What is Depression?
There are normal
ups and downs in life.
Everyone feels sad or has "the blues"
from time to time.
Sadness or downswings in mood are normal reactions
to life’s struggles, setbacks, and disappointments.
Depression is much more than just sadness.
If emptiness and despair have taken hold of your
life and won't go away, you may have depression.
Depression makes it tough to function and enjoy
life like you once did.
Just getting through the day can be overwhelming.
Some people describe depression as “living in a black hole” or having a feeling of
impending doom.
