The ABCs of Depressive Disorders
Depression is more than just the occasional blues. It includes ongoing feelings of sadness or emptiness that significantly disrupt daily life. Without treatment, symptoms often worsen over time, and major depressive disorder — or clinical depression — can be life-threatening. Treatment usually involves a combination of medication and therapy.
“In the US, 16 million Americans battle depression every year.”
