Depression is Common

man gazes out window
Depression is a common but serious illness that may result from a combination of genetic, biochemical, environmental and psychological factors. When treated early, the treatment is more effective and recurrence is less likely.

Depression affects about 18 million Americans each year. It is more than feeling sad for a few days. Depression can impair a person’s ability to work, socialize and enjoy their life. The good news is that proper treatment can alleviate a depressed person’s pain and suffering.
