Depression
Is depression curable? How is it treated? Can it really make life better?
I have posted about my problem before, one psycologist replied that i have symptons of depression and need to consult a psycologist. I really want to get cured, because my behaviour is affecting my career as well as my social life. I have started to feel like I am worthless. I don't know what to do. I used to be an active person. Now I don't want to do anything. I am having this for long time. Now I want to end this. Help

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.
