Cophg is not curing, but something that helps you through the rough times. This can include things like watching your favorite comedian to playing with a pet (or three depending on how many you have). . However, more things can help you through I was in therapy for almost two years before I agreed to try an antidepressant. I was very hesitant to try pills. Let's face it pills are for diseases of the body, and my problem was in my head. I was so wrong. Antidepressants help considerably if you find the right one. It is a process of trying one, waiting a few weeks to see if the results are good, and if not trying another. This may seem like it is not worth it, but it is.
I have been on several different kinds, but I was lucky and found a good one. For me, I felt better, but not extremely good. It took yet another pill added to my antidepressant, to make me feel like a real human being. The other pill changed my life. It is a booster to the original medication and it works well. Oh, I still have moments of depression, sometimes for a day or two at a time, but I get through them with less difficulty and come out of them more quickly. If you haven't tried an antidepressant, you might want to consider it. Giving the pills a shot won't hurt you. If the results are good the first time tell your doctor and try a different one. Don't get me wrong they do not cure depression. What they do is lighten the feeling. I'm not a doctor, but if antidepressants have been suggested to you by a professional I suggest you try them.
Depression comes with accompanying problems. Many, I'm told, who suffer from depression whether situational or major depressive disorder also suffer from anxiety and those attacks can be complicated. My antidepressant also helps keep the anxiety down. There are separate medications for that if needed..
Don't be hesitant to take your provider's advice. You might find your world lightening up.
