Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I've read descriptions of depression and I recognize some symptoms in myself but I'm not so drastic that I can't get out of bed. I just seem to slow down and fizzle out each day. I experience low feelings, more so than I used to. How can I know if it's mild depression? Is there such a thing and what's the treatment that's not involving drugs?
hi dear, for depression to diagnose there certain criteria are there and for that you should consult psychiatrist. sometimes when any stress comes in life feeling of depression is there and it is temporary. there are other method except medication to overcome depression. like psychotherapy also do yoga, exercise meditation etc thank you
