Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. (NIMH)

Depression is a mental illness that affects motivation and mood. A person with depression may be frequently tired or exhausted. They may keep to themselves and hold themselves in their homes.

Depression is not an uncommon mental illness. 20 percent of teens experience depression before adulthood. 10-15 percent of teens exhibit symptoms related to depression.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death in young people ages 15-24. If you or a loved one are experiencing suicidal or self-harming thoughts, please contact a psychiatrist.

Over 80% of people who have been treated for depression have experienced an increase in happiness and function. Two-thirds of people who have depression do not seek medical help. An estimated 17.5 million of Americans have some sort of clinical depression.

It is important that people who are experiencing symptoms from depression seek help immediately. If someone goes untreated for an extended period of time, they may cut off friendships and family relationships. They may even attempt or commit suicide.

Depression can be treated in many ways. The most common and popular way is through medication and extended therapy. If someone has a severe case of depression, they may be hospitalized for a certain period of time that is related to the intensity of the depression.
