How sad do you have to be to get happy pills?!


Question: How sad do you have to be to get happy pills!?
Answers:
I don't know what happy pills are!. If you're talking about antidepressants, then you need to be diagnosed with clinical depression, which is different from just being sad!. The pills don't make you happy!. In general, they regulate your serotonin levels so that you can function normally and feel emotions without being overwhelmed and tired/moody all the time!. If you feel like you may have depression, talk to your doctor about a screening!. Generally, if you've been feeling this way for several weeks, that's a sign!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If happy pills existed it would be great! unfortunately anti-depressants are not happy pills, so don't be fooled for a minute in thinking they are!.!. sometimes they just aboiut curbe the depression and usualy if they are really good they may just make you feel normal again but they wont make everything happy!. There is no grade of sadness, it depends how long this has been going on for, how much it's affecting your daily life and the cause, if there is one! If you are feeling really low and don't know what to do, please go see your gp for advice!.!.!.the only thing i can say is don't depend on the pills to fix it because they are only a crutch and even at that sometimes they aren't the best but it all depends on the person and their situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don't mind me saying, that is a bit of glib question on a very serious and disabling illness!. I don't think you would feel so comfortable saying "How nearly dead do you have to be to get chemotherapy!?" would you!?
Depression is catergorised in several ways, the kind of depression a GP would help you manage would be a mild to moderate reactive depresion (caused by life events) and the most appropriate treatment would depend of the situation and symptoms!. Antidepressants do not make you happy, they are seriously strong drugs which alter your brain's function to allow you to function and remain safe!. They are not rewards for the best sob story or a cure all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ha happy pills!!! I had (have) a bad case of post natal depression and they do not make me happy they make you numb, no emotions, sleepy, I felt like a zombie and worst of all no sex drive, bummer!. Doctor had to change my dose to suit my needs, now I only take them every few months when things get a bit heavy!. Oh and with a lower dose all things bedroom are back to normal heheWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you really want some you can just pretend to be ultra depressed, doctors will give you anything these days, but is that really gonna solve anything!? Your just masking the problem, you need to find out what is really upsetting you and fix it, not just temporarly push it to the side!Www@Answer-Health@Com

happy pills!?!?!?!? you would have to see a professional psychologist for them to decide if you should be on any type of medication!. it would have to be their decision to what type of medication you would then need or if you should just receive therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not always how 'sad' you are, it also depends on the prescribing doctor, or your drug dealer ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com

That kind of depends!. You usually have to be diagnosed with depression or some other kind of disease!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i am pretty sure that you have to be diagnosed with depression first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
