Depression question..?!


Question:

Depression question..?

for the past month i have felt uninterested and depressed. ive checked online and i fit most of the symptoms (fatique, loss of interest, significant weight/appitite change, hopelessness). how do i know whether i am suffering from depression and need help, or am just "in a rut" so to speak?
i'm not looking for a diagnosis, i just want some opinions. thanks a bunch.


Answers:

You have enough symptoms to take it seriously, at least consult with your primary care doctor. It's summer, so it's probably not seasonal. It can also come and go with your monthly cycle or other hormonal changes. It's a chemical imbalance, you're not crazy, I've seen medication work wonders on depression in friends and family. Meanwhile also eat regularly and healthy, and get exercise (that's all I personally need to get out of funks like that).
