What Is Depression?
It's natural to feel down sometimes, but if that low
mood lingers
day after day, it could signal depression.
Major depression is an episode of sadness or apathy that
lasts at least two consecutive weeks and is severe enough
to interrupt daily activities. Depression is not a sign of weakness or a negative personality. It is a major public
health problem and a treatable medical condition.
