Did anyone seek professional help for severe depression? If so, did it help?

Question

I've been struggling with severe depression since my dad passed away with a horrible fight with cancer. I've been in therapy since he was diagnosed. (10/2012) But I also became prevent a month before he passed away. I'm not suicidal, but I am definitely both physically and mentally exhausted from feeling this way.

Answer

I take medication and go to therapy and it has changed my life. I can't stress enough how important it is to get help. You deserve to go about your life without the weight of depression!

Answer

Are you on any medication? Therapy can be wonderful but if you're chemically not where you need to be it's much harder to get through things. 
Situational depression is different from major depressive disorder, but MDD can develop from extended situational depression.
