What is Depression?
Do I need to get treatment for depression? Will it get better on its own?
- Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the world today.
- Although depression generally occurs at adulthood, it is currently recognized as occurring in children and adolescents as well.
- Depression in midlife can often turn serious when it co-occurs with medical/physical illness.
- It is best to identify depression symptoms at an early stage and work with a therapist to help you overcome it.
How can we help?
- Current research suggests that depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors.
- Depression can be treated by a variety of approaches including therapy, medications and life style changes.
