How Can Depression Be Treated?

I am 63 and male, and feel unmotivated to do just about anything. Even fun things. Should I get some kind of counseling? There have never been any drug issues. I don t smoke. I am a creative person with a technology background. I want to invent (yes, I have ideas)... but, I guess I want to be a part of a team rather than do it alone. I stop before I really start working on the ideas. This has been going on for a long long time.

Hello
Yes, this could be signs of depression.
You should meet and discuss your problems with a counsellor. Better to get treatment early rather than waiting for problem to become severe.
Thanks
