Depression

"I say unto all, be of good cheer...; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you" (D&C 61:36).

All people have experienced situations in their life that resulted in them feeling "down" or "blue." These feelings usually pass and are a normal part of our life experience. However, if depressive feelings become too severe or last too long, then depression becomes a clinical problem and requires intervention. There are several types of depression, and in most cases all can be treated with medication and therapy.
