I am sorry, that I did not see you were going for treatment for depression.
I think this is a good step. Depression is insidious because it warps thinking. Good cognitive therapy is really helpful for recognizing when your perceptions are trustworthy and when they are not.
Depressed people hear the worst possible message anywhere they go. The feelings of hopelessness, friendliness, and emptiness get reinforced even though they are not true. That is why it is so good that you are seeking help here and with professionals. Depression often prevents people from even trying to get better.
