Depressive disorders have been with man since the beginning of recorded history. Although depression is commonly used to describe a temporary depressed mood, clinical depression is a serious, often disabling condition that can significantly affect a person’s work, family, school life, sleeping and eating habits, general health and ability to enjoy life. The course of clinical depression varies widely. It can occur once in a person’s lifetime, or can have multiple recurrences. It can appear either gradually or suddenly, and either last for a few months or be a lifelong disorder.

The most comprehensive treatment for clinical depression is psychotherapy, either individual or group treatment, and medication management.
