Depression

Depression is a debilitating condition that 1 in 5 people will experience in their lifetime. Whether depression is caused by a job loss, relationship break-up, stress, or a combination of factors, no one is immune. The two most common forms of depression are:

​

• Major Depression: An episode of extreme sadness lasting at least two weeks or longer. This is often triggered by a deeply upsetting event, or a culmination of several events or stressors. Additional symptoms can include loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, and frequent thoughts of death.

​

• Chronic Depression: Also known as Dysthymia, it is a low-grade, long-term depression that can last for years. This condition is often accompanied by fatigue, low self-esteem, and feelings of hopelessness.
