    Another good resource is the book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels.

    i know this was posted a year ago. but this makes me kind of sad. i have all of these symptoms & my mom is at her wits end with how i’ve had all of these symptoms. she’s mad that i have a bad sleep schedule & i cant get out of bed. & it makes me feel worthless. she goes from understanding one day & being rly nice. to the next she’s screaming at me because im dealing with it. i know it’s hard to take care of me, but it just feels worse when she yells and screams at me and acts like she knows everything. or understands how i feel. bc i feel like if she did, she wouldn’t scream at me bc ive told her thousands of times over the years. today she screamed at me again bc i have trouble leaving my bed & it has started to get unhealthy. and she screamed at me bc she expected me to know what to do abt my depression when i feel like im in a dark room, in a corner; and i cant get out. & she just suggested sending me to a bootcamp & force me into a social environment when i haven’t talked to anyone besides her or my grandparents for the last few months ( im abt to be 16 on june 9th ). i stopped going to school for the rest of the year in the end of february i think bc i kept getting sick due to the thought of going to school. ( i had a teacher who picked on me & constantly tried his best to embarrass me in almost every single class. he also influenced kids who bullied me & picked on me. it wasn’t severe but since ive been extremely sensitive, it was detrimental on me. ) sometimes the way my mom can switch up, & understand one day. & then scream at me the other day & act like she doesn’t remember one thing i said. it just makes me feel like a disappointment & that im worthless. she’s actually emotionally abused me over the years bc she’s screamed at me for non-important things, over the years & it’s lowered my self esteem. the only thing i see her reasonably yelling at me for is my grades that tend to drop. ik i can be really smart & im capable. but no matter what i do they always drop the moment i go into a deep depression episode from bottling things up. or constantly helping other ppl & no one seeing im saying words that i wish someone said to me. im just really tired, and i don’t know what to do anymore.

      i don’t even play video games anymore, & that has always been my dream. ive wanted to do it for four years & my mom kept telling me she would help me be able to do it. & it never happened. i have a friend i have been friends with for almost over 2 years, & she remembers me telling her extremely excited that im getting a pc. & she still knows i don’t have one yet. & my birthday is coming up, & i don’t even feel excited or happy abt it. my last birthday, i cried when my family sang me happy birthday. now i don’t even care for it anymore.

      I really suggest eating well for your body! Eating good meat and balancing it with some carbs and a vegetable and drinking whole milk will work wonders, it will take about three months to see a difference. Magnesium is crucial in anxiety and depression, something that is not very talked about but through my own research and experience it is very beneficial (I am finishing my postgrad in psychology). You can buy magnesium cream and put it on your feet and put socks on.
      Moreover, CBT and finding helpful strategies will be helpful for you.
      As well as if you find a supporting group, such as a Church. God is the God of healing and He seeks for you and loves and cares for you.
      God bless

    bad idea about school... I know they mean well, but we have one huge problem- bullies. So if the child that is getting the treatment is mocked about it? Treatment should stay secret.

    Never should children be medicated for depression. It's caused by psychological issues which need to be investigated. Depression is not inherited from your parents, though a degree of sensitivity/susceptibility may be, depression is often learned from depressed/ distressed parents. Look into what is going on in the child's environment especially what us going on with the parents and rest of family. Past episodes of trauma will effect the child if they haven't been addressed properly, if the child hasn't received comfort and reassurance from their mother or caregiver. Trauma can be more low-key and ongoing over a long period of time often the child is witnessing and feeling the distress of a parent or both parents and the parents may not even realise it..
    I'm not blaming parents here but somebody involved in the child's care must be made aware and the child's emotional needs need to be met somehow and as soon as possible. The child needs to be able to open up and talk about how they feel to a responsible adult who they can trust and who can give them validation and reassurance. Parents need a lot of education and support in these situations.

    To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that JESUS LOVES YOU. HE DIED FOR YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life.
    "Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:14-15)
    Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS. ✝️
