Depression
In terms of productivity and functioning on social, economic and personal scales, depression is the most common and costly health problem in North America (Beutler et. all, 212). No one escapes the ups and downs of life. People suffer disappointments, inconveniences and losses that may upset them all the time. Some get depressed and some don’t. In the case of a grievous loss it is natural to be depressed, but this fades with time and doesn’t impair daily functioning for very long. “The models synthesized in clinical depression produce more extreme negative evaluations of self and more utterly hopeless pessimistic expectations of the future than the models synthesized in normal depressed moods” (Teasedale, 156). With cases of clinical depression negative feelings can snowball until they are too overwhelming for the person to function. “Signs of clinical depression can include sleep and appetite disturbances, fatigue, an inability to concentrate, memory problems, a decreased sex drive, excessive feelings of guilt, helplessness , and hopelessness, and sometimes thoughts of suicide” (Stevic-Rust & Maximin, 5). The nature of clinical depression is far more elusive, however, than a list of symptoms can indicate.
