hm depends on the doc. some are easy to prescirbe pills for anything yet some are more willing to really listen and offer suggestions. nowdays you really have to think alot for yourself. i would recommend giving yourself a few weeks or so with the mood and see if you can feel better by changing things in you life. if all else fails and you just cant seem to get out of your slump no matter what you try to do for yourself then yes go in to get a med to help and if the med does work then if could be a clinical depression which in time could fix itself. but i would also say wait till the depression seems to interfere with your life such as work, school, socializing, or even things such as eating and sleeping patterns. thats when you knwo you should get help from a doc
