If you have: severe depression - it is really important that you work aggressively to get rid of it. That means talking to your physician/ psychiatrist about your medications and getting involved in psychotherapy. Asking doctors on the internet what you should do next, isn't the way to go. Commit to getting well.

It is best to discuss this with your Psychiatrist who knows your medical history. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Please have a physical exam to know if these symptoms are due to an illness. If not please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to evaluate your problems and help you.
