Feeling depressed is extremely common, especially following major life events such as loss. However, when feelings of depression begin to cause a loss of functioning or enjoyment in life, it may be time to seek treatment. Depression that persists over many weeks may result in loss of energy, constant feelings of sadness or emptiness, not enjoying things (family, children, friends, hobbies, etc.), sleeping too much or not enough, difficulty concentrating, or suicidal thoughts. This may require professional treatment.
Depression can be a life-threatening disease and often causes relationship and employment problems. The good news is that with medical treatment, specifically therapy and sometimes medication management, recovery is possible.
