Dont be afraid: Go get help.They will examine you and speak to you and if you need to be go get admitted.However most depression can be treated as outpatient so. Do not be afraid.

Agree with Dr. K: There are effective treatments for depression and you should not hesitate to see your doctor. You can help yourself by exercising regularly.

Find a life coach: Many encounter life events which we don't have the skills to overcome.You would not try to fix your broken leg alone & you should not try to do this either.Find a life coach/therapist to explore the issues involved & learn the skills you need to get past this. Hospitalization is seldom a 1st choice for care.Your regular doc should know someone you can talk with. Do the work & life will get better

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