Estimates are that almost 15 million Americans suffer from Depression, a serious problem. It's a proven illness.

Although it is defined as a mental illness this is no reflection on the personal attributes of the inflicted. Anyone can contract depression. It's path has no pattern. It will affect the rich as well as the poor. It takes no race into consideration.

It's not true that only weaker people suffer from this problem. The age-old stereotype that has been associated with a mental illness must be ignored. Without treatment it will get worse. It will not simply go away if you ignore the symptoms. This medical condition will progress until it takes over your whole life unless treated.

Depression is brought on by many factors in our life. It's not a matter of a day or two of confusion or sadness, this disease is much more. Depression can be a matter of months and even years.

The worst effects of depression can be physical illness and even suicide. Early stages involve feelings of regret. It can take from you the enjoyment that you once used to receive from your favorite activities. It's possible to experience loneliness and despair.

It could lead to feelings of failure and a sense of the future only getting worseession.
