About The Founder/Author
Hi, my name is Paul and I – like you or perhaps your friend or loved one – suffer from endogenous depression. For a very long time this went entirely undiagnosed and untreated, partially because I grew up in an environment that stigmatizes depressive disorders and partially because it’s incredibly difficult to tell that something is out of the norm when you have no baseline to compare against. I would often wonder why other people could be cheerful for no reason and why I needed to be alone for so much of the time when others thrived on social interaction. I’ve tried pharmaceutical treatments and although they did help for a while, I wasn’t comfortable with being on pills for the rest of my life and didn’t enjoy the side effects. I’m working on behavioural modification and cognitive therapies now and am, so far, having enough success to be moderately encouraged.
If you’re wondering why I started this website, read why I started ‘Endogenous Depression Help’

Hi, my name is Diego and I live in Mexico City. I do understand what is like, so far I’ve been with about 8 psychologist and some more psychiatrist, but non have been able to help me entirely, some just didn’t even believe I was depress and not know why, not one of them has ever made any medical test instead they just give me a pep talk, I stopped believing in them and in the possibility I’m going to get better. I began to feel this way when I was about 16 or 17, now I’m 27 and it’s not getting any better, in my suicidal mind I even thought of living till certain age and if things don’t improve end my life (not in a suicidal mood right now). And I don’t see the point talking about the people who doesn’t understand and judge and cut you off from their life. I haven’t met no one with the same condition and maybe that’s why i write to you, I see a lot of me when I read your webpage.
You have given me the hope and desire to keep searching for answers. I new the last 3 years of celexa,in and out with a script in my hand wasnt doing the trick. Now i can be informed when telling my dr. We need to reevaluate my meds and symtoms.
Thank you. Please keep searching and informing
hi i am very happy to have found your site, i have a 24yr old son who has been diagnosed with this condition. He was a shy but happy child and i thought he was just becoming more introverted as he got older. I felt he just wasn’t interested in todays crazy world, and i didn’t blame him. He is the oldest of 5 kids and i had him fully vaccinated. I found information as the years went by and didn’t vaccinate his brothers and sisters, they have been fine so far. I wonder at all the poisons and toxins in our water and food and environment in general and believe it has to affect us all in different ways, perhaps vaccination breaks down neurological pathways and immune responses. His father also appears to have a similar condition, I don’t know if he’s on medication. They are also very artistic people and gentle. I’d like some answers too as the doc just insists anti-depressants are the only way.
