Thread: Am i depressed?

Hi there, it sounds like you may have a chemical imbalance that is causing your depression symptoms. I have struggled with depression for most of my life, until I talked with my doctor and got medication for it. Now I feel like myself again! I would highly suggest that you do this, your doctor may also recommend seeing a therapist. This is not your fault, it's a chemical imbalance in your brain (called serotonin) that makes you feel hopelessness and lose interest in things that you normally enjoy. There are many medications out there that treat depression, it may take a while before you find the one that works for you without side-effects. Good luck, and hang in there.
