Depression drains away hope, happiness, and life from both the person inflicted, and friends and family closest to a person with depression.
What many people don’t realize is that clinical depression is a very treatable condition. Clinical studies conducted over the last 20-plus years have found time and time again that counseling therapy helps recovery from even severe depression.

The questions below cannot confirm 100% whether or not you have depression, however, if you answer “yes” to more than three questions, you might be experiencing clinical depression:

  1. Are you bothered by things that didn't used to bother you?
  2. Are you experiencing an increase in physical ailments, aches or pains?
  3. Are you having trouble falling asleep at night; or waking up early, unable to fall back asleep?
  4. Do you feel down most of the day, most days of the week, for at least 2 weeks?
  5. Has your appetite or weight recently fluctuated?
  6. Are you having any problems concentrating on simple tasks?
  7. Do simple daily tasks seem to take a large effort to accomplish?
  8. Does the future seem dark, unattractive, or unpleasant?
  9. Do you feel lonely, or have you been withdrawing from others?
  10. Have hobbies or pastimes that you used to enjoy now bring you no pleasure?
 
Depression isn't just "the blues", or feeling low. Depression steals life away from the person struggling with it and their loved ones. Symptoms of depression can include: sadness, loss of interest in enjoyable activities, weight loss or weight gain, change of appetite, insomnia or excessive sleep, slowed physical movements, agitation, decreased energy or fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, excessive guilt, indecisiveness, an inability to concentrate, and more.
 
Depression can be exacerbated by our busy and time-starved lives, by life changes large or small, and even by the change in seasons.  
 
If you answered "yes" to three or more of the questions above, or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms described here, you may be suffering from depression. You do not have to struggle with it alone. There is very effective treatment for depression.
