(4,527 posts)I suffered from depression since childhood. I finally got the courage to go to a psychologist, then psychiatrist. I was put on anti-depressants. My life turned around. Once I felt better, after taking them for a few months, I'd wean myself off of them. But as soon as I felt the depression coming on, I'd go to the doctor, explain my history and get my prescription. This cycle went on for years until I didn't need them anymore. I am now happy and healthy. It's been many, many years since I've needed them. Don't do what I did without approval from your doctor, though.
There can be physical causes of depression, as mine was. My brain nerve synopsis wasn't working, transmitting and receiving as they should. I don't know how to really explain it, but I want you to know there is hope to get back to living a happy, fullfilled life.
Now, if you're depressed due to the world condition. it is understandable. Try to step away from too much news. Count your blessings and love your kitties. We care about you.
