Knocks me out! Lol. EFT (emotional freedom technique) aka tapping therapy has also really helped me for acute anxiety or stress in the moment. I also just invested in some Loop earplugs, to help me with noise sensitivity/anxiety/sleep. The “experience” ones are great for the car to cut down on the tiring road noise but still be able to hear important louder sounds like horns. They’ve also discovered there is a definite link between the microbiome/our gut bacteria, and our mood & mental health. Its important to get both Pre* & Pro- biotic foods/drinks in your diet. My personal favorite is Kombucha, Aqua Kefir, or Jun Kombucha, they’re like natural anti-depressants, and they’re fun to drink so it helps give me an alternative to wine 😉which I do love, but you reeeeeally have to be careful & alcohol is NOT recommended for depression, a hangover is like giving yourself a mild case of depression lol. There is also hard kombucha with a slightly higher alcohol content I find such a nice in-between, its relaxing, but not so strong it gives me a hangover or exacerbates depression, it’s really nice for summertime. I also randomly wish Bars would make it just normal to have Kombucha and/or hard kombucha on tap- for the non-alcoholic friends & to just give people a healthier alternative that doesn’t harm mental or physical health while still allowing people to be social. Anyway, i hope maybe some of these tips help, i believe it was a youtube comment section on some mental health/OCD related vid where I originally learned about NAC & the Yale study on people with trichtotillomania (basically the sister OCD to what I have, dermatillomania). You can look up ‘Yale/NAC/trichtotillomania’ study & surely find it, it should pop up 👍 good luck! 💜 🙏✌️

Yes, once someone loses their physical health, you can expect depression on top of that loss of health. People have no idea how important their physical health is until they lose it. I'm sorry for what you've had to go through. I hope you can persevere until things get better.

@@patscorner7183 Lucky You! I meditate and it doesn't always work for depression. Please research! What's good for the goose is not always good for the gander.

Right ? Those with good insurance who don’t have to meet their deductible first.

@Roxanne Mitchell According to published studies in scientific journals, transcendental meditation seems to have the same mechanism of action as this device (PFC and ACC stimulation). Transcendental meditation is sitting down with eyes closed and repeating a mantra for 20 minutes twice a day. One of the common mantras I believe is "Raam", which in traditional Indian cultures is used as the name of God. I mention that in case you want to use a more culturally appropriate mantra for your culture. I believe with practice you can use the mantra for all your waking period, what is referred to in Indian text as "every breath and bite". Both TM and this seem to have the same mechanism of action, the difference is this SAINT therapy has a bigger carbon footprint, requires no effort on the part of the patient, is relatively instantaneous, and is price prohibitive for poorer regions of non first world countries. In the tm when you notice a thought, over time you start to recognize it as just a thought and not a reality, and drift back to repetition of your mantra, your tool against depression. The mantra is designed to eventually replace your thoughts during meditation. The paper on tm is Mahone (2018) "fMRI during transcendental meditation practice." The paper on SAINT therapy in this video is Cole (2021) "Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy: a Double-Blind Trial" I don't wantbto sound like I'm trying to diminish their great work, because it does seem like a really great, lifesaving invention!

Straight from Mayo Clinic: “Much of the stigma attached to ECT is based on early treatments in which high doses of electricity were administered without anesthesia, leading to memory loss, fractured bones and other serious side effects.” Today the procedure is much safer and isn’t like the stuff you see in movies.

ECT is a completely different treatment than what it was in its early years. It is no longer a barbaric treatment. Check on the Internet, and you will see how much it has changed.

Yes I had given up as tms here would not accept me I’m in tempe arizona

Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation uses only 1/400th of the amount of electricity that used to be used during the old Electro-Shock Therapy.

With all due respect it doesn’t seem remotely responsible that any healthcare practitioner would recommend someone going through any treatment protocol 80 times?

Good 4 u! It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life. All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!

True

Yes, I agree. Great dude YOU ARE FREAKIN, PRECIOUS AND UNIQUE! Wish u accept Jesus Christ as your Savior so u can go to heaven after this life. God doesn't expect you to be perfect nor sinless. He just wants u to believe in Him as your Savior for your sins so u can go to heaven after this life.

