I need help for depression what should i do?

Talk to Physician: If you have a regular physician a good first step is to talk to him/her about how you feel. If you have to wait too long for an appointment you could ask that office to refer you to someone to evaluate your situation. It might also be helpful to talk to people close to you to see if they know of someone you could see for an evaluation. The important thing is to start the process of seeking help.

It depends: It makes a difference how severe of a depressed mood you have, as well as other factors such as a problem with sleep, appetite, problems feeling guilty and with concentration and low energy levels. Major depression responds well to antidepressant medication management. Some folks feel "blue" or down, especially from stressful life situation, but don't have major depression.

Therapy helps: Therapy helps, if you want it and are willing to work on your problems. If you are feeling depressed, why not talk to someone who is trained to help? Go with an open mind and a willingness to talk about any and all problems that are bothering you. Medications can also help your therapist will help u decide if a trial on medication makes sense. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Your Dr can assess: Or mood disorder ; underlying medical conditions that may be causing symptoms.
