Depression/Lost of interest
Hi,I am a 30 year old male and I believe I am suffering depression. I no longer get pleasure of doing anything. I do not concentrate at work and it is very difficult to get my work done. I was married and recently divorced. I need help and would not like to take regular medication because of the side effects. Would someone please help me.
Thank You,
Leo
