Depression since I was 3 years old... will it ever go away?!


Question:

Depression since I was 3 years old... will it ever go away?

I've been told by my mom that I have been in depression since I was 3 years old ( a doctor told her I had depression) because of my dad's death and since then... seems like I always been in depression. When I was arround 13, I attempted suicide ( I thank god everyday that it didnt work) then got some mental health care. And about a month after, I was free to go. I really think it didnt fix the problem... I dont feel like suiciding because I know that I want to live... but I dont enjoy life. Is there any way time fix this?


Answers:

Yes, time helps (especially if you're still a teenager; things DO get better. Being a teenager is, in my opinion, exceptionally hard), but you probably need extensive councelling with someone who will truly listen to you. You most likely have feelings of emptiness and loss, perhaps some anger and self esteem problems as well. A good councellor can help you re-write the script of your life in order to find peace with your past and happiness and contentment with your present - and hopefully excitement for the possibilities of the future.
