AN EMPATHETIC VIEW ON CLINICAL DEPRESSION

Hello Friends! 
You've all heard the word "depression" thrown around.  Someone can be sad to be depressed after a death or any mishap in life.  But what is Clinical Depression.  What is its causes and symptoms?  How can we cope with it?  Is there hope of recovery? 

I have the answer to that and so much more!  But why should you listen to me?  Because I have a degree in psychology and first and foremost I have had depression for almost my entire life.  This gives me both professional and extensive personal experience when it comes to depression.

Depression can drain you and frankly make you feel like "shit".  You loss all interest in life and the things you used to enjoy.  Sometimes you dwell on thoughts of suicide and self-harm. 

Now what?
I wrote a book especially for those with depression.  It offers insight and inspiration into the illness.
This is what this How to Survive Depression contains:

• Introduction
• Definition of Depression
• Causes
• Symptoms

Summary of My Mental Madness Memoir

Summary of MY MENTAL MADNESS MEMOIR by author Stephanie Anne Allen

            My Mental Madness Memoir is the very profound, provoking, and personal true story of my life.  My life has seen much heartache and pain due to suffering from several severe mental illnesses, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and borderline personality disorder.  I was plagued with darkness, mental agony, internal turmoil, mania, delusions, hallucinations, sadness, and loneliness to just name a few.  My insanity let me to committing a crime, at which time I was completely “out of it”.  And for the crime, I suffered even more heartache and pain.  I also have a history of self-mutilation and suicidal attempts.  I have been hospitalized psychiatrically more times than you can count on your fingers and toes.  I lost jobs, friends, relationships, cars, homes, etc.  I had completely hit so many points in my life, where most people would have simply given up.  But I was the exception!  I beat all the many odds and emerged from my mental madness.

            Despite wanting to give up so many times and wanting to just “end it”, I was able to find what I needed to turn my chaotic life around.  I found the courage, strength, faith, and hope to convert my “rock bottom” into a progressive upward direction of energy.  I was able to get the treatment that I very much needed to get well, but that came after I achieved self-awareness of my illnesses.  I achieved recovery and resilience, and now I am sharing my story with the world, in an effort to end stigma and ignorance, and to bring awareness to others on the topic of mental illness. 

            This book will surely stir your every emotion!  Get ready for this intense internal insanity, that will provoke you and want you to continue reading from the very first to the very last word.  It is surely a page-turner that you will not put down.  For readers of this book, I hope you will have an open mind and an open heart as you are reading this.  My Mental Madness Memoir is about total honesty and I hide absolutely nothing.  I want you to see and feel what it is really like to be mentally ill.  Also, your reading experience will open up doors for you to feel like you are the one in the story.  You will become a more empathetic and compassionate person just by reading/listening to this book!

Best Friend's story of surviving "SCHIZOPHRENIA"

Mary B. was just a mere 15 years old when she was given the diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia.  This label seemed to make the disease itself worse.  She felt like an outcast and a "socially unacceptable" misfit.  But today at 38 years old, she has evolved from the stigma and is giving back by helping others in similar situations.

It all began with a broken family and her grandparents taking on the responsibility of raising her. Her grandparents began having problems with getting Mary to go to bed at night.  She only wanted to stay awake and became obsessed with doing her homework all night and folding her clothes continuously in a meticulous matter.  Mary would be described at that time an insomniac, a perfectionist, and an obsessive compulsive person.

Upset with her grandpa's rules and suffering from severe sleep deprivation, Mary B. called the police who took her to a psychiatric hospital for admission.   She stayed there for 7 days.

At age 16, Mary, who was highly upset by having her grandparents raise her, ran away and went to a motel.  She began hearing voices through the walls.  They were haunting her and telling her to "go away".  Being mentally unstable and out of control, she "trashed" the motel room and threw her keys out into the parking lot.  The cops were called.  Mary went to the door half naked and the cops had assumed she was doing crack.  They instructed her to leave the hotel at once.

At age 17, she attempted to work as a dishwasher.  But it was a constant struggle for her to do this job or any job.    She reported to me that she threw her first paycheck off a bridge and that she never cashed any of her checks.  She recalls seeing a grim reaper and a devil with a machete under the bridge.   She tells me that it was a "dark, shadowy image".

At age 18, she dropped out of high school because she thought everybody was talking about her.  She recalls feeling like a "loner".

She mentions to me that at age 20 she was walking down the street.  And that at this time the voices were talking to her, saying that one side of the street was "godly" while the other was evil.  Mary remembers empting her wallet behind a bush.  Then she stripped off all her clothes and went running through the woods.  She thought she was Jesus Christ.  She returned to the road and the cops came and took her to a mental hospital.  There she was placed on anti-psychotic medication.

At age 21, she recalls an incident were she was extremely suicidal and rode her bike 8 miles to the hospital.   Then they admitted her and placed her on an anti-depressant as well.

Mary describes her struggle with mental illness as "very hard and scary"  She said she lost a lot of sleep and was having "nerve problems".  Even today, Mary states that the "meds don't help all the way".  She said "recovery was great!  I took my meds to stop the symptoms from coming back.  And I am going to continue to take my medications to keep me healthy!"

Thanks to Mary B. for sharing her story with us!

Please look out for the next book in the How to Survive Series.  It is called How to Survive Schizophrenia!
Best Wishes,
--Stephanie
