Do you feel you have been given enough help with your depression?

You need to find a different doctor. The few times I did go seek help, the ones I went to were very supportive and wanted to give me lots of help. I wanted to try to get on with my life. What I mean is the struggle I faced was when I hit depression heavy at 2 a.m. I am not about to call the shrink for help. But on a sunny friday afternoon I don't want to go to an appointment with a shrink, I want to have fun with my kids. That was my experience anyways. But if you change doctors they may be more willing to help you then these ones. I don't know about support groups in England, but maybe there may be something around there. Good Luck!

Maybe you should go to a different doctor. I had the same problem. It all depends on where you go and what you do and who you see I guess. I hope things get better for you. Good luck and stay happy!

Well I don't really know about places to go. You could check on mylot though for people starting discussions in depression, you may find some people to talk with. Their discussions might shed light on the subject as well. They may give you other insights on dealing with depression, medication and doctors.

If you don't trust them, it's better to find the other doctors.I also don't know where to find the useful places for you. Searching online is a fast way.

Hi there I think you need to change your doctor - its awful medical practice they should always advise you of counselling centres or helplines to call. They give out medication far too easy. I have the opposite problem my doctor always tried to get me to see a counsellor but I always refuse I prefer the medication oops.

Well i take it every weekend and at during festival months i never miss vacations, that my best depression relieving out of mechanical life.
