About 16 million Americans live with major depressive disorder, also known as clinical depression. Clinical depression is more than just a down period, or a slump: it is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest. Clinical depression can ultimately interfere with your day-to-day life and worsen existing problems such as chronic pain or substance abuse issues.\u00a0 Depression is also not one size fits all, and the symptoms can vary. Some symptoms of depression include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Persistent sadness (feeling sad, empty, hopeless)<\/li>\n<li>Loss of interest in pleasure in things you used to enjoy<\/li>\n<li>Anger, irritability, unexplainable frustration<\/li>\n<li>Sleep disturbances, insomnia, or sleeping too much (hypersomnia)<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue or loss of energy<\/li>\n<li>Reduced appetite and weight loss, or increased food cravings and weight gain<\/li>\n<li>Trouble concentrating, or slowed thinking<\/li>\n<li>Feelings of guilt or worthlessness<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts of death or suicidal thinking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You are not alone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have been diagnosed with depression, or think you are experiencing depression symptoms, you don\u2019t have to suffer alone. There are resources to help you manage your mental health and wellness. Depression is not only treatable, but recovery is possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Talk to your primary care provider.<\/strong> Your provider is the first stop for your concerns and symptoms, physical or mental. Your primary care provider can assess your needs, help create a treatment plan, and connect you to mental health resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find a nearby therapist or psychiatrist.<\/strong> A therapist, or other trained mental health provider, can help you work through past traumas as well as current issues with your job, your relationships, or your lifestyle that may be contributing to your state of mind. Therapists can also help you find ways of coping with stressors. Here\u2019s a convenient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/therapists\">online search engine<\/a> to help you located someone near you who takes your insurance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let your loved ones know.<\/strong> If you feel safe to do so, communicate with those close to you about your depression and mental health.

If you\u2019re not ready to speak with a doctor or therapist, that\u2019s OK\u2014there are still steps that you can take to manage your well-being.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stay physically active. <\/strong>Make sure you make time to address your basic physical needs.

Explain to them how you feel, if you can. If you can&#8217;t talk about it, that\u2019s OK \u2013 just ask them to be with you, maybe accompanying you on one of your activities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice relaxing.<\/strong> For many people, the changes that come with depression \u2013 no longer keeping up with our usual activities and responsibilities, feeling increasingly sad and hopeless \u2013 lead to anxiety. Since physical relaxation can lead to mental relaxation, practicing relaxing is another way to help yourself. Try deep breathing, taking a warm bath, or just finding a quiet, comfortable, peaceful place and repeat comforting things to yourself like &#8220;IT&#8217;S OK.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a depression self-management app<\/strong>.
