> Hi everyone. I started lexapro 11 days ago after a trip to my doctor where he told me I was depressed. I'm not sure that I am as depressed as lots of you seem and I feel kind of silly. My "depression" seems to come and go and looks more like lots of worry and "meltdowns". I finally went to the doctor when I just didn't feel I could get through my day. I do feel like whatever it is has affected my life, my family and my home--no energy. Does this sound like depression to you? I feel kind of silly taking this if I don't need it. This probably sounds ridiculous to you guys, but I have worried about whether we jumped the gun. I think my state of crying and my family history are what the doctor based this decision on. Any thoughts?
For mild depression, first make sure you are getting enough sleep and especially exercise. Then, start trying drugs.
