I agree with Dr Arun and Dr Chetan has told you, once the stage of depression is identified, one can decide wther you are psychic neurotic or border line case
I f neurotic u can be treated only without drugs teaching few mind exercises

Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately.
Try some relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and deep breathing. Indulge in hobbies. Spend time with people close to you.
