Depression is not just a passing mood of sadness experienced at one time or another during our lives. It is a common medical condition affecting 10 million Americans every year. This program talks with a psychiatrist who explains the causes, symptoms, and treatments for depression. A woman whose father killed himself speaks firsthand about what it's like to lose a loved one to suicide. The program also profiles a young girl and a man who were so depressed that they attempted suicide, and they explain how thankful they are to have received help they desperately wanted. Many people with depression never seek professional help. The program stresses the need for both early diagnosis and the treatment of depression.
