What Is Depression?

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.

Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include:

*Feeling sad or having a depressed mood

*Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

*Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting

*Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

*Loss of energy or increased fatigue

*Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing, handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions must be severe enough to be observable by others)

*Feeling worthless or guilty

*Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions

*Thoughts of death or suicide
