Depressed/anxiety??

[ironbeck]

Thanks for advice. Yeah I do think I'm better off here than a pysch at first. Knowledgable member willing to look over my BW to help a brother out...I have tried the valerian root. Kava kava. Ashwaghanda. All natural herbs for anxiety and mood. Didn't seem to really help. I have a close friend that is currently going through the medication merry go round and I personaly see the effects and tbh am scared to death of goin through that. I know cannabis works but unfortunately it's illegal my wife doesn't condone it! So I am forced to go through this stuff with someone else's control. I went to that low t website but there's no where close. But I'm still working on getting my labs and I will post back... Thanks guys

Yea your right, your better off here taking advise from a avatar that could be controlled by a lunatic, than a DR with a REAL name and a tangible degree?

It's been said so many times before: Just because a person has a degree and has a license to practice medicine doesn't mean that he or she is competent to do so. IMO, psychiatry is essentially a failure because it doesn't understand the human mind. This is no secret. It's actually common knowledge. And because it doesn't have the answers, it depends on chemical treatment - exclusively. Have you tried psychotherapy or psychoanalysis? Don't hear much about these nowadays. I believe if these are ever marginally helpful, it's because a person who had nowhere to turn, had someone to talk to.

A person who is depressed feels terrifically alone and different from others - isolated. Here on this forum, a person who is in pain, has the opportunity to share his thoughts and feelings with others who have gone through similar things. People can offer help - a lifeline. This in itself has a person begin to see that he is related to others and feel that he's not alone. "Relation" is terrific therapy.

Furthermore, this statement completely takes away the value and makes less of every member of this forum who has put their heart into being useful to the others on it - including yourself.

Too bad there isn't a "Dislike" tab.

You have really contributed to the purpose of this thread!

If a guy can't come here to seek potential solutions to his problems and weigh out other people's experiences against his, then why the hell do we have this forum? I thought that is what it's for.
