About 1 of 6 adults experience an episode of major depressive disorder at some point in their lives, affecting more than 16 million American adults each year. Some symptoms of depression include feeling sad or experiencing low mood, lack of pleasure in doing things you once enjoyed, sleeping too much or too little, eating too much or too little, feeling guilty or worthless, and recurrent thoughts of death. Symptoms are present for at least 2 weeks and often last several weeks to months. The symptoms negatively impact your life, keeping you from finding joy in your relationships, school, work, and life. Other depressive disorders include persistent depressive , seasonal affective disorder, and postpartum depression.
If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression, it is often difficult to reach out for help and support.

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
