Depression: If depression is what you have, there are many effective treatments including psychotherapies and medications. Also there are lifestyle changes: consistent aerobic exercise; healthy diet (veggies, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats, etc -- no processed foods!); connecting with others; spiritual practice; etc. Help is available with your doctor if you'd like it. Evaluation 1st, though.

GET YOUR LIFE BACK: Medical therapy (meds or transcranial magnetic stimulation, tms)can treat the underlying dysregulation of your stress response that is responsible for your illness. Tms actually is physical therapy for the brain and heals the episode you are in! medications usually are needed to prevent future episodes, but the amounts are usually decreased after tms.
