http://i.imgur.com/5Gcb8.jpg A year ago, I was sitting in the middle of class and just up and decided I wanted to be dead, so I got on the next bus to the train station. A man saw me crying and sat next to me and asked me what was wrong, I told him what I was going to do because, well who gives a sh
In this post I'm going to give you a bunch of tips that can help you with your anxiety and depression and not only that but explain some of the science behind it in a way that's easy to understand.

I genuinely despise the words "attitude" and "mindset" and wish to see them permanently expunged from the English vocabulary. Incidentally, none of the counsellors or therapists I've seen over the years have us
What happens next? I facelessly type my problems into the internet and hope that strangers will be able to change my outlook or something. I'm not sure what I actually fucking expect.

I'm bored so I am going to write out my experience/s with Mirtazapine over the last 3 years for anyone looking i
This February marks the end of my (27M) 3rd year on Remeron / Mirtazapine, a non-SSRI antidepressant. Reddit was the only reason I even asked about it, so I’m posting a review for anyone thinking about starting antidepressants, who also might be scared of the side effects many people experience with
I started taking the antidepressant Mirtazapine back in late August. It was to help manage my depression and anxiety. I can't really speak to its effect on those two issues, but I had another issue: chronic, intractable migraines every day that lasted hours upon hours. And the Mirtazapine completely
January marks my 1 year on Mirtazapine, and it has been incredible for me! I have suffered from pretty bad panic attacks and depression since I was 13, and was never medicated (with an antidepressant) till a year ago. It was the perfect drug for me, as I struggle to sleep at night and needed to gai

Disclosure: This post is a sort-of "hail mary" attempt at reviving research and development of an investigational antidepressant that I took as part of a clinical trial. I hope this somehow reaches the eyes of someone either in Minerva Neurosciences or a competing pharmaceutical company. Back in 201
