It's extremely important to know whether you may be suffering depression when you've had low moods for a prolonged period of time. Firstly, depression --- despite its debilitating nature --- is very treatable. Treatment may include anything from regular exercise, to cognitive behavioral therapy, to antidepressant medications to help ease the symptoms.

Secondly, depression which stresses the body is associated with a higher risk of nearly every major health issue from diabetes to heart disease. Indeed, depression is the leading cause of physical disability in the world!
