    Often caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals, which can be corrected with medicine.

    Get diagnosed and take your meds. It’s a world of difference.

      To be clear, this doesn’t necessarily mean “get diagnosed for depression” either.

      No, as others have suggested, get a blood test.

      Accelerating depression was surprisingly a symptom of my cancer. So being depressed can also be a symptom of something far more serious than just depression.

      My depression is still bad, but the difference between taking my cancer meds (not psychiatric meds) and not taking my cancer meds, is a world of difference, depression-wise.

        This is very poor wording. Depression is one of the deadliest illnesses in young people.
