Periods of depression can be common.
Some people have serious depressive episodes, others have mild depressive episodes.
Some people get better without professional help.
Others require treatment, like medication or therapy, to feel better.
Depressive episodes arent a sign of weakness.
Despite your best efforts, they may still happen to you from time to time.
This may stem from your brain chemistry or it may depend on environmental factors.
Building mental strength may help prevent some depressive episodes but not all.
Feeling depressed isnt a sign of weakness.
It can happen to anyone.
