Depression
We all have experienced times in our lives when we have felt
sad, tearful, and just low. These are normal emotions of life, but if you find
these feelings taking control and not easy up in frequency, you may be
experiencing depression. Depression can make it difficult to function daily and
enjoy a quality of life if left undiagnosed.
Learning about depression—including its signs, symptoms,
causes, and treatment—is the first step to overcoming the problem. This article is to be used as a tool, not
to diagnose depression. If you think you are suffering from a form of
depression, contact your family physician.
