Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Behavioral therapy, counselling sessions etc are important along with drugs to counteract depression.
So better to consult psychotherapist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Additional mood elevators (lithium) are also beneficial in some cases.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
