    Question: I have been diagnosed and treated for depression in the past. It got so bad that I started having delusions and was hospitalized for three weeks. I never want to go through that again.

What are my options to help keep myself from slipping into that pit of darkness and hopelessness again?    Dr. Pies' Answer
