SPECIALTIES: DEPRESSION
Depression.
Every once in a while, we all experience the blues. Events happen in life that bring about sad
feelings, and we react accordingly. But when we experience feelings of sadness or
hopelessness that extend for more than a couple of weeks, and this sadness makes it difficult
to get out of bed or make it through each day, we should pay attention. It may be evidence of
clinical depression, and depression can be a dangerous disorder.
Some symptoms of depression are a depressed mood for over two weeks, loss of interest in
once enjoyed activities, changes in appetite and sleeping habits, difficultly concentrating, a
lack of energy, slowed movements, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts of death or
suicide. Depression affects the way people see themselves, their world, and their future, and
can be deadly. People with serious depression consider suicide.
When depression is properly diagnosed by a doctor, research confirms that depression is
highly treatable. And many people learn to cope with their depression and again live
meaningful lives. Depression takes the joy out of life. Seek help.
