Q: my brother have noticed that i have been depressed lately....... i don't really know if this is really depression
Hi, Margox. I'm really sorry that you're feeling so badly right now. It does sound like depression but you should see a mental health professional for an evaluation, such as a therapist or psychologist, or even your family doctor. Another suggestion I have for you is to see a dermatologist for your skin condition. There are so many things available now for that condition and there's nothing to be ashamed about - it's happened to a lot of us! I used to have horrible acne when I was a teenager and it ended up going away by itself, but back then, there weren't really any treatments available. I know that if you don't feel good about your looks, it can make you feel terrible in many respects. But, depression can fool you into thinking a lot of negative things about yourself.
If you need help finding a therapist/psychologist, let us know, but I hope you will do that and get yourself on the road to feeling better. Life is too short to feel miserable all the time. You might be interested in visiting our Skin Care site where you can find more information on acne and ask questions, as well.
Thanks for visiting our site and I hope you'll let us know how you're doing. I wish you the best.
