[|Human|] I have been feeling depressed now for the past few months at least, I have an appointment with a doctor this Thursday but feel like I need some advise and help as soon as possible. Its really affecting my life, my boyfriend and the way I look at things.
[|AI|]  Hi, I went through your query and can understand your distress. Depression is a disorder which affects the way we think and makes it difficult to manage out day-to-day functions. It's nice that you have already fixed appointment with your doctor. After complete evaluation, if you are diagnosed with depressive disorder, treatment with anti-depressant medications like Escitalopram would be helpful. You will have to be patient about the response to the medications, as most of the anti-depressant are slow to act and will need at least 2 weeks to start showing response. In addition, you must start exercising daily, as it will help you feel better and relax. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes,
