Depression

Depression is an illness that involves the body, how you feel and how you think. It affects the way you eat and sleep, the way you feel about oneself, and the way you think about other things. Depression is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with depression cannot merely "pull themselves together" and get better. Without treatment, depression symptoms can last for months or even years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression.
