Specializes in Family Medicine

Reactive depression: You appear to have reactive depression (to job and friend loss),..so Continue with the counselor, and you may need to see a Psychiatrist to get on meds. Eventually time will help this, and as you will hopefully get another job soon that too will help. Stay focused, stay well. See Doc. Best wishes.
