Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Assessment.: It would be good to clarify it you just have a depressed mood or if you suffer from a depressive disorder. A clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist can evaluate you to help figure out what is going on. After that, you and your doctor can work on a treatment plan that will address your needs. Take care.
