Anyone have experience with depression? What helped you?
I have a strong family Hx and have intermittently had mild-moderate depression over the years. Recently though I have suffered "severe" clinical depression. First, I tried exercise. Then I tried a clinical psychologist. Now I think I am heading to medication, as I am just unable to function right now. It's so hard to explain to people what is wrong, or why you don't just "cheer up". I would if I could!
Before anyone asks, I am in a corporate job and not a patient care area right now, so fitness to work is not an issue.
I am really just looking for people that have overcome depression and methods they found useful.
