[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 547341, member: 1550"] Yet part of depression is dysfunctional body rhythms while you are depressed. The doctor and professor who I dealt with at the University of Chicago hospital was the first one to tell me this and many others have followed. It is hard to eat and sleep. Many with depression (as I have had so many times) have insomnia. And your appetite is either too much or too little. That is all part of clinical depression. In a psychiatric hospital, the depressive patients are up late at nigiht, either talking or pacing, praying for sleep. Often only medication works. Sometimes even medication doesn't work. Nightmares are very common, making any sleep disturbed sleep. I know, personally, when I've been depressed and before medication, all I wanted to do is sleep all the time, but I couldn't sleep at all. I couldn't concentrate on TV or reading either to pass the long hours (lack of concentration another sign of depression). It was a biotch. I had no trouble knowing when I was getting depressed and never found a way to stop it from happening anyway, except for the medications I now take. It's a horrible feeling, by the way. You never believe you are ever going to get better. [/QUOTE]
