    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder which Im told is the same as clinical depression. I have been seeing a therapist which my close friends encouraged me to do and isnt easy but does help. I have good days and bad. I havent always been this way which confuses me. It was situational Im told due to a verbally abusive relationship I got out of but took its toll and then the loss of my mother. Also failure in realtionships, taking classes and holding a job for a long period of time.
