GP: Visit your GP promptly. Be honest and say exactly how you feel! Depression is not unusual and your GP can provide support, referral to counselling and psychotherapy, or medication. Ensure that you understand your treatment, take medication exactly as prescribed, and if you are unsure or don't feel you're getting better, go back again. Cognitive behaviour therapy or psychotherapy can be useful alone or in combination with drug treatment. It can help you to understand why and how you feel as you do, and can help you develop strategies that might help. You can access a therapist via your GP or YANA. Funding is available. |
