Anybody who dealt with depression probably feels like a black curtain of despair is hanging over their heads. Some people feel like they have no energy and can't concentrate. Other individuals feel irritable all the time for no apparent reason. The symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but if you feel "down" for more than two weeks and those feelings are interfering with your daily life, you may be suffering from depression.

Symptoms of Depression:
• constant feelings of sadness, irritability, or tension
• decreased interest or pleasure in activities or hobbies
• loss of energy/feeling tired despite lack of activity
• a change in appetite with significant weight loss or weight gain
• a change in sleeping patterns (i.e. difficulty sleeping, early morning awakening, or sleeping too much)
• inability to make decisions or concentrate
• feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, or guilt
• thoughts of suicide or death

Treating depression is especially important because it affects you, your family, and your work. Some people with depression try to harm themselves in the mistaken belief that how they are feeling will never changes at all. Depression is treatable.

You may have to try a few different medications and/or supplements to find the one that works best for you. Your doctor may also recommend that you see a therapist and/or make certain lifestyle changes. Change won't come overnight, but with the right treatment, you can keep depression from overshadowing your life.
