Depression

1. Feeling depressed is a normal and natural response to the experiences of loss, failure and undeserved bad luck that anyone might suffer. It has been pointed out that without depression we would lack much of the world’s great tragic literature, music and art and we would be less than, or at any rate other than, human. In some cases, however, depression becomes something more than just normal feelings of the blues or a letdown.

2. A large number of people suffer from what psychiatrists and psychologists call “depressive illness”, which is more intense and lasts longer than common down-in-the-dumps feelings.

3. Sometimes a serious bout can begin ordinarily enough with an event such as the loss of a loved one or a change to a worse or more difficult job, but the depression often persists and becomes worse. At times, in very severe cases there does not seem to have been any circumstance serious enough to have caused the depression.

Researchers are not sure, even today, whether depressive illness is an aggravated form of normal depression or whether it is something entirely different. Some sufferers have described their feelings during a depressive illness as being quite distinct from any blue feelings they had ever experienced.

4. Depression can show itself in many ways and with different degrees of intensity. There is a variety of possible symptoms, particularly in the milder forms of the illness, called “depressive neuroses”. Often those who go to their doctors with general complaints or feelings of “not being myself” do not know that depression may be behind these feelings.
