CBT: Please consult a psycho therapist and ask about CBT ( cognitive behavioral therapy )- exceptionally effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety.

Sounds like you: recognize your problem and are willing to face it heads on. Not knowing the details, I would recommend that you see a psychologist to discuss your issues to find a way to cope with them. Having a good psychologist can really help deal with the roots of the problem, not just masking them by taking anti-depressants. Use meds only if you are done with real issues and you are still depressed.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or 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.

If you are to the: point of considering meds, go to a psychiatrist--the best trained to prescribe this class of drugs. I assume you have tried psychotherapy, diet and sleep and exercise approaches? Need a history and description of the severity of your sx's to say more.

Depression: Warrants an evaluation so that you can begin treatment . Usually, treatment is with meds in part, but typically therapy along with meds works better than either one alone. Groups may be an option as well. That is something you could discuss with your provider. If you’re feeling as though you’re a danger to yourself, call 911, present to nearest ER/urgent care immediately. Good luck!
