Anxiety ; depression: Sorry you are feeling badly. The good news is that effective treatments are available. You can start by seeing your family doctor for a general health exam, since certain medical conditions can seem like depression. Psychiatrists and psychologists are able to provide definitive treatment. Psychotherapy can certainly help, and medications may also be of use.
