Depression is a mental illness in which a person experiences deep sadness and diminished interest in nearly all activities. People also use the term “depression” to describe a low mood, loneliness or blues that everyone feels from time to time. In contrast to normal sadness, severe depression, also called “major depression”, can dramatically impair a person’s ability to function in social situations and at work. People with major depression often have feelings of worthlessness, helplessness and hopelessness, accompanied by low self-esteem and inappropriate guilt as well as thoughts of committing suicide. Although it may appear anytime from childhood to old age, depression usually begins during a person’s 20s or 30s. The illness may come on slowly and then deepen gradually over months or years. On the other hand, it may erupt suddenly in a few weeks or days. A person who develops severe depression may appear extremely anxious, frightened and unbalanced. Insomnia is common among the depressed people. Appetite often decreases, resulting in weight loss. Other symptoms of depression include poor concentration and memory. The illness affects all people, regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic standing. However, women are two or three times more likely than men to suffer from depression. Experts disagree on the reason for this difference. Some cite differences in hormones, and others point to the stress caused by the society’s expectations of women.
