Caroline Parker, consultant pharmacist for adult mental health services at Central and North-West London NHS Foundation Trust in her September 2012 article: “depression, clinical features and diagnosis” shows the reader that depression involves more than lack of “emotional response to life struggles.” Instead she provides the reader with an in-depth insight into the condition; including its pathophysiology, symptoms and prognosis.

Three myths about depression include that antidepressants are the only thing you need to cure depression, that men do not get depression, and that it is not a real illness. Some people believe that an antidepressant can cure depression and that they could simply take a pill and feel better within hours ("10 Depression Myths"). Unfortunately, this is not the case because depression affects every person differently, so it may not have the same effect on two different people ("10 Depression Myths"). Also, people that take antidepressants will not experience the effects for at least six weeks as the body adapts to the changes ("10 Depression Myths"). This is important to know because many people will take antidepressants and not see a result quickly,

Major depression is a medical illness that is characterized by feeling of sadness, disappointment, and despair. It is a “whole body illness” that involves emotional, physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual problems. Also called major depressive disorder and clinical depression, it affects how a person feels, thinks and behaves.

Depression is steadily rising in today's society. According to Blue Cross Blue Shield, a health insurance company, in their article “Major Depression: The Impact on Overall Health”, a rate of 4.4 percent of people per year in the United States are diagnosed with depression which means nine million commercially insured people are affected (2018, para 6). Nine million is just commercially insured people and does not include people who are uninsured. This is because people who live in poverty have high rates of depression but can't be tracked because they are unable to afford treatment let alone insurance. The rate of depression is rising especially fast in millennials and teens. Blue Cross Blue Shield explains the diagnosis for milenails, people age 18-34, is up by forty-seven percent since 2013, and for adolescents, people age 12-17, they state diagnosis rate is up forty-seven percent for boys and sixty-five percent for girls since 2013 (2018, para 9). This could be because growing up in this timeframe is more stressful than past timeframes. Gender plays a role in the diagnosis rate. Blue Cross Blue Shields data shows women have a six percent diagnosis rate and men have a three percent diagnosis rate (2018, para 3). However the difference in diagnosis rate between men and women could be because women are more likely to go get
nd feeling depressed is a normal reaction to loss, life’s struggles, or an injured self esteem. But when these feelings become overwhelming, involve physical symptoms, and last for long periods of time, they can keep you from leading a normal active life. That is when it is time to seek for medical help.
According to Peter Kramer, MD, a professor of clinical psychiatry and human behavior, "There's no question that untreated depression can lead to longer episodes". Ignoring the symptoms of depression and choosing not to treat it is not only unwise, but possibly life-threatening. The risk that a person with untreated depression will act on suicidal thoughts increases, while undergoing successful treatment would result in these thoughts going away completely. Along with this, not treating depression can make it more difficult to treat other medical conditions. There is no benefit to not seeking help, only a vast array of problems that will be added.
