There is depression medicine. You should tell your mom if she can take you to a psychiatrist, they prescribe meds. I went and it turned out I have bipolar 2 disorder which is rare random acts of mania with mostly depression. He prescribed me lithium and Latuda which are mood stabilizers. They help to produce more serotonin in your brain so you can feel more happiness like everyone else. This started for me when I was 15, I never got help until now and I'm 39 and by this time I was very suicidal, don't let it get that bad seek help now so you can live a normal happy young adult life, not one filled with depression like mine was. Good luck to you my friend...

Perhaps you should tell your therapist about this, since they may want to increase the medicine dosage if it doesn't seem to be helping you, or change to a different medicine. If those random bouts happen again you can always try looking to see if there are any constant triggers too.

I've gotten those random bouts of depression too, and I'm on citalopram.
