Shrinks/therapists/psychologists are for insecure females who have no common sense or problem solving skills. Like others said, they are normal human beings who won't really help you. In fact, they may be worse off mentally than you. Sometimes, it's just you needing to talk to someone about your problems. I think that's all the therapists are there for, someone to talk to, just to get it off your chest. But you could always do that to your local bartender.
Anyways, I have depression, never seen a shrink or anything. But mine is more of imbalance of chemicals in the brain. I've been depressed since I was a kid, and when they finally put me on medication (welbutrin) everything suddenly went away. I don't really suggest going on medications (especially SSRI's) unless you're really suicidal. They fuck with your head, but better off fucked in the head/happy than depressed/suicidal/dead. I still do get depressed from time to time again while on meds, but those are from solvable problems only I can fix. Evaluate yourself like others said, find out the source of the depression, and try to fix it. If you can't, that's when you go to others for help.
