I have never been diognosed with deprssion, but some one on another site suggested that it might be worth talking to my doctor about it.  I red a artical about anticonvulsants and how they could increase risks with suisidal thoughts.  I am not suisidal, but it made me realise how indifferent I have become about life and don't want to do things I used to enjoy.

I take the anticonvulsnt for migranes and have take antidepresents for them in the past.  I have thought I have depresion for a long time, but when I try to read up on it, I just can't understand what I am reading.  I tried to take the depression test, but it makes me see I have no idea what behavor others find typical of me and that I keep everything burried inside.  When I took the antidepresants, I couldn't handle the side effects and never noticed any changes in how I felt before I stoped them.

I was also told that migranes and deprssion could be a comorbid disorder and that I shold talk to my doctor about it.  I understand enough about miranes, but I just don't know about depression.  This may sound weird, but I wouldn't want to talk to a doctor aobut something that I have no idea about.  I guess I wouldn't know where to begin for one thing.

What I do understand talks about it being in your brain and the neurons like migranes, but I also have family problems that I feel contribute to a depression.  Would that affect the neurons andwould medications help this too?
