It depends on the depression there are different types of depression.. Clinicial depression is the most serious- This is when a person function - they can't do day to day activities such as shopping- going to work- manage a house- not sleeping- changes in appetite the list is endless- Generally when this is prolonged medicine might be prescribed.
Then there is depression when a person is going through a bad time and generally it doesn't last longer than two weeks- talking with a doctor- psychologist or counsellor could be just as effective.
Im a trainee psychologist and the best advice I would give anyone is to the doctor- there are tests that the doctor can do to measure the depression and point you in the right direction ...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...so thank you for that!... TRY to be original going forward... its a real turn off when a guy repeats what u just said...
Night night think u should get some beauty sleep...
RE: Do you think Prescribed Medication helps with Depression ?
Good point- Its just a way sometimes to block out the pain.
