Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I was curious to know what kind of treatment people have gone through for their mental illnesses? As a Psychology student, I am very interested to know all the possiblities for my career.
I have seen:
a psychologist
a psychiatrist (put on many meds)
been inpatient
been partial hospitalization
seen a counselor at school
Any other types?
*This for anyone who thinks that there is no hope in getting better.*
