A member asked:

I think i'm depressed and i don't know what to do but if i tell anyone they'll think i'm just wanting attention and it's not?

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.
