Can you self diagnose depression?

[Craptarded]

Honestly, I couldnt really say. However, all i know is that i found alot of help with using the site Experience Project. It helped me alot to talk about my problems on there with people going through similar experiences. I hope the site helps

You can self diagnose anything you want.

If you seriously want help or advice though, go to a doctor, say you've been feeling this way and you think you might have depression. From what you said it sounds like you might have mild depression or something, but a doctor/counsellor will be able to help more about that, it depends on causes and things.

Well, unless he's a GP, I wouldn't trust a self diagnosis. Even if he was a GP, you shouldn't self diagnose.

Always see a doctor.

emphasis on the can, I agree that it's not a real diagnosis until you see a doctor!

Even then, it could potentially be wrong aha :L

The worst thing you can do is go to a doctor who will probably drug you up for what ultimately is a form of sadness. The best thing to always do is identify the problem and work on it - and if you can't, then learn to live with whatever the problem is.

I always find personally that sometimes you can fall into the trap of feeling sorry for yourself and you just need to snap out of it.

According to the Daily Mail if you use google you'll get cancer. So good luck with that

Psssssst it's actually a chemical imbalance in the brain caused by miswiring which means you literally cannot feel certain ways. Sadness is a mood, depression is a medical condition of which being sad is one symptom

Definitely just as easily as a gp can misdiagnose you for depression, or anything for that matter. often they misdiagnose you because you don't tell them every little detail, only you really know how you feel & when you're depressed, you will know

No that ain't true what the hell ?? Most mental disorders can't be cured without medication and therapy what the hell are you on about
