Does it actually work? I have Seasonal depression: depressed in the winter and fall, happy in the summer an spring. Plus I have social anxiety. Any answers would be awesome.

Best answer:

Answer by oldtimekid2
It does work for some people, but I’ve seen several studies that have shown that in unbiased circumstances (meaning the drug company isn’t funding or influencing the study), the antidepressants do no better than placebo.
http://www.drugs.com/zoloft.html points out that “Zoloft is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Zoloft affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.” It also lists a huge line of side effects including increased risk of suicide and many things that actually make some people more depressed (sexual side effects and whatnot).

Question by Mario: Is there a medical condition that causes the mind not to age past childhood?
Please, no Michael Jackson jokes. This is serious. And I’m not referring to mental retardation or any of those MAJOR mental disorders.

Like, is it normal for a grown man to be so fond of his childhood that he can’t let it go. And even has child-like desires that most grown-ups overcome? You know, like be able to drive and act perfectly normal towards others, yet be SO different on the inside?

I know a person like this. He’s a great guy and kind to all, but he can’t seem to handle normal adult situations in life, such as major responsibilities or handling business matters. He said that he feels like a kid still, like his mind hasn’t matured past 14 or so. He still has a fondness for certain toys that he once loved as a kid (and even buys them sometimes) and he constantly reminisces about the good times of his childhood.
