Comment on I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction?

  Thanks, I did not realize it was from depression. I regularly visit psychiatrist for depression and anxiety, and I thought my depression was once cured. I guess it did not get better.

    Update your psychiatrist about how you’re doing. Depression varies throughout your life, but the good news is you probably just need a slight adjustment to your treatment.

    Bad news about depression. The clinical kind? The stuff you’re describing? We don’t have a cure yet. We have stuff that will alleviate symptoms and allow a person to live an almost normal life, but it doesn’t cure it. Worse, you might find a medication that seems to fix it, but your body may eventually adjust to it and the depression will come back.

    Talk to your psychiatrist. They should have some suggestions that might help.

    I’ve had to deal with depression my entire life. The fight is constant and real. Don’t give up.

    Keep at it. I had similar symptoms and tried a handful of SSRIs that made no difference for me, and gave up for a while, but my current doctor got me on a SNRI that did the trick.

  probably the best advice anyone here can give.

  At best, we’re just taking guesses here. At worst… well… this is how you end up drinking twenty bottles of tequila a week, seeking the medicinal value of the worm slathered in tabasco sauce
