What is the difference between being temporarily "down" and experiencing depression?
While the two can be similar, depression is more severe than sadness. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, major depression is one of the most common mental disorders affecting more than 15 million adults in the United States (~6.7% of the population). It manifests differently in each person and is a serious condition that requires treatment from a mental health professional.
The following questions can help you determine your level of depression. If you notice yourself answering that you frequently experience these feelings, it may be time to talk with a professional who can work with you to find brighter days.
