Answers:
Hey, I have been there, done that!.!.!. still do it!.!. still suffer!.
First of all, it does get better!. I swear it does!. Even if you did nothing it would still get better!.
Here is what I have found to help!. The first thing is recognizing that something is not working!. You have done that!.
The second thing is asking for help!.
You have done that as well!.
Now comes the rest!.
You have asked for help, like I said, that is a good thing!. Reaching out to others who have the same hardships lets you know you are not alone in this!. For some people that is enough to get them through!.
For the rest of us, we need a little more help!. The next step is to talk to a professional!. A Social Worker, Psycologist or a Psychiatrist!. Just be honest with them!. (for instance, if you have fantasies of killing yourself or others, let them know that!.!. that kinda thing is fairly normal!.)
The thing that I have most found to help me is just the simple act of seeking help!. Just trying to feel better, helps me to feel better!.
I hope this works for you as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should go to your doctor!. If the doctor tries you on meds that don't work, go back and tell the doctor that they aren't working and get something else!. Ask the doctor if the meds come in generic!.
One thing that really helps me, is getting outside in the sun!. I make a big glass of iced tea and just go sit on the porch and listen to the wind chimes!. Sometimes I will sit out there and whistle, heh, it is hard to be depressed when you are whistling and have a glass of tea!.
Take care

to overcome depression the most important thing to do, divert yourself from reallity!.
when you have low self-esteem its hard to belive in yourself!.
therefore you have to focus on others and other things, that keep you level mentally, do what ever it takes to live a life that revolves around things that keep your mind off your problems!.
this may seem like a rant, but if i had not done this, i would not be here today, and its still hard to try and write this out and (or) explain itWww@Answer-Health@Com

First, there are some who believe depression is related to the chemicals we add to our bodies that conflict with our natural body chemicals!. You can't "make yourself happy" if your brain is out of balance!. Check for these things that may be causing it: caffeine (pop, tea, coffee, chocolate, some pain killers), perfumes/fragrances (in shampoos, lotions, soaps, CAT LITTER! etc!.) of any kind, aged cheeses, mold (in your home), other chemicals for instance, if you drive a freeway long distances, junk food in general with the preservatives and pesticides, other habits: smoking, drugs, alcohol!. These chemicals can mess with your brain causing depression!. Is there any pattern of these that corresponds to your pattern of depression!?
I used to have a problem with caffeine!. Doctors told me I was "just depressed" but nothing helped!. I ended up by chance reading a book about caffeine and some of these above mentioned products!. I no longer experience any depression UNLESS I drink or eat something with caffeine!. With the coffee addicts worldwide, it doesn't surprise me depression is an epidemic!. Perfume is another one that messes with my head!. These might not be the answers for you, but it's worth a check!Www@Answer-Health@Com
