please never shut up you were made to talk and take it from somebody who has spent there whole life shutting up i wish i could talk on here even half as good and as much as you. on this web site i write some but when its real life i cant say a thing and i mean nothing at all. take this course im on i email my tutor and i can tell her almost anything but in person i have not said more than 2 words to her in the 10wks ive known her beleive me its hard to know what to say to people when you have spent your whole life being told your worthless and to shut up, you should only shut up if and when your ready i like hearing what you have to say

The Mentally challenged and those who suffer from depression are different, don`t get them mixed up.

Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.

RIGHT!!!!!! thank you for posting Unique. ...


i was gonna call you Dog ...but i decided not too lol....

within the mental health industry we can all be labeled as something and even be given pills for it but what they don't realize is that society, technology, and the media are what help to create all of our many issues

i personaly dont think that is true from what i have seen of my own and other peoples problems it seems to be mostly causes by the actions of themselfs and/or others. i mean thats not to say that there arnt other causes like the ones you say just that i think other things seem to cause more problems even things you may not think would. the biggest are the choices we and others make for us and our own ability to cope and one can affect the other. take for instance using drugs in the treatment of childrens mental health (which i personaly think is totaly wrong for all sorts of reasons) that is a choice that as made for the child by others that all to often turns out to be the wrong choice and causes all sorts of damage to the childs ability to cope and to trust others. all to often in life it happens that people do things that affect other people but they dont consider the consiquenses of their actions. take for instance a guy who maybe had a bad childhood who grows up with problems whos young and thinks mostly only of himself, who likes to drink too much and well drunk gets up to no good and ends up in prison. consider the 2 babys sat at home without there daddy. they did not make that choice but have to live with the consiquenses of hes choice to drink despite his prior knolage that him + drink=trouble. also consider the mother who has to raise their children alone without him to support her something she did not want for her or the children, she will be the one the children cry to for their daddy, hearing the suffering crys of confusin of her child is enough to damage any mothers mental health

showing and re-showing the images of 9/11 caused people to go into a more depressive state.
i just meant stuff like that where you couldn't go anywhere without being remined of how devastating the attacks were. not only that but just watching how the world is because of the way we treat each other is very depressing.

i understand what your saying and to the exstent of what you just said i do agree it offten makes things like that affect people it would not normaly affect. i know that i was watching things that day and even though i was in the uk and only saw it on tv i think about things like that. i mean i could not imagin being in the possision of the princes william and harry after what happened to princess di watching things on tv like that hits peopole hard but if its your mum and the tv knows more than you do thats got to hurt and cause tromendus damage.

i agree
i wasn't trying to disagree with you, just clarifying myself.

i understand forgive me i'm just getting used to saying what i think on these matters so i guess i have a need to making sure i'm understood. tell me grumpy1 what other views do you have on mental health? im interested to know

that it sux trying to find out what is wrong with you and alot of people have illnesses and they go undetected. before they know it it is really hard to get the help that they need

i totally agree with that one i wish somebody had noticed my problems and offered me help long ago. im 26yrs old and ive had problems my whole life but did not get any help till i was bout 21 when i was bad after my dad took me to doctors. before that i was only offered help once in high school but they just sent me to a special needs teacher whos brightest idea was to say to me "its all in your head" and that was it goodbye. its stupid how lots of them just say i cant help you go away instead of trying to find somebody who can help you. i know in this country there are big changes going on in mental health services and they are all well and good but many are making it more confusing for people already useing the services like me. i guess i best start getting my head around them if i am seriouse about working in the mental health feild.

the mental health feild needs people like you!
ones who have been there and know what the patients are going thru.
i was kinda in the same boat but did not get help until i went into a huge depression after one of my best friends died.
Then they said u also have this as well and maybe this, no this is it.
grrrrr.....very agrivating!

there are loads of people who use mental health services that say that there arnt enough people working in the feild who can say they do understand because most of them have not been through it and they wish there were more people to help them that do truely understand. anybody that has suffered with mental health problems knows that the text book version is never the same as the real thing because everybody is different and are affected in diferent ways. i know people who have not been through it can help too they bring things like common sence, rashinal thought that we can all lack sometimes and the ability to focuse only on others mental health not there own. but they can never bring true understanding that isnt something you can read in a text book or buy on ebay you can only get it the hard way through your own pain and suffering. nobody would choose to go through it but all i want to do is help others who are because i know how hard and lonely it can be i dont want all i have been through to be for nothing i want it to mean something. i would not care if i did not get any money to do the kind of job i want to as long as i can help others its fine with me i dont need money i need to be happy and helpful
