when my depression was 1st dx'd i saw a psychologist who did cognitive therapy; talk and changing your thinking a bit.

then i started on meds. i've been thru at least 6 med switches in my life. it can take several tries until you find 1 that works for you. initially i saw a psychiatrist for the meds, then it was managed by my pcp. i con't with the psychologist and that therapy changed my life.

i owe him my sanity and the peaceful life i have now. i've been in the proverbial black hole and know what it's like. please also talk to your pcp. if your neuro isn't addressing this problem find someone else. don't give up. there is help for you. it will get better.

it also helped me to journal about my feelings.
please let us know how you are.
