“as a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way
you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings
of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of
emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at
work and at home.”
