There is no greater wealth in this world than a peaceful and calm mind…

Major Depression (MD)

is an illness that involves the

body, mood, and thoughts.

It affects the way a person eats

and sleeps, the way one feels

about oneself, and the way one

thinks about things.

MD is NOT a sign of

personal weakness or a

condition that can be

willed or wished away.

People with MD cannot

merely "pull themselves

together" and get better.

Without treatment,

symptoms can last for

weeks, months, or years.

Appropriate treatment, however,

CAN help most people who

suffer from depression.

Major depression (MD) is manifested by a

combination of symptoms that interfere with

the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy

once pleasurable activities, including:

• Loss of interest

• Loss of sex drive

• Restlessness/irritability

• Insomnia

• Thoughts of death/suicide

• Guilt/worthlessness

MD: What does it look like?

• Decreased energy or fatigue

• Difficulty concentrating/remembering

• Changes in appetite/weight

• Changes in sleep patterns

• Sad, anxious or empty mood

• Hopelessness/pessimism

MD is often accompanied by persistent

physical symptoms that do not respond to

treatment, including:

• Headaches

• Chronic pain

• Digestive disorders

MD: What does it look like?

Major depression CAN be treated!

The great majority of people with

depression (even those whose

depression is extremely severe)

can be helped.

Unfortunately, most people with a

depressive illness do not seek

treatment.
