Depression is a serious infliction that affects almost 15 million Americans every year. Make no mistake, it is a real disease.

Although it is defined as a mental illness this is no reflection on the personal attributes of the inflicted. Anyone can contract depression. There's no logic to its onset. Executives to janitors can be affected. Race or religion aren't important.

The fact that you are suffering from this disease does not mean that you are less a human being. Mental illness comes with stereotypes, ignore them. The suffering associated with this disease will only get worse without treatment. Pretending nothing is wrong won't chase away this problem. If a person doesn't seek medical attention, the disease becomes worse until it dominates their entire life.

Depression can result from a number of sources. 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.

Suicide often results from depression. Early stages involve feelings of regret. It can take from you the enjoyment that you once used to receive from your favorite activities. You can experience loneliness and despair.

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