Most people at some stage ask themselves “Do I have depression? Am I depressed?”. There is good reason for this…
It is difficult to assess whether you’re depressed. You’re busy focusing on jobs, bills, shopping, children, and all of life’s challenges. Focusing on your health is often an after thought.
When depressed, you often think you feel “normal”, because that is how you are used to feeling. It’s often later before you realise you might be depressed. But that means you’ve lived with it untreated for many weeks or months.
However the effects of depression can be devastating.
Depression increases the chance of risky behaviours such as drugs and alcohol addiction.
