  May I just add my 50 cents worth here. Make certain that your regular medical doctor has run every conceivable test on you to check your hormone levels, thyroid, and everything else. Also, check into the possibility of SAD (seasonal affective disorder) related to lack of sunlight in the winter or rainy months. Also, check your diets - visit WebMD - they have GREAT articles on different foods that can actually cause depression and those that help alleviate it , such as fish oil (improves brain function). Sometimes depression and other problems can actually be the result of allergies to foods and other substances. Become your best friend, your most attentive caretaker, and avail yourself of every single thing in the arsenal to fight back. There is SO much help available today from infinite sources. Give yourself the best possible chance you can to take charge of this condition - don't let it control you.
