Depression
Depression can be a psychological and/or a psychiatric condition, depending on its root causes. It is common and treatable, but it can come in a variety of forms and levels of severity.
Psychotherapy benefits many patients suffering from depression. In some cases, anti-depressants may be required to control a chemical imbalance.
There can be relapses of depression in times of stress, so it is important to have a support system.
