Depression? Help!!: Hi i am sorry to hear you suffer from depression. Most family physicians are a good starting point to address your feelings and symptoms of depression. If you are worse than just simply depressed and are considering suicide please get to your nearest emergency room. Therapy is very valuable and a great tool to get past this phase of your life. Please do not be afraid of reaching out.

Why R you depressed?: If your depression is affecting your life and/or those around you and you have trouble dealing it or not knowing how to etc..It is very reasonable to seek help, either from a therapist, your physician/nurse, or both. Psychotherapy may be adequate for some, others may need both meds and therapy. There is no shame in getting help. Evryone needs help for something at times. Consult doc. Good luck.
