I can't think of any redeeming value to this post.
Anyway, I have a family member who has been struggling with depression for years. I understand your wish to not feel as though you need to rely on medication to lead a normal life. My family member (now in low-mid 20s) has been on and off medication for like 10 years, accompanied with weekly meetings with professionals. From my point of view, when she's on the medication everything isn't necessarily wonderful but she doesn't have those really bad days. The pattern she shows is that she gets herself to leading a fairly normal/happy life until she feels confident or lazy enough to not rely on the medication, after which she has a fit of depression and starts the cycle over again.
There is absolutly no correct answer with a wonderful solution to your problem if you aren't already making a tremendous mistake leading towards you feelings of depression. Trying different things to combat the depression (including but not limited to medication) is very important, plus you need to plan how you are going to avoid the mistake my family member has made in the past. As for the cost of insurance: in the short term it won't be that much money even if it isn't covered by insurance and it will give you a handle on whether or not what a psychiatrist prescribes for you can actually have a positive effect on your life. In the long run, even if the medication is expensive, it will be worth it if it prevents large parts of your entire life from sucking.

I think you have that "bipolar" problem, like you go from very happy and excited to very sad and with purppose on life.
that can be healed if you look for a doctor, it can happen to anyone don't feel any ashamed of that.

on topic, a friend goes on pills. Not helped imo
|
My ex was in pills. I had to witness multiple panic attacks before. Ever since, I hated and distrusted the pill. She was a nutcase. I dunno if she's the crazy one of the pills are crazy pills but I decided Alcohol is the greatest cure to depression... cuz that's how I handle mine.
I think that's why Koreans aren't "depressed" but more so miserably happy... Alcohol is a byoot.

imo get a gf, it'll definitely help. get a 2nd one if 1 is not enough.
seriously, no love no touch = hell babies don't grow up if they don't get touched
playing sc and exercise help too, u'll be too tired metally and physically to stay awake

non-existant? wow, you're an idiot. you try living up to insane expectations from your parents, being forced to join the military and living in fear of the north coming down to kick the shit out of you your whole life, then tell me that theres no depression there, ok? even if none of those existed, you can still become depressed. it happens to many people because of a chemical imbalance.
What the hell do you know about Korean society? Stop bashing me, you irrational idiot. I'm talking about "clinical depression." Sure, people get sad all the time. But we don't lie in bed all day long feeling sorry for ourselves. Because the parents are so strict, most Korean kids cannot afford to do that. So, in a sense, depression is "beaten" out of us.
I have lived up to the expectations of my parents. And no, we do not live in fear of the North Koreans. Who said we did? Me and all my Korean friends aren't worried about North Korea. And it is an obvious fact that military service is needed.
It is a statistical fact that Americans are the most "depressed." Why are Americans so depressed? You don't have to live up to "insane expectations" from your parents. You don't have required military service. Like said earlier, it is most likely diet.
Many Korean students just don't have the TIME to be depressed. We don't have time to sit around feeling sorry for our pathetic selves. We have to study hard, we are given specific career goals early in life. We are motivated by parents and society to work hard and succeed.
The clinically depressed individuals (many American students) are the ones with too much time on their hands. They have too much time and just use it to drown in their sorrow.

pills are bad... get a girlfriend =)

if korea is less depressing, than i am moving there for sure. i really need a change of scene from this depressing american shit hole.

so its suppressed, you cant be upset....man thats really good. by the way retard, clinical depression does exist in korea. it exists all over. go look it up if you get a chance between your 1432432 push ups. its around 3%, roughly 1.5 million of the almost 49mil living there. so much for not existing?

Well man, when Im feeling down / depressed just blaze some chronic or something. Relax a little, read a book, do some thing productive to get your mind off of everything that causes you stress in life. Hobbies man. Pills that doctors give you are shit. They are just temporary relief that really have no long term effect.

I have friends who don't even know what it is. It is not suppressed. Depression is created. You choose whether you want to be depressed or not. People choose to be depressed more so in the US. It's only natural. If you're sad and feeling down, the natural tendency is to be alone. Your bad mood prevents you from wanting to have fun with friends. If our lives were too busy to let in free time like this, then we wouldn't have time to dwell on our sadness and it would move on.
Crying alone or confining yourself to be depressed alone does not help your situation. I go through this all the time at school.
College is tough. We all have to work hard and study, despite how hard it is. There are some people who cannot take the pressure and decide to give up. I had two friends who dropped out in our freshman year of college. After the 2nd round of exams were given back, we were all shocked at our low marks. We just trudged back home, depressed and dishearted. But most of us, the next day, were motivated to correct our mistakes and not let the bad marks let us down. We worked even harder, because we did NOT want to be disappointed again. But two friends stopped going to class, just to stay in their rooms and mope around. All they did was complain about how hard the work was, and how unfair college was. They were required to withdraw by the school administration at the end of the year because they could not motivate themselves.
It's not about acknowledging the fact that you are depressed. Sure, we all get depressed. But just by saying: "I'm clinically depressed.... I can't do this anymore..." won't get you anywhere. You have to force yourself to move on despite how bad your situation is. It isn't suppressing or denying depression. It's fighting past it and not believing in it. If you believe that you can't succeed, then you will NOT succeed. That is my ideology.

depends on how long you have been depressed for, some people go clinically depressed for only some months while others last years+. if you think its long long term you should tell your parents. cant bottle this junk up - maybe try and get a really good friend. if its a chemical imbalance then your probably in trouble and will have to take the pills

jesus christ, parenthesis kid - shut the fuck up, your name looks like a vagina and your posts fit it well. you have this stupid confidence in everything you say but it's painfully clear that you don't know what you're talking about. get out of here so nobody has to ignore your awful posts.

It comes down to the basic choice of every pathethic big-brained mokey living in a shitty world.
You can rationalize that as things are, it is perfectly logical that everything is as bad as it is and float in your stale pool of misery.
Or, you can *know* that things *will* change, as they always do, and use your time of depression
as best you can. Strange as it may sound, it is a gift of sorts. Time, solitude, another perspective;
all things that are gone all too quickly when you start living the happy, outgoing and productive life.

I can get you the pill for free.

i think its extremely unintelligent to sacrifice your own health to save some money. your health is more important than the money used for the pill. its ok to search for other alternatives, but if its a chemical imbalance, which sounds like the most likely reason for your depression, then the pill is likely your best bet.
