I did have a hard childhood where kid always tormented me. Thay use to make fun of me and I would cry etc. But some how I am this normal guy now But I do still feel that.....

Answer 1

I do not know if this is true, but I would seek a second opinion. This social worker seems to have a psychoanalytic orientation, not usually the most effective for treating depression. Seek out a therapist trained in another treatment form, look for Cognitive-Behavioral or a blended approach. Also, if you want meds, contact a Psychiatrist, they are best for these types of meds, but if the waiting list is long, try seeing your normal doctor until you can get an appointment. A therapist that can help will not tell you why you are depressed, but rather work with you to find a way not to be depressed.

Answer 2

I cannot guarantee this will work but it did for me.

I was severely depressed for 7 years, my Dr finally ran a Thyroid test and learned mine was under functioning. That will cause depression.
In one month I was back to normal after 7 long years of thinking of suicide nearly constantly.
Get on some good multivitamins with iron and plenty of B complex vitamins, this too might help to get you healthy.
It certainly can't hurt to give it a try. It might just work.

Good Luck and God Bless.

Control your emotions and you can control your life...
What angers you conquers you.....
If it is not just in your head, it might be you are not balanced inside... See a real Doctor about it....
The answers are always inside you..
