Are there any over the counter anti-depressants?

Depression is a very serious problem that can get out of hand faster than you’d think.

Talk to your parents–they won’t be mad, because you haven’t done anything wrong. Depression doesn’t affect “bad” people, or “sick” people. It can affect anyone, and it’s most likely no one’s fault.

no theres not.but you have to remember what ever you tell your doctor in confindence they do not have any right to tell any one else about you and what is happening to you.

heyyy I no this was asked over 2 years ago but I was wondering what you ever did do with your situation. cause I am in the SAME EXACT PLACE.

Thats right. If people know, why should they feel any different towards you? You are just having some negative feelings thats all. Everyone has negative feelings a lot of the time, so if anyone finds out or knows, its not that bad. You are still the same person no matter what, your just feeling a little worse than usual. I have been this way before, but it went away for me. Also, I have heard that anti-depressants can increase your thoughts on sucide AND homicide. Thats killing yourself and even murder. So I hope this informatioon helps you too! I hope I helped and I hope you get/feel better soon! Good Luck. <3

It’s better for you to talk to your parents or a school counselor or someone NOW rather than wait until depression has caused you to consider something more drastic. Depression will rob you of everything good in life and completely cripple your future if you let it. Please find someone to trust and don’t let this disease win. There are many of us who live with it every day so you aren’t alone. The only shame is in giving up without a fight.

I am 18 have been in and out of bad fazes of depression and have almost killed myself before. It is something that can get out of hand and is better to deal with when it is a smaller problem (before it gets out of control). I’ve only more resonantly started telling my close friends not my parents that I’m depressed and suicidal. It not at all an easy thing for someone to here let alone TELL someone. But it’s nice to have a friend that trusts you and can be there just in case you go off the deep end. There are no over the counter antidepressants that I know of. There are a lot of herbal things out there unregulated and might be worth a try. I know nobody is going to like this BUT weed is a natural antidepressant and it’s not that hard to find a connect.

You can’t get weed “over the counter.” While it may be a non-prescription remedy, it’s not a practical one. I’m searching for the answer to the question myself…for my husband and most of his close friends and family knew he was depressed before he did. Telling someone isn’t what he needs. He needs something to calm the anxiety and stop him from thinking suicide is the answer to anything. BWS101, I Googled the question and found something called, “Amoryn.” I don’t know if it works, but I’m thinking I might get some for my husband to try… I hope you find something that helps…

you guys may be right but you are also wrong. if I told my parents I was depressed then they wouldnt believe me. we are a pretty wealthy family. they’d say what do you have to be depressed about. you have a nice home with nice things you dont work you dont have any brothersa or sisters. there is absolutly nothing wrong with you. just get over your adolesence and grow up. but they dont know anything. and people would stare at you differently and ypud realize it instantly. the sudden abnormal mood, the compleate physical change from sulk to glee. if ypu told them then all you’d get is self pitty. people wont change. never will.
