Depression is one of the most common types of mental illness among US residents, affecting 17.3 million adults. It impacts your mood, and ability to concentrate and function. It can make you feel hopeless, prevent you from establishing social relationships, and expressing creativity. The hopelessness often trickles down and impacts your close family and friends.

Typical symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness, feeling irritable, anxious, frustrated, or angry. Often, you will experience changes in appetite and loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities. Depression can also bring on physical pain, lead to substance abuse and self-harm. It may also boost your risk of heart disease and stroke, trigger weight issues and insomnia. The most disturbing symptom is thoughts of suicide.

It can occur without any warnings or obvious cause. Studies show that once you’ve experienced a depressive episode, you have an increased risk of having another episode at some time.
