Hi... Pls answer following questions:
1. Who diagnosed you with Depression?
2. How many Counselling Sessions have you taken
from a Psychologist?
3. Elaborate more on intensity and frequency
of your suicidal ideations?
Such a diagnosis must come from a Psychiatrist ideally. Treatment of Depression requires Psychotherapy/Counselling/CBT and/or Medications (anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic). The prognosis may take sometime but roughly the treatment goes on for an year or two, when Counselling Sessions are happening on Weekly basis and Medication is continuing as per Psychiatric Consultation. I have treated several such cases, recovery process may vary from cases to case basis. But the conditions does becomes manageable after 15- 20 Sessions in most cases.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist for Counselling and Psychiatrist for Medication, if necessary.
