Dr. Grant Boyer answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

See a psychologist: Visit with a mental health professional who can accurately diagnose and then treat your symptoms. Do not rely on "good advice" but submit to a deeper level of care (talk therapy and meds are probably indicated) if in fact you have depression.
