ABSTRACT
If your scores in part III of the self-exploration exercise in chapter 7 generally fell above 4, this suggests that your depression may be moderate to severe. You may want to focus on more aggressive treatment. After an abusive relationship, depression is normal, but you shouldn’t have to live with it forever. You can decide to get some help and start feeling better
How do you know when your depression is serious enough to require additional help? You are usually the best judge of that. Follow your instincts. Even if you’re not sure whether or not you need counseling, consider seeing someone who can help you decide. Some general guidelines may help you determine just how serious your depression is and if you might need some professional help.
