Antidepressants are often used to cure my case of depression. Drugs such as Zoloft is effective in dealing with depression.

Psychotherapy can be delievered by family or doctors in order to alleviate the symptoms of depression.

If worse comes to worse, ECT is another extreme way to deal with depression by means of electricity running through the brain.

Life is pointless. There exists no will, no destiny, no nothing. My body screams of the pain caused by the irregularity of digestion and sleep associated with depression.

The days are getting darker and longer. I feel no more will to live. Only to dwell within my own darkness.

By with any illness, there always exists a cure. Through medication and therapy, I will overcome and endure.
