hi there

Get your medication reviwed by your doctor. My husband is on anti depressant for post traumatic stress disorder and he is constantly falling asleep. He just had his medication reviewed and was given a different anti depressant designed to give you more energy. He will be starting it soon, so hopefully it helps him.

But i have been heavily depressed before and i can tell you that it will get better. I know it is hard, but you really have to pull yourself up when you know you are doing something, like avoiding people and force yourself to do it. I was avoidiong people too and it got out of control. I wouldn't even answer the phone. I just had to realise that it was the depression making me feel that way and wasn't really me, so i had to push through it, if you know what i mean.

Almost everyone gets a little "depressed" at times in their lives, and a brief attack of the blues isn't necessarily anything to worry about. But if the symptoms of depression persist then it could be clinical depression, whether a severe or mild form of depression. Any persistant depressive symptoms need prompt medical investigation by a medical professional.In some cases, the term "depression" will refer to full clinical depression. Other uses of the term may refer to the cluster of depressive disorders of which clinical depression is the most severe type. As mentioned above, the term "depression" may simply refer to depressive symptoms like sadness or down moods.

Diagnosis of depression is not always easy and an underlying cause is always possible. Depressive symptoms could be caused by an emotional upset (e.g. grief, divorce, job loss, etc), by drug abuse, or several other causes. Feeling "depressed" a few days after a major life crisis does not warrant a diagnosis of depression, and in fact taking antidepressants may be an inappropriate treatment in this case (e.g. they may avoid the healthy sequence of coping with grief or loss). However, over-diagnosis of depression and over-prescription of antidepressants in such situations is known to occur. Another possible over-diagnosis of depression is caused by the cycle of emotional symptoms that arise from premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Depressive symptoms may also indicate some type of underlying physical medical disorder. Various related depression-like physical symptoms (e.g. fatigue, lethargy, weakness, tiredness) could be symptoms of an underlying condition such as chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease or several other possible underlying conditions and alternative diagnoses.

The best way to get out of depression and tension is by yoga and exercise. Breating and relaxation exercise will help a lot though you need lot of patience to do it.
