Question: I need help. Where do I start. I am depressed, etc. Please only answer this if you have been in my shoes.?
Answers:
If your feelings of depression have been lasting longer than a month, your first step would be to talk to your primary physician about getting evaluated by a psychiatrist. If your feelings of depression have only been for a day or two, it could be related to stress, not enough sleep or even a change in seasons. Try to get outside and get some light physical activity like going for a walk during the day. Sunlight and physical activity can help trigger seratonin the mood elevating hormone.
