FAQs
Depression, even in the most severe cases, is often treatable. As no two cases of depression are the same, each patient works with their health care providers to create an effective treatment plan. Common treatments are antidepressant medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. However, in cases where these treatments are not effective in reducing symptoms, electroconvulsive therapy, repetitive transcranial stimulation, and other brain stimulation therapies can be explored.
Feeling sad occasionally is normal. However, for about 7% of American adults each year, clinical depression is a serious medical condition that significantly affects work, relationships, and daily life. It is different from temporary sadness, grief, or disappointment following stressful events such as bereavement, job loss, or relationship difficulties. If these feelings persist beyond a reasonable period or interfere with your functioning, it is important to seek professional support.

While there is not always a clear cause for conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, we know that it is partly genetic and partly due to non-genetic factors that include early life stress. There is no one cause for depression, and many factors should be taken into account in understanding the underlying cause. Some potential factors are recent stressful or traumatic events, hormonal changes, certain medications, and genetics.
