About 10 percent of people suffer from depression.
Common symptoms of depression include overwhelming sadness; feelings of hopelessness; an inability to concentrate; fatigue; changes in eating or sleeping habits; loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, including sex; persistent physical ailments such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain; and thoughts of death or suicide.
Depression is highly treatable.
Talk with your health care provider or your EAP if you have concerns. If you have thoughts of death or suicide, seek help immediately.
You can take a confidential depression screening test at the National Mental Health Association Web site at www.depressionscreening.org.
