Am I depressed?!


Question:

Am I depressed?

Normally, I am a happy, upbeat person. However, During the last 6 months or so, I have been experiencing alot of the symptoms of depression. But, is it still depression if I know exactly why I am depressed, but circumstances prevent me from getting out of the situation that is causing me heartache? I know that if I got out of my current situation that I would be quite happy. So I am depressed, or have I hit a long term rough spot?


Answers:

you have what is known as situational depression. The problem with that is if you continue in the situation for long, the mind gets trapped in a spiral pattern and the situational depression can turn into clinical depression and you are stuck with treating it for the remainder of your life.
My advice, do whatever you have to, but get out of that situation.
