    Default treatment vs. employment?

    It kinda sucks that you sometimes have to choose between the two, but what do you guys think about getting treatment for depression vs. having a job? All the stuff i've read online says that depression tends to get worse if the person is unemployed, and that having a job and being productive can really help. But right now, I'm thinking really hard about quitting my job so that I can move home and get some treatment. My depression is worse than it's ever been, and I've been feeling suicidal constantly. I'm miserable at work and my job performance is abysmal because of depression, anxiety, and ed. but on the other hand, I have a job. this means a salary and something that forces me out of the house every day. If I quit, i might just be more miserable sitting in my parents house all the time, knowing i gave up this opportunity. but at least i wouldn't be alone, and i'd have access to treatment. thoughts? has anyone here given up a job for treatment?
    Friendship is born at that moment when one man says to another: What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .

    I don't know what kind of job you have, but I have gone on medical leave for treatment. And it was the best decision. Could you get a part-time job at your parents' house?
