What is Depression?

Everyone experiences feelings of sadness, but when these feeling interfere with daily life and cause pain for both you and those around you, you may have depression. Depression affects everyone differently, therefore symptoms can vary widely.

Depression is characterized by a loss of interest in activities that were once pleasurable. If you are depressed, you may feel sad, unhappy, anxious, angry, troubled, empty, distracted, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, frustrated or agitated. You may cry for no reason, have regular thoughts about death, dying, or suicide. You may have physical symptoms such as aches and pains, loss of appetite or overeating, insomnia or excessive sleeping, fatigue, loss of energy, and digestive problems.

Depression can be temporary, but for some it is a lifelong battle.
