How to be screened for depression
It made me
discouraged. 
"i was finally screened and diagnosed with depression, but have i really made any progress?"
How I did it: i've seen 2 doctors and been on 4 different meds and have yet to see any real results. my first doc told me i basically had to learn to live with side effects like being aggressive towards others and constantly feeling exhausted. i saw minimal positive results and one med even gave me a head-to-toe body rash. how is any of this any better than living with the depression itself? all in all, it's been completely discouraging.
Lessons & tips: find a doctor that you really like, who actually listens and understands. be prepared to for the possibility of having to go through a trial and error period while you and your doctor try to find the right drug for your unique body chemistry.
