Depression is a serious medical illness that involves the brain. It's more than
just a feeling of being "down in the dumps" or "blue" for a few days. If you are
one of the more than 20 million people in the United States who have
depression, the feelings do not go away. They persist and interfere with your
everyday life.

Symptoms can include

Sadness
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy
Change in weight
Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
Energy loss
Feelings of worthlessness
Thoughts of death or suicide

Suicide is the eleventh most common cause of death in the United States.
People may consider suicide when they are hopeless and can't see any other
solution to their problems. Often it's related to serious depression, alcohol or
substance abuse, or a major stressful event.

People who have the highest risk of suicide are white men, though women and
teens report more suicide attempts. If someone talks about suicide, you should
take it seriously. Urge them to get help from their doctor or the emergency
room, or call 911.

Therapy and medicines can help most people who have suicidal thoughts.
Treating mental illnesses and substance abuse can reduce the risk of suicide.


Depression can run in families, and usually starts between the ages of 15 and
30. It is much more common in women. Women can also get postpartum
depression after the birth of a baby. Some people get seasonal affective
disorder in the winter. Depression is one part of bipolar disorder.

There are effective treatments for depression, including antidepressants and
talk therapy. Most people do best by using both.

However, it is not unusual for proper treatment to fully resolve Depression,
and some sufferers, while helped by treatment, are not helped enough to be
able to resume working full time.  If this is you or someone you love, you may
potentially file for Social Security Disability Benefits.
