Recognizing Depression......
Depression affects more people than any other mental health condition–
It may affect You....

Everyone gets down from time to time, but sometimes it’s more than “the blues.” Clinical depression is a real illness that can be treated effectively. Unfortunately, fewer than half of the people who have depression seek treatment and many people ignore it and are untreated.
Many people believe that its  a normal part of life’s ups and downs, rather than a real health problem and therefore ignore it.
As a result, they may delay seeking help or not seek help at all. It’s important to know that depression is real,
and it can be effectively treated.
If you experience five or more of these symptoms for two weeks or longer, you may have depression. See a doctor or mental health professional for help right away. It’s also important to connect to the people in your life who care about you and can give you support
  • Depressed Mood most of the day
  • Diminished interest or pleasure in all or almost all activities if daily life
  • Significant weight loss or weight gain
  • Loss of sleep or excess of sleep
  • Fatigue or loss of energy 
  • Feeling of worthlessness
  • Difficulty in concentration, indecisiveness
  • Recurrent suicidal ideations
If you or someone you know is in crisis now, seek help immediately
