    Should I seek help for my depression?

    Should I admit myself for depression? I am angry constantly and upset and feel like I just can't cope anymore.

    Don't think I'm ready to do any thing drastic yet but I know it's getting more often thought about.

    The earlier you seek help for your depression, the better. Do not wait until you feel like doing something drastic before seeking help. I encourage you to make an appointment with a GP to start with, to discuss treatment options. Your GP may refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist, or both, for treatment. Many people experience significant improvement in their mood relatively soon after starting treatment. 

    Best wishes for your treatment and recovery.
