Depression: You're not the only one with the same problem. A couple of considerations - first, there's a chance it may not be just depression. Chances are it's more than depression. Secondly, if it is depression, it's not just about medication to treat it. There must be a comprehensive approach to it - psychotherapy, support group, etc. I find that people would rather take a pill without resolving the cause.

Many more questions: I am very sorry to hear this. I do not see a question here, but can assume that you wonder what to do next. If you were in my office your statement would lead to lots of discussion. Here are some questions. What alternative medicine or practices have you tried? Yoga? Meditation? Do you exercise? What is your family history in regards to this mental health issue? How is your sleep? Weight?
