Millions of people around the world live with depression.

Many of these
individuals and their families are afraid to talk about their struggles, and don't
know where to turn for help. However, depression is largely preventable and
treatable. Recognizing depression and seeking help is the first and most critical
towards recovery.
What do you know about depression?
Depression is a common mental disorder, characterized by sadness, loss of
interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or
appetite, feelings of tiredness, and poor concentration.
Depression can be long-lasting or recurrent, substantially impairing an
individuals ability to function at work or school or cope with daily life. At its
most severe, depression can lead to suicide.
Depression often looks different in men and women, and in young people and
older adults.

The road to depression recovery


Just as the symptoms and causes of depression are different in different people,
so are the ways to feel better. What works for one person might not work for
another, and no one treatment is appropriate in all cases.
In most cases, the best approach involves a combination of social support,
lifestyle changes, emotional skills building, and professional help.
