Several: See your family doctor first for a general health evaluation. Some medical illnesses may present with depressive symptoms, and can complicate your outcome even if they aren't completely responsible for your depression. A psychiatrist can fully assess your condition, and prescribe helpful medications to manage symptoms. Psychotherapy is an essential part of treatment for depression also.
