Depression is a medical condition, not a weakness or a mood you can will away. It's common and treatable. The care plan usually combines therapy, support, and sometimes medication — and most people get meaningfully better with the right help.
Your first steps
- →Take the diagnosis and any recommendations in writing, including a safety plan if one was discussed.
- →Get connected to a therapist and confirm who to call between appointments.
- →Save the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) somewhere you'll find it fast.
Questions to ask your care team
- ?What treatment do you recommend to start, and how will we measure progress?
- ?How soon should we follow up, and who do we contact if things get worse?
- ?Are there medication side effects we should watch for early on?
