Daily d00k13 - Vlog Part #10 - Mental Illness
Many people feel that depression is ‘their’ illness or they are the only ones suffering in this way and that they either can’t talk to others or ask for help, or don’t want to.

A mental disorder, also called a mental illness[2] or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.[3] Such features may be persistent, relapsing and remitting, or occur as a single episode. Many disorders have been described, with signs and symptoms that vary widely between specific disorders.[4][5] Such disorders may be diagnosed by a mental health professional.
The causes of mental disorders are often unclear. Theories may incorporate findings from a range of fields. Mental disorders are usually defined by a combination of how a person behaves, feels, perceives, or thinks.[4] This may be associated with particular regions or functions of the brain, often in a social context. A mental disorder is one aspect of mental health. Cultural and religious beliefs, as well as social norms, should be taken into account when making a diagnosis.[6]
Services are based in psychiatric hospitals or in the community, and assessments are carried out by psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinical social workers, using various methods such as psychometric tests but often relying on observation and questioning. Treatments are provided by various mental health professionals. Psychotherapy and psychiatric medication are two major treatment options. Other treatments include social interventions, peer support, and self-help. In a minority of cases there might be involuntary detention or treatment. Prevention programs have been shown to reduce depression.[4]
Common mental disorders include depression, which affects about 400 million, dementia which affects about 35 million, and schizophrenia, which affects about 21 million people globally.[4] Stigma and discrimination can add to the suffering and disability associated with mental disorders, leading to various social movements attempting to increase understanding and challenge social exclusion.

Been there, but hasn't done that.
It's kinda like beeing the bartender, you are not drunk but you somehow know how that is going... kinda.
I know because I'm a former bartender :p, nice cople of years, oh, and 3 friends with diagonsed depression wich is a motherfucking disease, 2 of them fully recover a few years ago, but once has been on clonazepam and 2 other anti-psicotic wich I assume is far from healty, but at least he gets to go by. Although I doo feel like he needs to change his doctior.
Anyway, I always knew you've been a lot crazier than most regular dookies you get to know.
Good life bro, keep aiming up.
Thanks man, I like to believe I am the good kind of crazy!
Pretty good analogy like a bartender, it does feel like I’m drunk compared to the world at times, just out of control.
Just stick by your mates, tell them your their for them, you are the saviour in those situations.
Always Smile Everyday!

I'm so sorry for your lost! Heartfelt condolences! Tristan sounds like he was an amazing person who cared very deeply for you. It is not always easy to interact with depressed people, or those with other mental Illnesses. It runs in my family and I suffer from anxiety and depression as well. It is very hard to connect with people. Withdrawal, feeling isolated and alone, behavior problems, shame and guilt. Your video has helped put a smile on my face, even though it's somber and teared me up. Because connection is beautiful. It's healing. And when other people open up, it's comforting. You spoke words of vulnerability and truth it's hard to remember, or believe sometimes in the darkest moments. Thank you for the reminder. Sending you some love. RIP Tristan.
Thank you and your welcome. It wasn’t easy to record that is for sure!
I really wanted to capture my message, I hurt but I still live because of one special individuals actions and that could be anyone in the right situation. I have seen many times over how even the simplest kind gesture can change an entire days sorrow into peace of ones self, acknowledgement goes a long way when everyone seems to walk with a wide berth around these tortured souls.
This was a peice for my own healing, if like with you it can help in anyway my mission was successful. I have been finding the process of recording and editing a very therapeutic experience, as my coworker Bob pointed out to me(join us on steemit Bob). I do not often recognize things like that, I started on steem with guilty intentions but now I am producing from the soul. This blog has turned into my journal, my deepest secrets will get spilled but knowing I have an audience forces me to think of the outcome! What message am I projecting? Who’s going to watch this? Why? Can it help in any way? If nothing else I hope to educate what not to do, I do not have all the answers of what to do.
Tristan was a faboulous soul, so charismatic, selfless, eager to please even at his own expense. I think this is what brought us together, we had known each other for a few years before he opened up to me and I was completely blow away! Never would you think someone so positive could be so broken inside, he had his own losses that brought him down. Ultimately it was the loss of his best bud, second home during his adolescence, after winning 3 rounds of cancer the 4th took him before Tristan could say goodbye. Isn’t it strange how the same scenario played out with me, I didn’t realize what I had till he was gone and I regret not saying so in the same way Tristan regretted not being their during the end.
@phedizzle I am here for you, hit me up when you need, I like to listen, no judgement as I always said to Tristan it goes for you aswell. Remember it will be a struggle, some days a battle, other days will pass without a worry so embrace those days when they come and hold onto that joy for the down days.
Thank you again, it means the world to me that my message reached someone.
That's courageous of you to talk about this bro. I've actually dealt with it too. I have seasonal depression. Maybe because I'm from the Tropics. When it's winter time, it's a really tough time for me. So I'm glad Spring is around the corner. Some good info on here.
Thanks man, I think I needed to get it out of my system!
