Dealing with depression

If you feel incapable of moving off the couch; if you’re not sleeping well or your eating habits have changed; if you feel sad most of the time, it’s hard to concentrate, and you’re noticing your body doesn’t feel well, you may be depressed. First get a physical to rule out any treatable underlying condition.
If you get a clean bill of health and still feel really lethargic, it’s time to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. Depression is the most common and untreated illness in our world, and that’s literally a crying shame because it is a very treatable condition. Medication and talk therapy can change your life and give you back the person you used to be.
