Get help: Depression is different from frustration, but people can be frustrated from lack of response to depression treatment. Seek an evaluation from a psychiatrist who can determine if you need meds with therapy. There are many different types of treatment both therapy and meds. It may take time to sort through what's right for you, but don't loose hope so soon.

Very depressed: Start with a medical evaluation to rule out medical causes of your symptoms. Medications are sometimes indicated. Talking therapy to include Cognitive Behavioral therapy or psychotherapy can be effective. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night & good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, Qi Gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing
