Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I just can't stop crying and I never want to do anything that I used to like doing before..I've just got the dr to adjust my meds to up them yesterday but I am trying to figure out if I need to talk to a therapist???

maybe it would help to talk to someone like a therapist

meds alone won't bring relief from depression, but in partnership with therapy, you can beat depression

thanks for the advice I guess I will try to find out how to talk to a therapist then

You have the best chance of beating depression by talking to a therapist in addition to your taking your meds.

It's a really scary time when you can't stop crying.I began seeing a psychologist (as well as increasing meds and adding new ones.) I found it really helpful talking to someone experienced who can work out why I'm crying. Hang in there-it WILL stop

i think its a good idea having a therapist as well as the meds. i couldn't have got through without either

I agree. Get in touch with a therapist and hang in there. It does pass. It's not easy. Talk to someone you trust about it if you can.

Its a really scary time- but a therapist will help you get to the bottom of things. What happens when you come off the medication or become immune to it? You will revert back if you havent resolved your feelings and understanding of how you got into the depression in the first place. That's what my doctor adviced anyway!
