Depression.

— Geek

There are people nowadays who are not clinically diagnosed but they show symptoms of depression. This must be read by students, broken-hearted, single mom, single dad, orphan children, and more.

I was clinically diagnosed with severe sadness or depression 10 days after my dad died. I was treated for 6 months and finally survived the anguish.

Now, let us talk about the symptoms of depression, like what I have said there people who are not clinically diagnosed but they are showing symptoms and you guys must check this out and I would suggest to move your ass and see an expert.

Symptoms include:

1. Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions

2. Fatigue and decreased energy

3. Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness

4. Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism

5. Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping

6. Irritability, restlessness

7. Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex

8. Overeating or appetite loss

9. Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment

10. Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings

Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

You have to know yourself and if 3 or more symptoms you acquired then you have to be seen by an expert. You have to go through medication.

You guys have to remember that you must be with your friend every time you are thinking of suicide. For the family or friends who have love ones battling severe sadness or depression you must support them too. You have to know the basics.

There are suicidal clue:

1. A sudden switch from being very sad to being very calm or appearing to be happy

2. Always talking or thinking about death

3. Clinical depression (deep sadness, loss of interest, trouble sleeping and eating) that gets worse

4. Having a "death wish," tempting fate by taking risks that could lead to death, such as driving through red lights

5. Losing interest in things one used to care about

6. Making comments about being hopeless, helpless, or worthless

7. Putting affairs in order, tying up loose ends, changing a will

Saying things like "It would be better if I wasn't here" or "I want out"

8. Talking about suicide (killing one's self)

9. Visiting or calling people one cares about

ADVICE: You have to use your natural instinct on identifying if they are thinking of having suicide.

What can you do as friend or family member?

People with severe sadness want to be alone and they don't want to talk. If that so, let them alone but be there if they want to talk with somebody.

1. Be there to listen.

2. Take their feelings seriously.

3. Become informed.

4. Talk about suicide and safety planning. And let them know that everyone doesn't want to lose them.

5. Back down if they aren’t ready.

6. Respond to emergencies.

To those you are undergoing severe sadness or if the feeling of melancholy continued for 2 weeks then you have to be seen by an expert right away.

Don't worry we have treatment for this illness, the psychologist will later on have an examination but the usual prescription is anti-depressant.

One thing, I know the feeling, don't be afraid. Everything is going to be okay.

Mind over matter? No, mind over medication.

— Geek

My girlfriend and I talked over-the-phone last night about mind over matter which is really hard to explain, mind over matter is not yet generally accepted by science. But the question is, can we heal our own diseases by just thinking of it? And think positively? We had great discussion so my girlfriend requested me to create an article about it. (Believe me, you wouldn't want to decline request from her.)

This is geek by the way, the handsomest according to forbes magazine, I have backgrounds in biology. Biology is one of my favorite subjects because it is awesome to study life and how organisms live on their own and their own way of surviving.

This is my own research and this has no explanation by science and medicinal field yet. I can answer your questions just comment it.

If you know what placebo pill is, then that is good. For those who don't know what placebo effect is then I am going to explain it for you guys.

Placebo pill is a new-found drug being studied and experimented by experts, they wanna know if psychological benefit would heal their disease better than physiological effect. To make it short, the patient will be given a drug which is not therapeutic, placebo is effective to a certain diseases like sleep disorder, depression, pain, bowel syndrome, and menopause. The attending physician will fake the medication as if it is to cure their illness. But, the pill given is not therapeutic, they will let the patients think that the pill given to them will cure their illness, so positive conclusion is the key to get rid of the disease. But then, no one can act upon someone's thought so it is up to the patient if they will be positive or negative. Placebo means fake, so we have placebo inhaler, placebo pills and more.

We actually don't need placebo anymore to be honest. With placebo pill like I said, what they are doing is to illuminate the effect of psychological intervention, but the most effectual is the physiological benefit. Why? Here:

We don't need to take in drugs like if we have flu, cold, cough, fever, depression, bowel syndrome, menopause, and more but we just have to be positive that we are going to get healed by just thinking positive. Our mind has correlation to our body and hormones have the biggest effect on our body. Let's talk about neurochemicals first which is known as hormones. Our physiology changes based on our thinking due to the neurochemicals that is being produced. For example, you left your girlfriend. Later on, you realized that you cannot live your life without her, then that thinking will affect your physiology by secreting hormones that will change your mood and you will feel anxiety. Another example, it is late in the evening and you know that your parents are waiting for you and you are expecting to be scolded, that thinking will change your mood and physiology by secreting body chemicals and you will feel afraid of going home.

How will it heal diseases? If you put your ass on a positive side and think positively then you will secrete hormone we call "Serotonin". Serotonin is being produced by the brain and gastrointestinal tract. Now, what is it in serotonin that would make you healed? Serotonin is happy hormone and once happy hormone is released another happy hormone will be accompanied by it. Serotonin will give you a good rest and sleep. By having good rest and enough sleep, it will help your body to repair tissue, generate red blood cell, strengthen your immunity to fight bacteria and viruses. It will help your cells repair and generate a new ones specifically for antibodies. It will give you happy life, sexual satisfaction (ugh), kill depression.

Taking in medication might be deadly for some specially for those who have allergic reaction, and taking in medicine would take an hour to effect but being positive will effect with just snap of a finger.

I created an article about depression, right? Don't let your body be bullied by depression. Think positive.

I repeat, this is my own research and this doesn't have medicinal and therapeutic claims.
