If you are depressed all of the time and don?t know why, then you need to seek medical care and see if you can find a way to get to the bottom of your condition which could be something serious such as depression.
Depression strikes more women than men and is often a series of rapid cycling into mania and the deepest and darkest elements of depression. What makes matters worse is that people don?t realize why they are depressed and because they can?t seem to pin point it then they simply push it aside and accept it enabling the depression to get the upper hand in the depressed individual?s life.
While you may want to understand why you are depressed, it may be more important to recognize that you have a deeper problem such as depression which is causing you to lose valuable time from work while missing out on a great number of life and family events.
Once you are diagnosed for your depression, you will find that the medication for depression will be helpful but not always right off the bat or with immediate gratifying results. Depression will take a while to control.
Taking an active part in your depression treatment is essential in order for you to realize success and you should seek support from a spouse or family members so that you will always be in control of your bipolar disorder or your depression. While it is important to talk to therapist and psychologists, it is also very important to find the right person to confide in that you know and trust. If you don?t have a trusted friend, then maybe you should consider joining a support group which will enable you to talk freely about your depression. While you may not realize it right off the bat, you likely have a larger support group in your home and you need to use your family to help you get your life back on track.
