Clinical depression isn't just about being sad. It's a serious condition that affects how you think, feel and behave.

- Diminishing interest in activities
- Changes in appetite
- Poor sleeping habits
- Loss of energy and increased fatigue
- Lowering of libido
- Restlessness and irritability
- Misplaced guilt or low self-esteem
- Thoughts of suicide or self-harm

Common myths about depression
There's a lot of information available about depression, but there might be even more misinformation. For example, it's a common misconception that depression only affects women. This is not true. While depression is more common in women than in men, it can affect men as well.
You might think that depression needs a triggering incident to cause it, like a sad situation. That's also false. Depression can affect you no matter how well your life is going, and this can make it hard to understand your feelings of depression. Dr. Hershman is always ready to talk to you about your conflicting emotions.
