How To Treat Depression?

Hi, I have been getting very depressed, don't know why, I have a wonderful husband, and nice place to live, but often I get very down. I have been to many therapists and nothing has changed my problem. I am on 10 mg prozac. Do you think talking to my doctor to increase the dosage would help me handle everyday life. I am not a happy person inside, although all my friends, clients, acquaintances think I am a happy lucky go person, even my husband. He know I get down, but he doesn't understand the feeling I get inside of me, I don't understand the feeling I get inside of me to make me so blue, depressed and just want to be alone.

Hello,
I think you suffer from endogenous depression. Prozac 10mg is inadequate dose for depression. I would advice you to shift to tablet daxid 50mg and gradually increasing dose to 100mg after 10days.
You wiil start feeling better in 10-15 days.
Thanks.
