I had a mild depression but severe anxiety that I've mainly got under control now. I'm a full time carer for my wife who has a severe mental health illness and when she went though a really rough time I made the stupid mistake of not looking after my own mental health. By the time I realised I had a problem it was too late. We have a very good doctor and over the last 10 years of caring for my wife I've picked up coping strategies to get me through each day. it took over a year but I've got myself into a better place.
