Evaluation first: If feeling very depressed, you need an evaluation with a psychiatrist. This includes your entire history, family history, and any medical illnesses you have. You need a checkup with your family doctor too. The best treatment for depression is often a combination of medications and psychotherapy -- while on your own you're also working on your diet, exercise, and connections with others.
