You can lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, lose confidence in yourself, and feel worthless. Some people have recurring thoughts of death or suicide, and can often feel trapped or desperately alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Depression can be a very painful and frightening experience.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0For many, depression can show itself in angry outbursts, frequent crying, irritability, or problems at home, work, or school. Depression can feel like you are all alone, and you can\u2019t imagine that anyone else feels as much pain as you do. Well, that\u2019s not true. Depression affects 40 million families each year, and other people feel and have felt similar to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>People are reluctant to seek help for many reasons,\u00a0<\/strong>including embarrassment, shame, fear, and social stigma. For some people, hiding their depression seems like the only solution. For others, finding negative ways to cope (like excessive drinking, overeating, or withdrawal from others) is the only way to get through the day. Many people suffer in silence, waiting a long time to find ways to feel better and get the help they deserve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Although it might be hard to imagine, if you or someone you care about struggles with depression, people can and do get better.<\/strong>\u00a0Help, support, and treatment can make you feel better, and it all starts with a first step.
