Get help: If you feel completely depressed, it's time to get help. You can start with your own physician for a thorough checkup looking for any illnesses that can look like depression or worsen it. Then you can work in psychotherapy with a psychologist, plus consult with a psychiatrist for medications if necessary. Effective treatment is possible and you can feel better! don't wait.

Agree w Dr. Pappas: Your Dr can assess for mood disorder & causative underlying medical conditions. Talking therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy) is allows for lasting change. Psychiatric meds may be indicated. Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Get at least 8 hrs of sleep/ night & eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +.
