Depression Treatment Center

[Rapta]

I've tried so many things over this whole year.. Nothing's helping.. I'm dangerously depressed.. Can a depression treatment center help me? Will it give me a "record"? Has anyone else had an experience with a depression treatment center before? Any advice about this is wanted right now..

Re: Depression Treatment Center

I've been in a few places, the one thing I can say is that I am glad they helped me to never take my own life. I don't know what's going on for you my friend, but I've been to 3 different DTCs and if they didn't help me not kill myself they helped me realize the value of my life. You gotta remember whatever it is that drives you, your dream, even a short term goal, and keep that as your focus, every step towards it will reinforce your self esteem. I hope it helps, if you ever need to talk don't be a stranger.

You're mental health (or maybe health record in general) is private information that if you're applying for a job or something no they can't check something like this.

I've been to multiple psyche hospitals and they work to some extent, but you REALLY have to be willing to change your lifestyle to make things work. There's TONS of medications so finding what works can and in most cases I imagine is a really long process of testing different things until you find what seems to work best, be wary of side effects as these medications pretty much always have permanent or fatal side effects so you really have to pay attention to whats going on when you start anything and keep in check with your doctor.

I've always relapsed and I'm at a point where no I don't want to go back for help because I know for a fact once I get back to my life, I'll continue to do these things that they claim make me depressed, though they are my coping mechanisms and yaknow what, I'm getting by for now at least.

I do recommend professional help if you're really seeking it, it can either be a great experience where you meet some crazy unforgettable people with crazy stories, will likely change your life just from the experience let alone any medical stuff.
At times it'll feel like you're in prison however cause they literally don't really tell you when you're getting out, and I was in one for over a month where from the first day they were telling me I'd probably be out in a few days to a week.
I do strongly encourage trying at least, it should almost definitely help you out for a little while, and at that I'd probably recommend seeking help to anyone that's depressed and is debating trying to get help but not sure what to do.
