Are these signs of depression?

Quote Bud B:

"Look at this page that describes types of depression http://www.amenclinics.com/clinics/infor…

Eating foods high in carbohydrates (breads, cereal, pasta) raises the level of serotonin in the brain. When serotonin levels rise, we feel a calming effect with less anxiety. You need a little carbohydrate at every meal for your brain to produce serotonin. Vitamin D increases levels of serotonin in the brain so get some sunshine. Sunlight and exercise will kick up your feel-good serotonin. Add the raw materials your body needs to make more serotonin by taking fish oil and a B complex vitamin.

Untrue & irresponsible bullshit. Unless you have a dietary deficiency in the raw materials your body needs to synthesise serotonin (this is incredibly unlikely if you eat pretty normally), this suggestion will have no impact whatsoever. Think of it like this: putting more petrol in a car won't make it go faster; that requires someone to push the accelerator. The only time it'll have an impact on speed is if the car has run out of fuel.

Also, the only experimentally-evidenced link between food and depression is with tryptophan, an essential amino acid found in bananas etc. Cutting it out might make you depressed, but increasing it will likely do very little.

How long have your symptoms been going on for? If they carry on for over 6 months, you might have mild depression. If, as I expect, you feel fine in a few weeks, you're a normal teenager. Try to relax and don't put pressure on yourself to be happy all the time.

Sorry, I am not an authorized medical practitioner. Moreover without seeing the patient or without seeing the previous medical records or medical history, it is difficult to guess. Pl. therefore, fix up an appointment and consult a professionally qualified doctor. Doctor will only be able to diagnose your problem.

Depression becomes an illness when it stops you from doing everyday activities like.
Going out,socializing,poor memory,concentration,insomnia,no motivation,loss of interest in life,withdrawn.
If you have a lot of these things for at least 6 months the Doc might diagnose you with Depression.
If it doesn't get better soon,I'd see a therapist
I don't think it's depression,it looks like your losing touch a bit with everyday life due to being on the computer game too much.Find a healthier hobby,get a bicycle,go for walks

No,these signs don't have to be wrote off as depression.You are a normal teenager that is curious about the world,which you should be upset,but you have to face facts and choose what your life means to you and how to approach life in a manner that suits you and make peace of mind.Do not let others guide you into a rut or dig a hole for you.You need your mother to guide and assist you in this important part of your life and life is a big word and is precious.Don't let others write you off as depressed and psycho and don't let them rule your life.Your sister should watch her words and not spread her feelings towards you with other people as people can be treacherous.You have a family matter that is no body else's business.
