Depression

While we all feel sad, moody or low from time to time, some people experience these feelings intensely, for long periods of time (weeks, months or even years) and sometimes without any apparent reason. Clinical depression is more than just a low mood, it is a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health. If this applies to you it is important for you to consult with your doctor.
