i dont know if this is in thhe right place or not so sorry if its not...but here goes
ive just been diagnosed with depression, but because of my age and my depression score ( i had to do a questionnaire for them to work out how bad the depression is ) i need to wait to see a psychiatrist (sp?), which ill be seeing within the next 2 weeks. so he/she will decide on the medication which is best suitable as it increases the chances of suicide or something like that.
Does anyone know what other ways there are in the meantime to try and boost my mood? Im drinking alot and other stupid things to try block out / cope.
Any advice from the older members or anyone who has suffered from depression and could give advice on how they overcame it would be really appreciated. x
