Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are a medical nurse and I am sure you know the types of depressive disorders. I am sure you also know the different symptoms and overlapping symptoms available for each depressive disorders. Online treatment may not be effective at all if you are unable to provide the full details of your symptoms and other vitals like blood reading, TSH, T3 and T4 etc. Even so, the psychiatrist always wants to see the patient face to face to assess the personality and other parameters. Therefore, I request you to consult a psychiatrist in person.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
