Next » « Previous3/16
In general, depression is a sadness that continues day after day. There is also a list of symptoms to watch for, such as lack of interest in things that were historically of interest to you.
Depression can have a significant negative impact on quality of life, on the quality of your medical care, and whether you take a necessary treatment or adhere to a drug and/or nutrition regimen.
Depression does not have to be a part of life after a diagnosis. It can be treated in most cases, even when it co-occurs with other health conditions. There are even techniques for dealing with holiday and post-holiday depression.
NOTE: If you are an employee, depression can be used as a disabling condition to help you claim disability income when you want it.
