Depression is the leading cause of disability Worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It can undermine a person's relationships, making working and maintaining good health very difficult, and in severe cases, may lead to suicide. In fact depression contributes to nearly 40,000 suicides in the United States each year. It can affect adults, adolescents, and children. Everyone can feel sad or overwhelmed at times. But depression is a chronic feeling of emptiness, sadness, or inability to feel pleasure that may appear to happen for no clear reason. It is different from grief and other emotions one can feel following difficult life events. This book examines what depression is and what causes it, as well as types of depression, treatment, and more.
