Possibly Addison’s disease?

rare disease
Sarah K

So, I’ve had diarrhea for about three days. It’s really mild, but I decided to see if I could find out what’s causing it, because nobody likes diarrhea. I decided I was being a hypochondriac until I noticed melasma all over my arms and looked in to Addison’s disease. I’ve also been losing weight recently (I didn’t question this because it’s a good thing) and have other symptoms: sweating, fatigue, and even vomiting.

I know this is supposed to be rare and I’m probably overreacting, but I’m usually pretty healthy. I never, ever get diarrhea, I can’t think of anything that would have caused the melasma, and I’m definitely not trying to lose weight.

I don’t have any other diseases that I know of, and I don’t think I’ve done anything “unhealthy.” Any help?

It died this morning because of a rare but deadly disease.
But as far as I know the baby gorilla is fine, lets hope nothing horrible happens to her or any other animals!

The One-Minute Cure

How come we don’t treat depression seriously?

There is a great deal of intellectualism associated with depression. As Hemingway wrote, “Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.” Depression is treated, often times, as a right of passage- something that implies growing from children’s television to the “real life”. Those who suffer from depression are almost implicitly seen as better artists or poets. Depression is ennobling. This is not the case with any other disease, mental or otherwise, that I know of.

Depression is debilitating. It has biological and psychological effects. It is linked to genetics. It has degenerative effects on the brain. How come we do not treat it like a disease- on the same ground as AIDS or diabeties, or even ADD? How come a serious ailment is seen as a poetic license?
To the answer that brought up that antidepressants are widely perscribed-

There is a weird dynamic going on here that I didn’t really get to. While people see the poetic depression of Hemingway as ennobling, they see it as trivial and cosmetic in a different context. In the wonder-years of Prozac, it was perscribed like candy- another indication that we aren’t giving depression the attention it deserves. Depression- especially in adolescence (and younger!) is often seen as a phase that will remedy itself with the passage of time and can safely be disregarded with medicine. This is simply the distinction between “teenage depression” and “adult depression”. A ridiculous world it is that passes this as anything short of sadistic.
