Here the lows of depression can alternate with days or weeks of mania extreme elation, unreasonably grandiose thoughts, and inappropriate, sometimes destructive actions. We'll discuss other types of depression later. You are grandiose beyond the reality of your creativity. If four or more of the symptoms have been a regular part of your life for more than two weeks or regularly tend to interfere with your life, a consultation with a physician experienced in diagnosing and treating depression is in order. You need not suffer any longer.
Treatment is readily available.
Symptoms can be relieved, usually in a matter of weeks. Please talk to your doctor. Yes, many people who have clinical depression feel down, sad, disappointed, and upset. Pain after a loss, for example, is a natural part of the healing process, not a sign of clinical depression. On the other hand, some people do have a clinical depression and do not feel unusual amounts of sorrow, sadness, or emotional hurt.