I don't want to hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me." Deep rest. Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character that you've been trying to play... My father just lighting up the room or wrapping everyone in a story and going, oh, that's the thing I want to do.. My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. He got a safe job. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job. And we had do everything we could to survive.. I saw his love and humor and how it altered the world around me, and I thought - that's something to do, that's something worth my time.. Now fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much. You can spend your life imagining ghosts. And the decisions we make in this moment, are based in either love or fear." -Jim Carrey

Dose ECT actually work?

I tried to and could not submit so I called they did reply with a text

@@eileendoherty2836 I hope you get the help you need.

@@mililaniman ❤️

@@eileendoherty2836 Exercise and working every day prevents me from getting depressed. I hope find what works for you.

Pharma will do everything to discredit it

Yep. Good ole Big Pharma. Trying to keep patients sick, and broke, for life.

This is not an argument against what your reply but here is my experience: I am a Vet with Depression+PTSD. First I have Medicare and have had several MRIs the co-pay has been between $60-80. I have participated in several studies a couple of which are FDA approved treatment. I am currently in another clinical trial. The only way I could get Medicare to pay for the treatment was to enroll in the clinical trial. If I had sought out and paid out of pocket for the treatment it would have been 15K-20K excluding monthly adjustments. I say all this to get across to people who feel like they want to try a treatment or feel like the treatment they are currently on isn’t effective. When you have the energy (seek help) there are many people out there who will help get you where you want to go. Don’t let anyone discourage you, even your doctors. I found all those clinical trials by myself, my Psychiatrist did not suggest but neither did he discourage me from enrolling. Please stay alive your cure is either out there to it’s on the way.

@@Dharmarenee I understand what you are saying and agree. For some (Vets) and people who manage to get a good job with good insurance, then it might be manageable. In my 30 years in the workforce I have never had insurance that covered or reduced the cost sufficiently that I was able to afford it. Only when I have been unemployed and was able to get on state coverage was I able to get the treatment I needed (not specialists but basic therapy and some limited access to meds.), but the moment I get a job I am unable to keep state insurance and its a giant seesaw. I'm glad you are able to get the care you feel you need. I cannot and its killing me.

I maybe left out a vital part even though I am a disabled Veteran I do not seek care in the VA system. I can no longer work so that makes me eligible for Medicare. The VA is helpful if you are in a crisis but long term follow-up and management is sorely lacking. I promise you I am no way wealthy and all the studies were free and most provided an stipend. There are a lot of things happening in mental illness treatment right now, there are treatments in clinical trials(I won’t discuss them in this forum)that are literally mind blowing. The concern with big pharma may be valid but “everything old is new again” and what was once outlawed is now being used again. You seem like a very savvy and determined fellow I bet you could help in the struggle for people to find and afford the treatment they need. I will cling to hope for my part and share my experiences with others and never accept that something is off limits to me because I am “too” this or that. Like I said I have tons of experience in a lot of treatments, I don’t dwell on hearsay and conspiracy theories.

Don't be so quick to think the pharmaceutical industry, one of the most psychopathic industries out there, is just going to let all their profits walk over to the MRI clinic. I can't tell you how much I hope I'm wrong about this. I want to be very, very wrong.

I agree. Imagine if prisoners received this treatment. The world would be a much better place to live

Health insurance in Florida pays for TMS therapy so it’s very likely they would pay for this fast track version.

Yea because nobody cares about people like me

Actually, insurance (as far as I know in California) will only pay for this therapy if your doctors have given you medications and psychological consultations with no improvements or success.

I am convinced that hormone roller coasters contribute to mood disorders.

Everyone's body chemistry is different. In my situation, it was after menopause that my severe depression and anxiety began. I was at the top of my game of life until my final last day of my last menstruation stopped that was August of 2010. I'm now age 67. My depression hasn't ceased. No matter what I've tried to change it. You are fortunate. Not many people are. Genetic's also plays a role. #peace

@@marys3127 Absolutely! When severe depression hits unexpectedly, most men don't understand that about women.

Glad you are here.

@Laura Polonioli I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across dr.sporess, a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly

I am feeling the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
