Specializes in Pediatrics - Psychiatry

Let's figure it out: Sorry you're feeling depressed. Possible contributing factors include life stressors, medical conditions, phase of life and your family history. You can try to sort it out by talking to someone. Things usually get better but there's no need to live in sadness any longer than you necessary.
