I know personally I am depressed and even from a quick hunt at the on-line tests this morning (Goldberg and Edinburgh) I score highly.
I'm a single mum, unplanned pregnancy, with not much support out there. Even if I did go to the doctors it wouldn't really change the situation I'm in, which I think is the main cause of my mood. I'm trying to get back to work with no avail at present, tried the baby clubs, get exercise from walking my non-napping dc and can't join hobby or interest classes as I have the baby most of the time. I feel so utterly hopeless and trapped and wake up every morning for the last six months with a heaviness over me but can't see a way out. I can't see how a gp would be able to help me with that, unless they were able to wave a magic wand and transform my life.

How do you know it's depression and not just a reaction to the situation you are in?
