A member asked:
What is the medical cause of sudden depression? i know its related to serotonin deficiency but is there a reason for it happening so suddenly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DEPRESSION: Get an evaluation from a psychiatrist to help identify what depression means to you and whatever else may be bothering you. Consider recommendations for medication if any are given. Get a referral for a reputable psychotherapist to speak with. Meds and therapy combined are most optimal; no just one or the other.
