For your age this is a significant development and must be attended to immediately. While the moods swings together with depression is of specific concern, you will need to follow certain regimen to keep yourself healthy. At this age, your hormones will have a spurt in production which can compound the effects. Please go with yoru parents and meet a psychiatrist and also a counselor. Please comply with all the medical prescriptions and work in tandem with a counselor for a long time and learn coping skills and techniques to handle the daily challenges you will face. There are certain adaptations that will suit you during the elation phase and there are certain behaviors that are required during the depressed phases. In the meantime you can do certain things that will give you benefits anyway. Emotional therapy will alleviate a lot of the problems faced in this condition because it is a mood disorder. You need to particularly look at your levels of anger both for its reasonableness and to express it in appropriate manner. I suspect that much of this anger may have origins in early childhood that you may never be aware of now. Talk to your parents and explore that angle. This information will help the counselor too. Also you will need to check whether there is any genetic factor involved. You must exercise regularly, eat healthily and sleep normally too. If your motivation and cooperation is good much can be achieved. You must have a time-structured schedule filled with interesting and reasonable activities and it must be monitored for compliance and delivery. The reason I say this is that many times you will be inclined to have grandiose notions and confidently believe that you can do without the medication. This will set you back many months in the treatment and delay and sabotage the recovery: forewarned you are forearmed. If this combination of medication with therapy is maintained for at least three years without any episodes or breakdowns, it is possible to taper the medication in consonance with the doctor. Since you are still very young, the prognosis or changeability is very good, if you start early and in real earnest.

Causes and Symptoms of Depression Physical inactivity or hyperactivity. Insomnia or sleeping too much. Poor or an increased appetite. Weight loss or weight gain. Decreased interest in pleasurable activities, like sex. Decreased energy and fatigue. Feelings of guilt. Worthlessness, pessimism, and hopelessness. Another remedy that can bottle things up, but reacts quite differently to the Ignatia patient is Natrum muriaticum. This is one of my most frequently used homeopathic treatments for symptoms of stress, such as those typified by mild depression.
