How do you deal with stress and/or depression?

[Diso]

I usually use games, music, or taking a break to relieve some of the stress. Otherwise, I just deal with the problem until it's over (usually from a essay or studying). Plus, venting to someone or something usually helps.

I'm too uncaring to be affected by stress for a long time.

Riding around in my car.

Sleeping in a car on a cold day is way good stress reliever

[Elazul Yagami]

the dumbest thing to do is to take drugs

personally i'll:

 

play games

go out with friends

play some sports (or just jump up and down for a while)

sleep.

[DropDeadEd]

Drugs are ok.

 

Nyquil is a good way to keep healthy and get to sleep

Depression isn't always a thing of constant sadness, apathy, etc. It can also be a chemical imbalance.

[DropDeadEd]

Prozac for all.

 

But in most cases they are imbalances

[Weirdy]

I believe that I have the imbalance.

 

Is it possible to have depression due to a genetic predisposition? Like alcoholism?

[DropDeadEd]

You're gonna have to check the DSM.

 

I really cannot remember...but i think there is a disorder

[Gryph]

I believe that I have the imbalance.

 

Is it possible to have depression due to a genetic predisposition? Like alcoholism?

That's something I've heard a little about. I don't know if there is much research on it thought but I wouldn't surprise me. Depression is like any other medical problem thus genetics can definitely play a role.
