But by your logic, depression doesn't exist either since its subjectively diagnosed as well.

This is the hesitancy associated with psychiatry, the lack of objective physiological criteria will always hamper its acceptance.




It's really the best thing we have.

There is no blood test to determine if you have ADD or depression. The best you can do is have a conversation with your doctor and they will evaluate you and see if you meet a criteria.

You'll know something's wrong if you have it. Your life won't be right. Nobody that really has it, is somehow not aware that something is wrong. Its unmistakable.

Most depression is overdiagnosed and this isn't a lofty or surprising claim. Experts in the field back me up on this

Some percentage of people who are diagnosed as "depressed" do indeed have an uncurable lifelong disease sometimes inherited through genetics and marked by irreversible macrostructural issues in the brain from birth

Their brains literally cannot produce enough seretonin. It is not a recent phenomina. There are people with depression all of the world, in every country since the dawn of mankind and can be traced through families. We know the biological/structural issues that contribute to the symptoms of depression and they are not temporary or curable. Healthy lifestyle choices can help, but my buddy has traced his suicidal depression back up to 4 generations. His great grandparents were in a small village in Iran, and had 0 idea what a psychiatrist was and displayed clear signs of suidical tendencies despite being rich and well off as a family. Clinical depression isn't new and there is a lot of evidence to make the claim about it that I made above

BC; I am ignoring any of your posts regarding science or logic. I enjoy your other posts. Typically witty or funny. But your incredibly illogical and I refuse to argue with you ever. You have done a great job of contorting and exaggerating my fairly straightforward and scientifically backed thesis

Well actually yes. I was just tested on this for my neuroanatomy class. There has been some success in a blood test for depression. They will check for inactive seretonin metabolites in the blood stream. If there are consistenly low levels throughout your life, and throughout therapy, treatment etc. its clear your brain lacks the ability to produce seretonin

I hate the system as well but unfortunately I fell victim due to my own selfish motives. I tried to tell my Doc wanted off and he said that it was impossible, that I would always need to be medicated for the rest of my life for my bi-polar and anxiety.

This is why I am getting ready to go to a treatment facility in Colorado. I live in Ohio, and when I admitted myself they took all my benzos away and put me on Neurontin and loads of Seroquel. That is not okay.

I signed myself out against medical supervision, and now I am getting ready to go to a facility in Colorado, where hopefully they can taper me the right way. I tried doing it on my own using RC benzos like Diclazepam but it just didn't work for me due to lack of will power I suppose.

Sorry to be so off topic, a lot on my mind, I'm scared to back into treatment but what I am doing is not working.

This is patently false. There are no blood tests for depression, nor are there "macrostructural changes" used for a clinical diagnoses. All of the diagnoses are questionnaire-based. HAM-D, DSM, etc.

Teens with major depression had 17% smaller hippocampus volume than the control group, reports MacMaster.

http://www.webmd.com/depression/news/20040129/brain-structure-linked-to-major-depression

A quick google search revealed this. I guess brain scans arent part of the diagnosis, but we do indeed have marked structural issues in major depression

Also, the seretonin metabolite post was simply a study done by researchers. It isn't something done regulalry though. They found limited success. I could try and look through my notes later for it

Associations and correlations aren't diagnostic. ADHD has also been associated with genetics and structural changes as well.

But are those changes proven to be uncurable? This is the question?

In the case of an inherited genetic predisposition (e.g., for example, a study of identical twins) those changes wouldn't change. As far as structural brain changes are concerned, first one would have to reliably establish they are causal for a disorder, and then show they resolve in conjunction with the clinical syndrome.

Since none of these changes have been established as causal, I'd assume none have been shown to resolve (or change back).

no, it's because some people get hyperfocused, some get unfocused, some are always rambunctious, some cannot sit still, ect ect

ADHD has alot of varying symptoms. and by symptoms i mean you cannot adjust even if you'd wanted to.

i know i don't, but there are plenty who do and they can't, hence medicine of any sort that can help is appropriate. now what medicine to take, i can't be too sure, i don't take any, and i'm not a doctor, but i know one thing, if it helps it helps.

You can go to your hippy island where everyone with mental disorders eats mushrooms and meditates and it all goes away.

In the real world, stimulants are the best treatment for ADD. It is not just being distracted. There is a thorough process and an evaluation that must take place that goes over a broad list of different situations and symptoms you might have to get a proper diagnosis.

ADD is just as legitimate as any other mental disorder. If you are like topdog and think no mental disorder is real and people with clinical depression should just be happy then you can subscribe to that idea but the entire medical and scientific community agrees that these disorders are real and require and evaluation and treatment from a medical professional and not some guy on the internet that says he has the cure.

He is saying you people because saying ADD is  real condition here and trusting modern medicine is like the biggest sin you can commit.
