The airlines don't want that either so while there are programs and supports in place to help, using that help can have significant consequences to a pilot and his career.

We don't even take sleeping pills. Very strict rules.

Must do more to explore options.

Most people with depression, however, pretty much suffer throughout the rest of their lives, as meds only work for a few people, and self-help or therapy requires effort. Those who are depressed generally aren't the best with effort, due to lack of interest. (Not saying this is you... just in general. Coming from my studying of psychology as well as my own personal experience both dealing with depression and helping friends deal with theirs.)
Good luck, and I'm always here if you wanna talk.
