Feeling sad, down, or discouraged are natural emotions that happen when difficulties or troubles occur in our lives. Depression is different from a regular down mood, because it lasts longer and feels stronger or different from typical sadness. Sometimes it is a feeling of emptiness, lack of feeling or being irritable, cranky and easily angered. Depression affects more than just mood. It drains the energy, motivation, and concentration a person needs for normal living. It interferes with the ability to notice or enjoy the good things in life. Depression can make a person see things much more negatively than they really are and can lead to discouragement, despair, hopelessness, or suicidal thoughts. Sleep and appetite can also change during a period of depression. Depression isn’t a condition people can “snap out of,” or simply “cheer up” from. It’s a real medical condition that can affect a person’s life in every manner if it’s not treated properly.For proper treatment, it’s recommended that a psychiatrist or psychologist perform a psychological evaluation, asking you a series of questions about their moods, behaviors, and thoughts.
