How To Overcome Depression And Self Esteem Problems?
I have taken many o the depression online tests and have always gotten a rating of moderate to severe depression. I don't want to talk to anyone about it because I have a hard time trusting people even a tiny bit. I also have major self-esteem problems. I feel like I'm not good enough especially when I compare myself to friends and family. What should I do?
I think, you need both medication and psychotherapy. In medication, you can try some antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram and in psychotherapy, you need cognitive behavioral therapy. You would consult a psychologist for CBT, that would help to overcome from the low self esteem. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
