You might want to talk through your feelings with a psychologist, before trying meds and if you do decide to take meds, I'd recommend that you see a psychiatrist.

My son saw a psychologist, then a psychiatrist and for a few months took Zoloft. It may have helped his mood, but it may have just been that he was physically feeling better. He didn't want to stay on the Zoloft though and stopped taking them, with drs okay.

Lately, his mood is pretty good, when he feels good, physically.
