Review and evaluate: You can probably benefit from seeing a mental health professional soon who can perform a mental status exam (mse)--a series of questions to review your symptoms and help determine if your symptoms fit a depression diagnosis of some sort e.G, adjustment disorder versus major depression or other issues that may relate to depression and/or be referred for additional help e.g., a physician.
