Anti-Depressants, Could It Be A Brain/hormonal Thing ?

I have tried counselling and everything my doctors and counsellors have suggested, but I am increasingly irritable, down and easily angered. I feel the same as I did when I was diagnosed with depression, but nothing significant has happened to make me feel that way. I was wondering, could it be a brain/hormonal thing? And if so, are anti-depressants the way to go seeing as I've tried everything and nothing seems to work ?

If you have seen various doctors, you must undergone tests for hormones too,have you?
Depression is a common condition these days,and perfectly managable. You can seek help from a dr of alternative therapy ,like Homoeopathy, which can help you out gently and safely.

Hi.. Hormone dysfunctions such as hypothyroidism are known to cause mood dysfunctions and depressions.. Discuss with your doctors who are treating you, if they consider these as the possible causes for the symptoms..
