Sub-personality is often developed usually when a child is subjected to overly sophisticated trauma, trying experiences. The child must then create a kind of armoring or shield to survive and be protected emotionally. These sub-personalities can be recognized because they eventually erode and deplete energy from the adult since they are not authentically connected to the Divine Self. www.whitelightmedicine.com … combating depression weight loss alternative medicine for dogs cats pets women …

I have struggled with depression since about 1st grade, and I have never been able to hold down a job for more than about a year. I feel that I would be a good candidate for disability, but I don’t even know where to begin (not to mention feeling overwhelmed by it). Can someone please help?
Thank you for the people who have tried to ANSWER my question, rather than spout off their opinions of what I should do instead. Yes, depression is as disabilitating, if not more, than someone who needs a walker, etc. Some people’s legs don’t work, and deserve disability. My brain does not work right, it apparantly never has. It IS a physical problem. (Really, I am probably Bi-polar, if giving it another name makes it more “real.”) I have tried every type of therapy, and almost every medicine available. The REASON I am depressed is because I have a medical condition. Many people have “struggled with depression” and may have even been on anti-depressants and still have no clue what it is to have a true physical disorder of the brain. Please, if you know of what forms I need to fill out, what kind of doctors need to help with those forms, etc., I welcome your help. If you want to tell me to go take a walk, please save your “help.” I know more about how to fight it than you.

Depression and mental illnesses are usually treated with medicines. However these meds only treat and diminish the symptoms they do not cure. Once you are off meds you get your symptoms back. Most mental illnesses are caused by an unbalance of brain neurotrasmiters (cientific explanation). The spiritual explanation is that the person has a spirit attached that makes them feel depressed, sad, lack of concentration or makes them hear voices, etc. Since cientific and medicine have not found a cure to these illnesses, should we do the spiritual approach. (find witches to release these spirits) if not, what is the cure for depression and mental illnesses. Argentox2@yahoo.com
