A Patient’s Guide to Depression
A Patient’s Guide to Depression:- It doesn’t take much to get some people in a funk. A squabble with a spouse; a bad review at work. Most often, the sour moods that result are fleeting. Not so with depression.
If those feelings persist – usually for at least two weeks – and begin to interfere with your work, your sleep and your ability to enjoy life, you may be suffering from depression, a word that frightens many because of the stigma of a psychiatric illness. But it’s treatable, perhaps even curable, if you get help early.
You need to know the warning signs, causes, types of depression and risks and benefits of the most common treatments. The key is to confront the condition early to keep it from getting worse.
