I suffered from depression one month ago but with the help of my family and my psychiatrist I came out of the depression now I am OK but I am fearing about my self that I am going to depression again. So please give me a good suggestion to prevent my depression. Really depression is dangerous I don't want to feel that again and again 5 years back also I suffered from depression and I tried to kill myself. My age is 19 years.

Dear lybrate-user, Probably you are suffering from Recurrent Depressive Disorder. That is why you are suffering again and again. But you know that, it is treatable. You will be OK with treatment. You have the support of family and psychiatrist. It is a big asset for you. Early detection and prompt treatment is the 'mantra' for you. Please do not postpone taking treatment, thinking that if you sleep well, you will be alright or only because of an event you are depressed. Even if you are NOT into another episode of depression, it is better to err on taking treatment than waiting. Antidepressant tablets take 2-3 weeks to start its action. Start early so that the depression will not go to the level of killing yourself. All the best.
