I am prone to deppession and on antidepresion medicine. I have had three major losses in last year. My sister in car accident, house fire, daughter pregnant to a really evil guy and what the local victim advocate in our county describes as worst of the a Worst yes drugs are involved! . I am physically weak and have a hard time getting out of the chair. Is this clinical depression or grieving or both! I also take care of my daughters 11 year old. I m tired.

Hello,
I am so sorry that you are having all these things happen at once. Depression that is this serious needs to be managed by a psychiatrist to make sure that your medications are working as well as possible. Seeing a counselor will help as well. Getting regular exercise will help with your energy. Getting enough sleep and eating healthy foods will help as well. You should also take a multivitamin and some extra B vitamin supplements to help with energy.
