If you're reading this article,repparttar possibility that you aren't feeling quite like yourself is pretty high. Atrepparttar 140885 very least, you know of someone who is feeling down.

Whether this person is you or someone you care about, know that concern is onrepparttar 140886 other side of these words and help is all around.

Everyone, for any number of reasons, feels down at times. The cause can be as major as grief for a lost one,repparttar 140887 presence of an illness orrepparttar 140888 shattering of a personal dream. It can be as "minor" as a disagreement, a speeding ticket or stubborn extra pounds. Usually events such as these require time to "heal", then ifrepparttar 140889 healing was complete, you begin feeling more like yourself.

However, ifrepparttar 140890 feelings are more than just "the blues" time will make you feel worse rather than better. Clinical Depression is more than a passing phase and does not just disappear on its own. It affects more than 19 million Americans each year, andrepparttar 140891 numbers are steadily climbing. Givenrepparttar 140892 fact that this illness is very debilitating and gravely affects every aspect ofrepparttar 140893 sufferer's life, it is amazing that less than half of these people even seek help!

A contributing factor to this is believed to be a failure to recognizerepparttar 140894 symptoms. People generally think, "This will pass. I'm just down..." Infuriatingly enough, many females suffer fromrepparttar 140895 erroneous claim that their feelings are due torepparttar 140896 H word, "hormones". The cynic in me believes that one day, every ill inrepparttar 140897 world will be attributed to hormones!

Rant aside, let's look closely atrepparttar 140898 symptoms of depression. First of all, promise me you'll make a point of never misusing this word ever again. How many of us attachrepparttar 140899 "depresion" name tag to everything from a bad mood torepparttar 140900 side effects of a rainy-day. People suffer from and deal with this illness on a daily basis. Overusingrepparttar 140901 name lessens it's importance and misusing it makesrepparttar 140902 lines between "blues" and "depression" hazier.
