Depression: You can see your primary care physician first, for a thorough evaluation to find any other illnesses which might present as depression. If s/he does not find any of these, you can see a psychiatrist and/or psychologist for specific evaluation and treatment of your depression. Effective help is possible psychotherapy and medications as needed.

1-Lifestyle, 2-Meds: Lifestyle changes can be a powerful way to treat depression. Research shows that regular exercising (vigorously if your doctor approves) helps. Meditation has also been shown to help for some people. Psychotherapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, has been shown to help. There are many different antidepressant medications also - consult your doctor.
