Clinical depression is a serious emotional and biological disease, a long-lasting condition that has serious negative implications for our lives.
In addition, the feelings of sadness and low self-worth that major depression can bring on make it difficult to self-diagnosis, admit to and seek treatment for what they’re experiencing.
Clinical depression can make concentrating harder, and increase feelings of fatigue and lethargy.
Clinical depression’s most serious effects can be self-destructive actions.
If you, or someone you know, is displaying any of the symptoms of serious depression for more than a period of two weeks, or if they talk about or display intentions of suicide, seek medical help.
