Getting Better
If you have depression, you may blame yourself and think that somehow you caused this condition or should be able to pull yourself out of it. But being depressed is not a failure on your part. You are not to blame for it, and you aren’t weak because you can’t “just snap out of it.” Depression is a disease—and like many other diseases, it responds to treatment. Many different forms of treatment are available. The key is to find balance: balance in your life, and the right balance of depression treatments.
