What is Depression?

Symptoms of depression include:

  • Feeling down, sad, or “blue"
  • Feeling tired
  • Not caring about things you usually enjoy
  • Not maintaining your interactions with other people

Depression is often associated with other health problems and can make it difficult to go through the day and do the things you need to do.

How is Depression Diagnosed?

Depression is diagnosed by talking with a doctor or other health care professional about your feelings and concerns.

How is Depression Treated?

Treating depression usually involves a combination of approaches, including:

  • Medicine
  • Lifestyle changes
  • Counseling
