Sometimes depression is a normal temporary reaction to life's events such as loss of a loved one.
Yeah, my grandma recently passed away and I can't seem to get over it.
I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes depression can make you really sad, anxious, or empty. Which I'm sure you feel at the moment.
Yes and i've been taking medication, but I think it's making it worse.
Sometimes medication can work but you have to be careful because some side effects of drugs can affect physical diseases.
Wow really? I might have to ease up on the meds then. How do you suggest I treat my depression?
You may experience problems concentrating, remembering general facts, etc. So I recommend exercise and meditation.
What about therapy?
Therapy works too. But I recommend meditation first because it can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and mental pain.
