Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or experiencing a difficult time. It’s a serious condition that requires understanding, treatment and a good recovery plan.

Depression can occur with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorders (including PTSD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and substance abuse.
