Depression & Mood Disorder
What is Depression & Mood Disorder?
Depression is more than just “feeling blue” for a period of time. It affects the way you think, feel, and act and can cause difficulty in functioning at work and at home. It is not something that you can “snap out of”. Although depression is a serious condition, it is also a common one. It affects roughly one in five women and one in ten men at some stage of their lives. It also doesn’t discriminate; depression is found across age groups, educational levels, and social backgrounds. Once an episode of depression has occurred, there is an increased chance that it can reoccur.
