- Depression - Causes, Symptoms And Treatment
A depressive disorder is an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. Each and every year over 17 million American adults experience a period of clinical depression. Depression is very common and affects as many as one in eight people in their teen years. Depression affects people of every color, race, economic status, or age; however, it does seem to affect more females than males during adolescence and adulthood.
Depression can interfere with normal functioning, and frequently causes problems with work, social and family adjustment. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the depressed person.
