Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I understand your emotions. Depression disorder has its own reasons. Your doctor had prescribed medicine. But medicine alone cannot cure chronic depression. Patient needs to understand the reasons behind the problem and try changing the understanding or lifestyles in accordance with the requirement. If he is depressed due to his own physical illness worry, it might take two to three months to realize that such a health problem is normal and inevitable. In any case, the depression intensity should come down within a fortnight or so.  If you require more of my services, please post a direct query with every Possible details. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
