Depression

2019-10-24 10:17:17
I feel sad and hopeless all the time. Sometimes I manage to overcome these but again I go back. I can see I've increased smoking and other addictive substances. There's a lot that has been going on and I feel suicidal. I don't want to talk to anyone, and I've distanced myself from my friends. I don't find the things interesting anymore which I once used to. I want to recover everything and have a normal life. I don't know whether I should consult a Psychologist or a Psychiatrist. Please help me.
