Question by xMCRx: I think I’m depressed. Should I take medicine?
I’ve been depressed for 2 years that I can remember. I hate myself, some of my friends, I’ve started drinking, smoking, and cutting to try and get away from it, I can’t go to my family about it, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve just decided to go to the doctor about it, but I don’t know if I should medicate for it, since there are side effects for any depression medication. I’ve tried all sorts of natural medicine, accupuncture, etc, and nothing seems tmo work. Could I get your opinions?
Side note: I’m 20 yrs old.
I used to go to a therapist, and they make me uneasy. I hate it, and I think that seeing a psychologist could only make things worse.
also, the only psychiatrist in my city is my mom’s friend, and I would feel very uncomfortable going to him for help…
I don’t cut for attention. not even my closest friend knows what I’ve done, and I only do it rarely, when I can’t cope any more. It separates me from my emotional pain.    Read more...

Question by Dahoss65: Drug differences?

1) Sedatives
2) Tranquilizers
3) Anesthetics

Answer by Grrr
Sedatives and tranquilizers have similar effects.

A sedative-hypnotic is a substance that depresses the central nervous system (CNS),[1] resulting in calmness, relaxation, reduction of anxiety, sleepiness, and slowed breathing, and possibly – at higher doses – slurred speech, staggering gait, poor judgment, and slow, uncertain reflexes. Doses of sedative-hypnotics when used as a hypnotic to induce sleep tend to be higher than those used to relieve anxiety.    Read more...
