No matter what race, culture, gender or age, you can experience depression. Every individual experiences depression differently. Depression can be caused by the loss of loved one, transition from one environment to another, feeling stuck, a break up, or other losses or changes in one's life. No matter what has caused your depression, variety of treatments and resources are available to you.
Depression can be a lonely place. A place where you are surrounded by your darkest and deepest thoughts. A place that feels isolated. A place that prevents you from moving forward, getting out of bed, and having a fulfilling life. Depression can become so powerful that instead of having hope, you can become consumed with feelings of sadness and hopelessness.
