Certainly! Seek out an experienced psychologist who can make a diagnosis and assessment of the particular kind of depression you are experiencing. Many types of depression are treated with various types of talk therapy alone. Others require an additional medical component, usually an antidepressant prescribed by a psychiatrist, which supplements the work with the psychologist. And there are more biologically-based depressions which are best treated by combinations of medications. The psychologist will be able to distinguish among these types, and refer you as appropriate. It is great that you are going so early – two weeks feels terrible, but many people don’t go for help for months!
Good luck!

Professionally it is stated that one generally should have 5 depression symptoms most days for at least 2 weeks including a depressed mood, or loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, of course this can vary. It is important to explore any possible variable that could elicit the changes in your mood. Yes, psychotherapy can help you with this process and discuss strategies for coping with the feelings you are experiencing. You can also write down or journal your thoughts to help you see any patterns and to try to let go of negative thoughts if you are experiencing them and this can also be shared in therapy as well. Sending you good wishes in this process. Diane Bridgeman, Ph.D,
