Depression is not just a case of the blues or feeling down. People who are depressed can’t simply “snap out of it.”

If you live in Orange County and you have been struggling over an extended period of time with feelings of sadness, lack of energy, and have lost interest in activities you used to enjoy, you may be battling depression.

I can help.

Depression is a treatable condition. If you think you may be depressed, see if you identify with the following statements:

1. I often experience feelings of sadness.
2. I often experience low energy, even if I’ve had enough sleep.
3. I have a strong sense of dread or hopelessness.
4. I’m often irritable for no discernable reason.
5. I often find it hard to focus or concentrate.
6. I have mostly lost interest in sex.
7. I’m having more trouble sleeping than I used to.
8. I often feel helpless or worthless.
9.  I frequently think about death.
10. I seem to have trouble enjoying ordinary, pleasurable activities.
