Self-diagnose Depression

If you believe you are depressed, you should speak with a doctor or mental health professional.

^ Absolutely. Do NOT try to handle it yourself, if you think you may be experiencing symptoms of depression, you need to talk to your healthcare provider about it, and you should also confide in a close family member or friend whom you trust...especially if you start on any medications. The first two weeks to a month after starting a new antidepressant medication can sometimes make the symptoms worse before it starts to work properly and you should ALWAYS have someone checking up on you, just in case this side effect occurs. Make sure your provider follows up also.
