  1. I have clinical depression. I just lost my job, one of many. The difference is that I actually really liked this job. They told me I havent learned anything and im not improving. It hurts me a lot. I hurt everyone and everything I care about. I can't keep a job even if I like the job. Idk what to do…

  2. I like thinking of MDD as being "In 5 SAD CAGES 4 two weeks"
    In-terest (decreased)

    5 (need 5 Sx)

    Sleep disturbances
    Appetite (decreased)
    Depressed mood

    Concentration (decreased)
    Activity (psychomotor retardation)
    Guilt
    Energy
    Suicide

  3. Thank you for raising awareness about depression and the role of holistic treatments. I'm eager to learn more about Planet Ayurveda and how it can support mental well-being.

  4. I've been depressed/everyday for the last three years. No medications work. I don't know what to do. I wake up have some caffeine and than crash. I have to push myself to do everything. I feel very slowed down and exhausted all day.n
