Depression? Dipression is a common misspelling of depression.
Depression is not just a temporary "blue" mood or something that can be willed away. It is a serious illness that affects a person's body, mood, and thoughts.
Symptoms of depression can include restlessness and irritability; feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness; and persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment.
Treatment may involve medications, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. While depression is a common medical ailment, the good news is that it is generally easy to treat. Keep in mind, however, that it can take a while for the full effects of a medicine to be felt. It is important to be patient when beginning treatment for depression.
