> That's a depression, according to a book, that is not a true depression, but problems with living.
> Anyone know anything about this? What is the best form of treatment for this?I get this all the time. Depression that's caused by external factors, which doesn't last as long as real depression. It can be started anything, from being overwhelmed with too much work, being fired, not getting along with someone, having an argument, knowing someone is unhappy with you, taking a med that makes you feel bad etc.... If you get this, you are very sensitive to external factors, they influence you internally. I read something about it somewhere just yesterday, and they were recommending the SSRIs for it, to take the edge off. I would guess if you want meds, you could do that, and therapy for coping skills.
