Melancholic Depression and Dysthymia

Описание: I don't know how much I've talked about these things in my more recent videos, but I guess this is more of a look at my diagnosis and some of the other things that have been suggested about my condition.

[IMPORTANT: If anything I talk about distresses you, yeah call someone like Lifeline 13 11 14, but then please see a GP coz those hotlines are more like calm-down services than actual help IMO. Your GP is the one who can refer you to proper treatment.]

In this video:
0:24 How melancholic depression fucks with my day
4:13 Working on my sleep pattern for uni
7:25 Probiotics (ignore my "antibiotics" slip up!)
8:52 Other conditions I might have, and an autism tangent
13:00 Dysthymia (Persistent Depressive Disorder)
15:45 Why more accurate diagnosis can be important
17:05 My problem with the science of psychology
19:15 The welfare system is not friendly to mental illness

The song snippet at the end is "Dead Inside" from my band Rainbow Death Ray. https://rainbowdeathray.bandcamp.com/...

UPDATE: A few months after this video, I did finally recover. Things aren't perfect, but they're nowhere near as bad. 3 months ago, January 2022, I also got diagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder which explains pretty much everything about my life. You can watch my video about that here:    • I Have Schizoid Personality Disorder  

Also, for those of you struggling with anhedonia, here's a short term idea about how to potentially deal with that if you have similar experiences to me:    • Anhedonia and Adrenaline  

Hope this helps and answers some common questions that have been popping up in more recent times. Feel free to keep reaching out though, I'll do my best, I'm still a small YouTuber so I reply to just about everything :)

Take care.
