Depression: A Complex, Common Condition
More than 15 million people in the US have some degree of depression. Yet many either don’t recognize that they have depression or don’t realize how treatable it is. What’s more, their loved ones don’t necessarily know how to help or what to say.
As a licensed clinical social worker at MarinHealth Medical Center, Kristin Wolcott Farese works with clinically depressed people every day. Here, she shares her knowledge regarding the causes, symptoms, and treatment of depression. She also touches upon some of the latest research into a condition that impacts quality of life for far too many Americans.
