CAN YOU SPOT DEPRESSION

Can you Spot the Signs of Depression?

Experts say that 16 percent of Americans -- more than 30 million people -- will suffer major depression at some point in their lives.

Will you be able to see the signs if it strikes you or someone you love?

Sad most days (or, in kids and teens, angry and irritable most days)
no longer interested in things they once enjoyed
oversleeping or not sleeping enough
overeating or not eating enough
feeling guilty or experiencing low self-esteem
having trouble concentrating, trouble making decisions
restless or agitated
fatigued or lacking energy most days
having thoughts about death or suicidal thoughts

If you checked 5 or more of these signs, consult a psychologist or physician. Depression is a serious illness; but it is also very treatable.
