I haven't been diangosed with any form of depression and I don't know how to bring this up to a doctor and whether if its even a big problem. I will be happy and joyful throughout the day, but I randomly become distant, upset, angry or frustrated. I can usually hop back to happy, but other days I won't be happy until the next morning or two. I don't want to talk to anyone, do anything, etc. Is it normal to feel so down out of the blue? I've never been super comfortable talking to my doctor, but if this needs to be brought up how can I do it?

I'd just say that you have notice a pattern that bothers you. Then explain how you feel. Your dr probably has many other patients with depression so nothing you say can surprise him. That needs to be your first step.

Hello Pena,

AV has some good advice for you. Just let your doctor know how you are feeling and they will take it from there with medications possibly and some counseling.

You are taking the first steps to healing yourself, that is awesome...

Hugs, Karen...

Pena ......

   Besides the first priority of talking to your doctor - assumming he/she is a primary doctor, there very possibly would be some medication.

   However ..... discussing any problem with a trained professional is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. A person trained in psychology is likely best able to guide one thru difficult times - in addition to the medication.

   Best wishes to you ...... and an old saying "nip it in the bud" now!!!!
