How Can Depression Be Managed?

Hey there! My mom passed away nearly a year ago and ever since she did I don t seem to feel completely happy. I still do my daily activities and enjoy some of them but I feel sad quite a lot even if it doesn t show. And it hits me hard at night when I m alone at home or when something happens that makes me wish she was here with me. I still can t believe she is gone. I cry a lot and I get angry or irritated a lot. I miss her a lot! And i think that this pain and burden will forever accompany me. It doesn t go away.. I just get used to it

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sorry for your loss. Loosing someone is always disheartening and it takes time to recover from it. Few things what you can do are try meeting new people, keep yourself busy, start doing what you use to enjoy previously. Everyone around you wants you to be happy. Therefore, you have to try to get over it. Whenever these thought comes write it down or start concentrating on your breath for some time. If it still persists, then you can go for grief therapy in which you will be taught to recover.

Take care.
