Depression

• Depression is an illness that causes you to feel sad, lose interest in activities that you've always enjoyed, withdraw from others, and have little energy or fatigue.

• It can also cause people to feel hopeless about the future and even think about suicide. Depression is not the same as normal feelings of sadness, grief, or fatigue.

Causes

• Most experts believe that a combination of family history (your genes) and stressful life events may cause depression.

• Life events can include a death in the family, divorce, losing a job, or having a long-term health problem.
