Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders. It may be experienced as feelings of sadness, irritability, or, in some cases, thoughts of or plans for suicide. Depression is more than just a passing mood and, without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression.
