“Depression is a severe disorder,

and one that can often go undetected in some people's lives because it can creep up on you. Depression doesn't need to strike all at once; it can be a gradual and nearly unnoticeable withdrawal from your active life and enjoyment of living. Or it can be caused by a clear event, such as the breakup of a long-term relationship, a divorce, family problems, etc. Finding and understanding the causes of depression isn’t nearly as important as getting appropriate and effective treatment for it.” - John M. Grohol, Psy.D.
