Talk therapy helped me. I'm 37, male, and was diagnosed with a personality disorder which explains all the pain, anguish and impulsivities I've suffered since my teens. Suffered with depression on and off for years, I'm physically fit, active and involved in religious activities. Yet, I didn't find any answers that fit or helped me maneuver life and get me out of the void, until the diagnosis and the subsequent treatment (no medicine prescribed in my case). I grateful that I got lucky, getting the right therapist that greatly helped me in my darkest time of need. Still, you'd have to be patient as the therapeutic process takes time. You can't simply undo years if not decades of maladaptive behaviour, thoughts or beliefs.

All I can say is, give therapy or psychiatric intervention a try if you've been suffering from your mental health. It can work.
