Serious ❤ Information About Mental Health Resources ❤

Yes, I've decided to revive the thread, with as much information I can get. If you don't know, this is basically a help thread which was originally made by fibunny. We're still looking for helpers, after all, fibunny's goal was to manage to get this page translated in every language so we can help everyone using the forums!

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being.Depressed people can feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable or restless. They may lose interest in activities that were once pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating, have problems concentrating, remembering details or making decisions, and may contemplate, attempt or commit suicide. Insomnia, excessive sleeping, fatigue, aches, pains, digestive problems or reduced energy may also be present.

Depression is a feature of some psychiatric syndromes such as major depressive disorder but it may also be a normal reaction to certain life events, a symptom of some bodily ailments or a side effect of some drugs and medical treatments.

The good news is that with the right treatment and support, most people can make a full recovery. If you are feeling depressed, it is imperative that you seek the help of your local doctor. Failing that, this thread is here to provide you with resources that you can use in times of hardship or crisis.

Depression is more than simply feeling unhappy or fed up for a few days.
We all go through spells of feeling down, but when you're depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks or months, rather than just a few days. Some people still think that depression is trivial and not a genuine health condition. They're wrong. Depression is a real illness with real symptoms, and it's not a sign of weakness or something you can "snap out of" by "pulling yourself together".

Depressionen sind mehr als nur etwas traurig zu sein für ein paar Tage. Wir alle gehen durch Phasen in denen es uns nicht sehr gut geht, wenn du allerdings depressiv bist fühlst du dich dauerhaft unglücklich, für Wochen oder sogar Monate anstatt von nur ein paar Tagen. Allerdings gibt es immernoch Menschen die denken das Depressionen etwas belangloses sind und nicht eine ernstzunehmende Krankheit. Das stimmt nicht. Depression ist ist eine reale Krankheit mit echten Symptomen, und kein Zeichen von Schwäche oder etwas das du bekämpfst indem du dich zusammenreißt.

Die gute Nachricht allerdings ist das mit den richtigen Mitteln und guter Unterstützung fast jeder sich vollkomen Erholen kann. Wenn du meinst das du depressiv bist solltest du unbedingt einen Arzt in deiner Nähe aufsuch.

Depressie is meer dan je gewoon maar ongelukkig voelen. We gaan allemaal door fases waar je je een dipje hebt, een beetje slechter voelt. Maar als je depressief bent, voel je je aanhoudend triest voor weken, en zelfs maanden lang. Depressie is van lange duur, je hebt het niet voor een paar dagen. Sommige mensen denken dat depressie geen echte ziekte is. Deze personen hebben ongelijk. Depressie is een echte ziekte met echte symptomen, het is geen teken van zwakheid of iets waar je zomaar van af raakt.

Het goede nieuws is, dat met een goede behandeling en ondersteuningen, de meeste mensen er weer helemaal bovenop komen. Als je je depressief voelt is het noodzakelijk dat je met jouw lokale dokter gaat praten. Als dat niet lukt, kan dit onderwerp je helpen door je te voorzien van middelen die je kunt gebruiken in moeilijke tijden.

Depression är mer än att bara känna sig olycklig eller trött för ett par dagar. Vi går alla igenom perioder av att vara nere, men när du är deprimerad du känner ihållande ledsen i veckor eller månader, i stället för bara ett par dagar. Vissa människor tror fortfarande att depression är enkelt och inte ett verkligt hälsotillstånd. De har fel. Depression är en verklig sjukdom med verkliga symptom, och det är inte ett tecken på svaghet eller något du kan "sluta med" med "dra dig samman".

Den goda nyheten är att med rätt behandling och stöd, kan de flesta människor göra en fullständig återhämtning. Om du känner dig deprimerad, är det viktigt att du söker hjälp av din lokala läkare. Om detta inte sker, är denna tråd här för att ge människor med resurser som de kan använda i tider av svårigheter eller kris.

Masennus on enemmän kuin pelkkä surullisuuden tunne muutaman päivän ajan.
Me kaikki menemme vaikeiden jaksojen läpi elämässä, mutta silloin kun olet masentunut tunnet jatkuvaa surullisuuden tunnetta pidempään kuin vain muutamaksi päiväksi. Jotkut ihmiset silti luulevat, että masennus ei ole aito sairaus. He ovat väärässä. Masennus on aito sairaus aidoilla oireilla ja se ei ole heikkouden merkki, sillä uhrit eivät voi noin vain "ottaa itseään niskasta kiinni".

