DEPRESSION

WHAT YOU THINK IT IS ?

Depression isn't real.

It's something in your head.

It's being lazy.

Depression only happens if something bad happens to you. For example, you only get it after a bad divorce or losing your job.

Only people who are very depressed or think about suicide need medicine.

WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS ….

Depression is a disease of the brain. Experts believe that certain brain chemicals go out of balance to cause the disease. No one thing causes this. Many things, including your genes, stressful events, illness, and medicines, can cause the imbalance

Depression may start after something bad happens, but other things also may trigger it. Medicines, hormone problems, childbirth, and using alcohol and drugs all can trigger depression. Sometimes it happens for no clear reason.

Many people with depression are helped by medicine. Medicine can improve or get rid of the symptoms of depression.
