Hello So leigheas: One of the hallmarks of major depression is withdrawing from the various aspects of life. And it can be a danger signal with regard to the potential for suicide as well. So I would say yes. It would be a wise choice to reach out for help in some way or another. Going to the hospital may be one way of doing this. Another might be to contact your psychiatrist first if you have one. You could also start by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255). However you choose to proceed, the important thing here is to not allow yourself to continue to withdraw. Reach out for help... now...
