Depression: There are some very good and effective antidepressant mess. Speak to your doc about them. They usually take four to six weeks to take full effect. You should also find a therapist nearby who you can work with. There are many "styles" of therapy and what's right for you might not be for someone else. Good luck. Be well.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Treatment Works: Depression is a very painful & distressing condition. There are various types of depression . The good news is that it is a treatable condition. Medication or therapy , frequently in combination can be very helpful. Be aware that sometimes when a person is depressed they may feel like giving up & even be suicidal. If this is the case you need to talk to a professional immediately & can call 911.

Definitely see a: psychiatrist. You may need meds, therapy and more that only a mental health pro can assess. Sounds like you are in distress, so do this quickly, as treatment frequently takes time to provide relief. If you feel suicidal, go to the nearest ER STAT. Try to not be alone during the next couple of weeks while you get things in order...
