What is Depression?
Depresssion is a type of metal disorder that affects a person's mood. it can affect your thoughts, feelings, behavior, and overall helth.

Treatment For Depression
Having depression doesnt mean that a person is weak, or a failure, or isnt really trying. It means they might need treatment, or be going through a difficult person in their life.

Why Do People Get Depressed?
Sometimes people get seriously depressed after an intense incident, like a divorde in the family, someone you love dying, a stressful home life, violence, or breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend. Other times, depression just happens by itself.

What About Suicide?
Most people who are depressed do not commit suicide. But depression increases the risk for suicide or suicide attempts. It is NOT true that people who talk about suicide do not attempt it. Suicidal thoughts, remarks, or attempts are ALWAYS SERIOUS... if any of these happen to you or a friend, you must tell a responsible adult IMMEDIATELY! ALL talk of suicide should be taken seriously! Ask the person--"Do you feel like killing yourself?" Just come out and ask-- then let them talk.
