Sigh. Tough day? If yesterday was tough too, maybe you’re wondering if you’re depressed. And if you’re thinking you are depressed, maybe you’re a little depressed about that. You just can’t win, hey? Not when you’re feeling a touch of the blues.

But take heart: depression is very common. Almost anybody can develop the illness; it is certainly not a sign of “weakness”. Between 5 - 10 % of the population are suffering from the illness to some extent at any given time (and no, being bleak that your team didn’t win The Amazing Race doesn’t count). The causes of depression are complex and hard to pigeonhole, but if you have a history of it in your family then that’s one way it comes to you. Depression can, of course, vary in severity and we must stress, if you think you may be “seriously” depressed, then you should definitely seek professional medical attention.
