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.

Therapy helps: Therapy helps, if you want it and are willing to work on your problems. If you are feeling depressed, why not talk to someone who is trained to help? Go with an open mind and a willingness to talk about any and all problems that are bothering you. They can help you figure out why you are unhappy with work and start moving towards a new career. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Career: Talking to a counselor will help. You can explore your current career, why you chose it (or not), and what your heart's desire is. It is so important to do what we are happy doing....our health improves when we feel like our life has purpose and meaning, and we can become depressed when we don't feel this is the case. Good luck!
