depression
I'm just curious on how many of you guys have depression. Further more, I would like to know whether you were self diagnosed or not or how you feel about self diagnoses.
See, the reason why I'm asking this is because my class was having a lesson on well being/mental health and the teacher had said that you should never self diagnose yourself with depression, because it could be dangerous and worsen your mental state.
BTW I don't have depression nor self diagnosed depression, but I've just been wondering since I know many of you here self diagnosed yourselves with depression.

well, im currently seeing a therapist & she's never outright "diagnosed me with depression", as in telling me straight up "you have depression", but she does refer to my state as "my depression" during our sessions (idk if it's the same thing). though i won't lie, for the longest while before seeking therapy, i did kinda more or less with depressio...... reply

I got diagnosed with depression years ago. It's not bad to self diagnose as long as did some research on it and later talk to a psychiatrist about it. What you shouldn't do is self diagnose with no basis. If you don't notice any symptoms and nobody was noticed any behaviors that can relate to it then you probably don't have it. reply
This is coming from some who was in therapy not that long ago. Of course I got better along the time from the help of my therapist. While it is natural to notice changes in your mood and the way you function, it’s best to talk with a professional. These were my symptoms, they were described as is.
