Suffering from depression for 20 yrs. hand shakes so much that i cant even sign, write or hold cup of tea. need help to overcome it as soon as possibl?

Shaking hands are: not necessarily a sign of depression. Please see a neurologist to be evaluated for essential tremors. If you are diagnosed w/that condition, try to let go of the idea that it is part of depression. If you are also depressed please see a mental health professional. The book "Feeling Good" by David Burns may also be helpful. Peace and good health.
