Hi Solsgal. You've come to the right place, as we have just the thing or you. If you look to the left at Tools, click on the Depression test. It's free. What's great about it is that you can *print* out the results and take them with you to your doctor's. That will break the ice and he'll take it from there.
This is my first time posting at this site. i've spent a lot of time reading on the subject of depression and all my research has me convinced that I am indeed suffering from depression. I've made an appointment to see my doctor in a couple of days, but as the appointment approaches I find myself feeling more nervous about it. I can feel all kinds of thoughts and questions running through my mind, like what if he thinks it isn't as bad as I think it is? what if he won't help me? how long will i have to wait before he helps me? logically i know he is a good doctor and will do his best to help me, but i can't lose this anxiety I'm having over the whole thing...help! I'm glad I happened upon this site. it has been very helpful in answering some of my questions and has satisfied my doubts, somewhat, that depression is what I may be facing. Thanks for allowing me to vent a little :)
