Should A Doctor Be Consulted For Feeling Low And Depressed All The Time?

I'm feeling really upset all the time, I think I may have depression, I'm low all the time, I've lost interest in my boyfriend and my friends, and I can't seem to concentrate in school. Do I go to my gp and tell him this, and will he give me anti-depressants? I'm really nervous and I feel silly, but I can't go on feeling this upset

Psychiatrist,  's  Response

If u have depressive feeling, then u should consult a psychiatrist. All cases dont need antidepressants. in case of mild depression, u could improve with Cognitive behavioral therapy that would be done by psychologist. If u have moderate to severe depression, in that u need drugs. i think i should consult psychiatrist as soon as possible. In future if u need our help, u r here to help u.

Thanks
