Good move by you , there is a history of depression in our family ,
You may find augmenting medication with doing something physical routinely will help ,.
For me fortunately I have never needed medication , I find fresh air and exercise and helping out family members and neighbours with little acts of kindness ie a bunch of flowers out of the garden or some reading books ) and then just listen to their thoughts realising they are less fortunate than me is a really good uplifting tonic to realise how good life is for me
(I am possibly getting a narcistic high for being nice to them )
hope your Doc visit goes well
