Is he/she diabetic? The fact that one is diabetic is very depressive, I had the feeling when I was diagnosed & was had to take diabetic meds, it could happen, one gets over with it in due course of time as one has no choice but to control this ailment, hoe he/she comes out of depression & anxiety, world stats show diabetes is on the increase not because of sugar intake but our eating & living habits which has changed drastically over the years, best of luck, & I wish him/her all the best!

Depression is something we all have.
Where it gets to be a problem, is when we get locked into it. in that case we need medical help.
You would be surprised to know how many people are on some type of depression medicines. some people mite need it for a short time, while others will be on it for life.
You can be depressed for a short time if you have Diabetes, because it's a life changing thing. You start out as type 2 which is the mild form to type 1 witch is the extreme form. There is no cure, and it can kill you.
It's a thing you learn to live with.

Hi there Maso! I have a feeling the questioner IS the healthcare provider. Maybe a clinical psychologist. My youngest has her Masters in this area and is also working on her Doctorate. Never received a grade below an A. Sorry, needed to brag about my kid for a moment. Hope you don't mind.
Have a nice holiday!

Oh I for got! You're in Peru. Have a nice weekend anyway!
First I am aslo proud of your daughter (maybe she can treat me!!! )... your are not bragging... that is just the way it is ... congrats, you also have a nice Holiday.
A bit of input (in the best way intenteded)... I am not in Peru. Do not get we wrong I have, nor will ever be a racist at all, I am in Chile and therefore I am Chilean... down here we have always have had disputes over nothing or somthing with Peruvians... some have migrated to Chile... mafia type, and as you know they are considered to be the second largest producers and distributors of cocaine... so for some years now, we do have a corrupt legal and police system, they have managed to spread this desease among our society... so here in Chile they are not very likeable. I thought you should know... since we are friends, I am not offended in anyway whatsoever my Darling.
All my best wishes for you and your family have a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! and FOR AL US CITIZENS!
Oops! Chile, sorry if I offended you. I didn't realize their was such a feud between the 2 countries. I need to brush up on my cultural and political homework. And I am sure my daughter would love to help you. Early on, her main interest was studying the effects of certain substances on the brain. She wanted to see if there was a connection between mdma and the early onset of Parkinson disease. Don't laugh, she was very serious about this. But then she decided she enjoyed working with people rather than in a lab. She is such a people person! Figured if she could fix her family, she could fix anybody! She's still working on her mom so you'll have to wait your turn! lol (:--)
I told you no offense taken at all... I´ll wait for my turn... I bet you must be so proud of her... and you should be ... she deserves it!
All the best oyur friend,
