I've battled with severe and not so severe streaks of depression for what's going on to be 5 years. It started as small dips of sadness for no apparent reason, then when I found reasons- that's when the suicidal thoughts came. I haven't always been suicidal when I was depressed, it only appened about three times, and eventually I was able to stop thinking suicidal thoughts completely. Last year was my severest case of depression ever. I got addicted to pills, I was closed off, it basically was ruining my life and my relationships with family, friends, boyfriend. But I worked through it. It took a while, but I got alot better. I was truly happy for the first time in my life. But then I ended a serious relationship, I moved away from my closest friends, and basically the perfect catalysts needed to trip off my depression went into action. I need to know if what I have is deeper than just emotional, if the chemicals in my brain aren't normal. Should I seek medical attention?

Yes i do think you should seek medical attention getting addicted to pills and possiblity overdosing and being sucidal isn't healthy it's very serious you want to live your life happy and not constantly be miserable you can't help yourself so let doctors who are licensed and know what they are doing help you yes i think that what's happening to you is deeper then emotional if you get some help you'll probably start to feel better(:
