Hi,
I'm glad to help. If conservative measures mentioned above do not work, evaluation by your doctor and medications may then be indicated.  Stay healthy and positive. Take care always.

Hi,
How are you? About 2 in 3 adults have depression at some time in their life and women tend to develop depression more often than men.  One factor is a chemical imbalance in the brain  and may also be seen after giving birth or menopause. The good thing about this is it responds to medications/ antidepressant, counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and interpersonal and dynamic therapies. A   self-help group in your locality or from the Internet may help. It may be enough to talk things over with a relative or friend. Get some regular exercise, eat well, relax, and do your favorite activities. Take care and do keep us posted.
