Question 1:	I have depression, and it is taking years to clear up. What is this illness, what can be done for them, and what is the long term prognosis?
Question 2:	Can depression be caused by an incorrect balance of the hormones I am taking for my menopause?
Question 3:	What is the best treatment for depression? Should 1 keep taking drugs all the time?
Question 4:	A week ago I saw a doctor to get some sleeping pills, and I ended up telling him off and walking out. I' m in the middle of a breakdown and can' t sleep or eat. I' m tired out, stressed and fed up. I hate my housing commission flat, and feel I can' t keep going any more. I need help.
Question 5:	What are the side effects of medicines used to treat depression? I am taking one called Cipramil, but I am told Efexor is better.
