What are the steps for treating clinical depression?
I am a teenager who has clinical depression. What are the steps to treating it? Do I contact my local GP for a check-up or what? Thanks in advance. Sorry; I used the word ”clinical’ to differentiate between depression from a dead relative and depression that makes you feel suicidal. I am now aware I’ve used the wrong word to describe the illness. To those asking who diagnosed me: I self-diagnosed, comparing symptoms of depression found on the Internet to my personal experiences. A: Hi–I am also a teenager with depression (& anxiety). Yes, contacting your GP would be smart, but If you have a Psych department somewhere in your city, contacting them would probably be smarter. They are the ones that will actually help treat the depression. But I am a little confused though—how were you diagnosed with depression & not have any actions taken? Who diagnosed you??? Medications: Dozens of medications are available to treat depression. Most people find the best relief of depression symptoms
