I am dealing with exceptionally horrific and long lasting effects of a brain injury. I used to be very depressed before this when I had a great job and my health. WHAT was I thinking. I know depression is a genetic thing, so it is not as easy as 123 to get rid of it but TRY to be thankful that you are not sick, as I couldn't have imagined how much worse it could get. See a good psychiatrist and take medications as prescribed. And keep busy!!
