Question by Angie: My friend is hypochondriac and it’s starting to bug me?
She already sees a therapist, so why not receive helpfor this? A few days ago, she came on Facebook and told me she thinks she has cancer and was going to get blood drawn at the hospital.
I was terrified and on the verge of crying because it sounded so serious. When she came back, she acted totally normal. I told her how she was coping with such a possibility and she was just like “I don’t think it’s cancer. I think I have malaria now. I have a lot of the symptoms.” It really is starting to drive me insane. Not only does she do this to herself, she tells me I show symptoms of having some weird disease. She also did this with a mental disorder and told me I had an eating disorder and was depressed, whilst I am neither!
I feel like every time she says she might have a disease that I just want to tell her she does and make her freak out because it’s seriously annoying me, but I get it’s a real disorder and she needs help for it, but I can’t take it anymore! It worries me every time she says there’s a possibility she has a disease!

Question by Prest B: Zoloft. Anxiety and Depression med. ?
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).
