A member asked:
Can you tell me what number of days do a major depressive episode usually last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Major depressive: disorder events can last longer than days but are treatable. Please seek professional help. A combo of cognitive behavioral therapy or other therapy and often medication can be very helpful. Sorry you are dealing w/this. Do you exercise and eat well? I respect the fact that motivation is probably low but take baby steps. Peace and good health.
