I'am 23 years old and I have never felt like this before. I just came back from my trip from Karachi Pakistan visitng family. And over there i was compleeity fine. I just came back from Karachi Pakistan to Houston Texas on april 4th . Since then I have been feeling very depressed, no motivation, can't seem to express my words to people, don't want to talk to people, having lack of confidence in front of people , feel like i want to lay in bed all day. At first i thought it was a Thryoid problem so I went to my doctor and he rasied the dosage but I still felt depressed and all the other symptoms i listed. Its been 3 weeks since I came back. I feel like I just want to stay at home all day, don't have any energy to really go out, etc. Do you think I may have a low dopamine or steronin levels in my blood? Any opinions would be great for this. Sometimes I have trouble talking to people ..I"ll talk and in the middle of the sentence i have to think about my next sentence. I have never felt like this before. Eathier i have severe brain damage permanatley (i'am scared) or i have low dopamine or steronin levels. Generally i feeel really tired, confusion, mental alertness is totally gone...PLEASE help me PLEASE!!!! i can't deal with this depression for no reason. . I have no reason to be depressed and i'am depressed! Please

Answer 1

I am having the same problem (also in Houston). I did find out that my dopamine levels are low and i am waiting on a supplement from Apex Energetics. I am so low right now i do not want to get out of bed and im not usually like this either. I make myself get up just to feed the children and the dog and i don't have the energy to do anything else. I will let you know if the products works...Dopaflo and Dopatone. Somethings up cuz I do occasionally have mild highs and lows but nothing like this.

Good luck!

you can treat the chemical imbalance, but the person will still remain untreated. Depression is actually better understood at the commonsense level. If a person has been through alot of stressfull and traumatic events in their life, obvcourse they will develop a negative reaction to it signified by their behavior. The only reason why the term 'chemical imbalance' has oftened been in the prognosis of depression is because anything beyond the scientific microscope so to speak is basically out of bounds in the world of science. Yet many of use know why we have become depressed, and its obviously different to an accidental vessel rupturing. For example, the cause of ones depression maybe from divorce, loss of job, recurrent failures or death of a loved one. Obviously the brain will react to these psychological changes. That is why medication is only a supplement. It can make you feel less anxious but you will still feel unsatisfied with the state of euphoria. People arent looking for treatments, they are looking for a cure.
