3. SO WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

I think by now I need to give you some facts about depression. I'm not a medical person, so I have taken most of the following material from the website of the American National Institutes Of Mental Health, specifically from the section dealing with depression. I hope it gives you a bit more understanding.
Depression is a serious medical illness; it’s not something that you have made up in your head. It’s more than just feeling "down in the dumps" or "blue" for a few days. It’s feeling "down" and "low" and "hopeless" for weeks or months (or more!) at a time.
