Beating the Blues
Depression affects about 18 million Americans each year.
It is more than feeling sad for a few days. Depression can impair a person’s ability to work, socialize and enjoy their life. The good news is that proper treatment can alleviate a depressed person’s pain and suffering.
If you have experienced several of the following symptoms for longer than two weeks, contact a professional, such as a social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist.
Depression is a common but serious illness that may result from a combination of genetic, biochemical, environmental and psychological factors. When treated early, the treatment is more effective and recurrence is less likely.
