Symptoms of Depression: persistent sadness or unhappiness, lethargy, loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities, irritability sudden change in appetite, disruption of normal sleep pattern, physical discomfort, difficulty thinking or concentrating, thoughts of suicide or death.

Everyone gets down in the dumps sometimes. But depression is different. In Clinical Depression, feeling sad or losing interest in activities or hobbies can go on for weeks or months. It can happen for no apparent reason. Depression can devastate a person's life, affecting family relationships, friendships, and the ability to be effective at work or school.

Depression is not a sign of weakness; depression is a chemical brain disorder much like an ailment anywhere in your body. Because your brain is an electrochemical organ, depression involves electrical and chemical changes in the brain that are detrimental to a quality of life.

Medical researchers are always searching for new compounds to treat the brain for disorders like depression. The Atlanta Institute of Medicine & Research is currently enrolling qualified individuals in a depression research study of an investigational medication.

Unlike people with several other anxiety disorders, people with GAD don't characteristically avoid certain situations as a result of their disorder. When impairment associated with GAD is mild, people with the disorder may be able to function in social settings or on the job. If severe, however, GAD can be very debilitating, making it difficult to carry out even the most ordinary daily activities.

GAD affects about 4 million adult Americans' and about twice as many women as men.' The disorder comes on gradually and can begin across the life cycle, though the risk is highest between childhood and middle age.'

It is diagnosed when someone spends at least 6 months worrying excessively about a number of everyday problems. There is evidence that genes play a modest role in GAD." GAD is commonly treated with medications. GAD rarely occurs alone, however; it is usually accompanied by another anxiety disorder, depression, or substance abuse." These other conditions must be treated along with GAD.
