Answers:
Yeah I had the go on 'the system' after I fell into a depressive state at 19; dropped out of college, couldn't hold down a job etc!.!.

Community health resources- Depending on your area can be pretty unhelpful!. At the end of the day your the one who has to explain to a future employer why you didn't work for 6 months here & there!.!.

Despite what you may think!. Its NEVER a good idea to mention your psychological troubles to an employer!. I haven't used prescribed medication for 4 years, and can cope pretty well with the rigueurs of life!.

As soon as you get labeled by an MD!. Your snookered pal!.

My advice-- Keep the head down until its time to go home!. Change your diet and exercise!. Just take your mind off yourselfWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes I do!.!. I'm a single mother of 2 girl's!. My oldest daughter has ADHD and ODD and I have my own mental issues!. So yes those services are there for people who NEED them!. Some people out there do abuse them!. But if your in a bind and need that help then by all means Go get it!!

Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
