I am not a doctor, but I DO have experience with depression from Both sides of the desk! I have been a clinical social worker and counseled a lot of people with depression...I have also suffered from depression myself since I was in my teens. If I can answer any questions or help anyone here, just holler!!! I am currently 53yr.old and now feel better than I ever have! There IS a life outside the "black hole"!! You CAN get there too!! ((Hugs))to all and let me know if I can help!