Hyvät uutiset ovat, että oikealla hoidolla ja avulla suurin osa uhreista voivat parantua masennuksesta kokonaan. Jos tunnet masentuneelta, on välttämätöntä, että haet apua paikalliselta lääkäriltä. Muussa tapauksessa tämä ketju tarjoaa ihmisille resursseja joita he voivat käyttää vaikeina aikoina tai kriiseissä.

Depressão é mais do que simplesmente sentir-se infeliz ou triste por alguns dias. Todos passamos por momentos em que nos sentimos em baixo, mas quando estás deprimido, você se sente persistentmente triste por semanas ou meses, em vez de só alguns dias. Algumas pessoas ainda pensam que a depressão é normal e não uma condição mental genuína. Estão errados. Depressão é uma doença real com sintomas, e não é um sinal de fraqueza ou algo de que “passa com o tempo” ou “comporte”.

As boas notícias é que com o tratamento certo, a maior parte das pessoas conseguem recuperar totalmente. Se te sentires deprimido, é importante que procures ajuda do teu médico local. Falhando isso, este post está aqui para dar a pessoas recursos que consigam usar nos tempos de crise.

Депрессия является больше, чем просто в течение нескольких дней чувствую себя плохо. У нас есть, когда мы чувствуем, все раз мы «ослабленных», но это постоянно в течение нескольких недель в депрессии, и непрерывно чувствовать себя плохо, а всего за несколько дней. Некоторые люди говорят, что это депрессия не реальная болезнь. Вы не правы. Депрессия является реальной болезнью с реальными симптомов, и это не признак слабости, или то, где можно просто разорвать только раз вместе должны.

Хорошей новостью является то, что большинство людей могут оправиться от депрессии снова с правой лечения. Если вы чувствуете себя подавленным, крайне важно, что вы можете получить помощь от своего врача. Если это не помогает или не возможно, это потому, что в люди там просто есть, что жесткий, чтобы предоставить вам нужные ресурсы, чтобы помочь им жить в их.

抑鬱症是不僅僅是感到不快或厭倦了幾天。
我們都經歷了情緒低落的法術，但是當你沮喪，你感到難過持續數週或數月，而不是短短幾天。有些人仍然認為，抑鬱症是微不足道的，而不是一個真正的健康狀況。他們錯了。抑鬱症是一種真正的疾病與真正的症狀，它不是軟弱或者是你可以“振作起來”被“拉自己一起”的標誌。

好消息是，與正確的治療和支持，大多數人可以完全康復。如果你感到沮喪，這是你尋求當地醫生的幫助是必不可少的。如果做不到這一點，這個線程就在這裡向人們提供他們能夠在困難和危機的時候使用的資源。

If you've read all the way down here, we're looking for people to help with France, Norway, Hungary, and Denmark. If anyone's willing to help, PM me, and I'll send you some things you can help with. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day.

 

lmao singapore's main language is malay tho

At least founding language, we normally use english or chinese now

 

Ooh, I'll look into what I have written down/saved on my phone, and see if I can contribute anything, this is a really important thread and should be kept alive imo

 

CAMHS is a government provides service for UK children. It takes a long time to get started, but they offer highly trained therapists with weekly appointments. I see them myself and, after a few weeks of sessions, they've helped me progress in leaps and bounds

 

Thank you. One of my friend's friend had a surgery today. It was successful :D

 

I know this thread is pretty much dead, but still, you might add the following video too. It's not quite a mental health resource, but it might help some people suffering from depression. Our English teacher showed this to us in class :)

It almost made me cry (and I never cried about a movie or video), so if you are susceptible to crying get your tissues ready

 

eh... Cahms aren't the best... It took 9 years for a diagnosis and then 2 years of going in circles through business for help...

 

We should really get this thread pinned, it's a useful guide.

Oh man I remember that video and all the feels associated with it

 

Honestly speaking, nothing ever moves me. I don't find many things that touching or beautiful.

But this video? Man, this broke through many barriers to get to me.

 

so, im here to volunteer for this amazing stuff. if there was an app or something... i can also translate it into Hebrew.

 

Just start a private convo with me, and I'll give you some things to translate for the thread :P
