A member asked:

What can be done to stop losing this battle with depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Effort: With the many medications available, it should be possible to relieve many if not all of your symptoms. However, to eliminate the cause one must diligently engage in psychotherapy. This is not easy. It requires effort and determination.
