Understanding Depression

More than sadness — a treatable condition

Depression is more than simply feeling sad or blue. Depression is a mental health condition that affects approximately 21 million adults in the US at some point in their lifetime. Some people experience depression more than once.

Common symptoms include decreased energy and concentration, hopelessness, lack of interest, and changes to sleep or appetite. Some people may also experience suicidal thoughts.
