Depression is a state of mind in which one feels low and shows utter disinterest or rather aversion towards any kind of activities. A depressed person suffers from a melancholy or sadness far exceeding the normal level of sadness or grief. Depression is viewed in the light of psychology, ‘the science without a definition’. Therefore the nature, the enormity and cause of depression vary from person to person.

In other words, we all differ from each other psychologically; therefore the depression that we suffer from also differs in nature. Depression takes a toll on the person’s health and adversely affects his or her behavior, emotions and thoughts. Depression may be of two broad types: Endogenous and Neurotic. Endogenous depression springs from genes whereas neurotic depression is the way the mind reacts to environmental precipitating factors like death of loved ones or any other significant loss.

True enough, being pregnant is a very wonderful event. Aside from the feeling of awe and amazement of carrying a life inside the womb, they get to experience the joy and excitement whenever they feel their baby moving inside them.

Expecting women can experience fantastic changes such as a natural glowing and clearer skin, softer hair and bigger mammary glands. Nonetheless along with these magnificent changes, expecting women can experience “the nesting instincts” like the urge to clean, organize and decorate the house, mood swings, fatigue, morning sickness, depression, varicose veins, hemorrhoids and even constipation.

I am 11 days late today. I am never more than 2 days late. I have taken like 5 home pregnancy tests and they are negative. I am on prescription medication for pain, high blood pressure and depression. Can any of these effect a pregnancy test? Also when I was pregnant with my daughter who is 5 yrs old, I did not find out until I was 17 weeks pregnant. At the time I had took like 3 tests and they were all negative so I thought I was just stressed and that is why I was missing my period…well I started feeling bad and lo and behold I was 17 weeks pregnant. So is it possible that some women just dont “show” on home pregnancy tests?

I have 2 children. One 6 and one 13 months. I’m almost 7 months pregnant and stay at home everyday. I don’t have any friends anymore my stepsister/ best friend quit talking to me b/c she doesn’t like my boyfriend (father of my 3 children) I’m low income and live in a rural area and can’t afford to go out and do much. I would love to get a job, but I can’t afford daycare and rent on minimum wage (that’s all the jobs pay in my area). I used to spend time with my mom but she hasn’t been around much lately b/c my stepdad has aggressive cancer and gets daily treatment and hour away. I just really feel alone lately and don’t know what to do. I have nothing to look forward to. My boyfriend works a lot so I don’t even see him that often. I was being treated for postpartum depression when I got pregnant but had to quit taking med due to pregnancy. And I no longer go to counseling b/c I felt like I wasn’t doing much talking- my counselor mostly chit chatted about her grandkids. I wake up everyday not wanting to get out of bed b/c I know all there is to do is clean. I plan to start school in the fall, but that’s still 3 months away. Has anyone else ever felt like this? What can I do to make things better? .

I’m late on my period by over a week and last month I only got it for 2 days or so, but every home pregnancy test I take comes back negative. I’m on a new medication for depression and since it hasn’t been out long no one knows how it works with pregnant women. I don’t have insurance so I don’t want to go in to the ob/gyn unless I’m fairly certain I am pregnant. Does anyone know anything about this?

People with depression are simply not able to carry on their lives normally. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. When these symptoms become very intense, they start interfering with one’s ability to normally carry out even the daily chores. The person feels unable to do anything about it; other people need to help him out of this depressive situation. Appropriate treatment is required to help most people who suffer from depression.
