The . dictionary defines
depression as "dejection of
spirits."
That's something we all feel
from time to time, and les
entirely natural; after all, if we
assume that what goes up must
come down, a continued state of
elation is impossible.
But depression that persists,
the "blues" that go on too long . .
. that's. when you need to seek
some kind of professional lift.
Depression can be caused by a
number of Occurrences, such as
loneliness, bereavement,
financial or employment worries,
marital and family difficulties.
The early warning signs may be'
lack of sleep, loss of appetite, Or a
general Sluggishness in physical
or mental function.
3 Some people are better able to
cope with it than others', but for
everyone suffering from
depression, communication
talking things out is the first
step toward putting Matters right.
Sometimes, if you recognize
that the depression is more than a
passing feeling of gleiorniness
about the weather, or over an
argument with the boss,- it's

problem requires medical help,

Serious forms.
• The isolution lies in being
honest enough to discern that
depression has gone on too long,
or has sunk unusually law -- and
to seek tretment.
If you can pinpoint the cause,
as, for example, in the case of
recent widowhood, it's helpful to
find someone who has undergone
the same experience, and talk it
out with them. Increasingly,
self-help groups are being formed
for this very purpose, and you can
usually find out about them from
local, social agencies or church
groups.
If no such self-help group exists
-- start one. It will probably help
your depresSion, and other
people's as well.
