How do I cure my masked depression?

I know. But honestly I don’t want anything official.. It’s not going to be easy finding a job if on my file that I’m diagnosed with depression if I’m being compared to someone diagnosed with nothing… And I find it slightly embarrassing..

It’s better to go to a doctor and have a proper diagnosis then it is being freaked out by something your friends said…

I understand that but what I am reading is that the only form of help I can get is prescription dr*gs and therapy. And I don’t want to be on pills and talk to someone about my problems like some nut job. I don’t feel like it’s there business and I don’t want pills changing how I think or do..

Go to a doc and have him diagnose you and have him prescribe medical medicine too if needed..

you do not have to put depression on any applications or resume hun, and i do not know of any anti depressant that comes up on a drug test. you can tell your parents that you are scarred that you may be depressed and start therapy but not need to take medication. it does not have to be a therapist it could be regular meetings with a school counselor

Ya, a couple years ago, I had symptoms of heart disease and diabetes… Nothing could be farther from the truth haha

any research into my past that any company might look for such as background checks they could easily find my medical history

Don’t get caught up in labels. If you question it, talk to a doctor. If he dignosis it do some natropathic research on alternative means of addressing it.

Ask your parents, see what they suggest.

thx but I don’t want them to worry or start enrolling me into some weird classes or therapy sessions.

but they are not aloud to hold a job from you, if someone who is schizophrenic can have equal right opportunity then someone who has cured depression should not have any trouble at all … and you know you posting that you have depression on funadvice is more easy for your future bosses to find then a private medical history file that is not even put on the internet …

good point -.-

I was diagnosed with high depression and anxiety so my doctors put me on Celexa. But it actually made me worse so I stopped taking it. I also took a different outlook on life and have been doing pretty good. Just try to be positive and talk to someone if you’re having any problems.
