People change, go through phases, or find different things interesting/boring. You need to accept that and try to look at it as a learning experience. THere could be a chemical imbalance, but that’s not the cause, that’s the symptom. You should be able to fix the problem on your own.
First- get healthy- get off of any drugs, alcohol, caffeine that may be altering your brain physiology and try to get to an ideal weight (if you’re not already). Exercise and eat right- get all of your vitamins!
Second- Talk to people. Make sure that you’re not holding anything back, but that you are aware of your feelings and able to communicate them to people
Third- Make sure you’re breathing normally throughout the day and sleeping well at night. If either of these things gets out of whack, it could make you feel like you’re losing it or becomming depressed.
I would try all of these things before you go pay money to get the same advice or spend more money on pharmaceuticals that could do damage. If you’re the type that needs a cure in a pill, look into http://www.amelior4life.com - studies show it’s dramatically effective at curing depression and has minimal side effects.
Good luck- and remember- don’t worry about it- that may only make your condition worse! It’s not just you- changes are normal!
clinical depression is all day, everyday. It also means that the serotonin levels in your brain are off. Which is completely different. You either see a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
