什麽是忧郁症?) E1 H* O* N# F) }- D5 H3 i' m) `
忧郁症是一种情绪障碍,使得患者处于一种悲哀的情绪之中。忧郁症可以改变一个人的思维、情感、和行为,和单纯的情绪“低落”不同。忧郁症不是个性缺陷,也不是可以通过意志驱赶开去的。当抑郁情绪持续存在或者已影响到每天的生活,可能就说明需要寻求专业人员的帮助了。( R( [5 |+ k$ [0 k& z( T6 O6 l0 O

Depression is a mood disorder. It is when a person feels very sad. Depression can change the way a person thinks, feels and behaves. It is not the same as feeling “blue”. It is not a sign of personal weakness or something that can be wished away. When a depressed mood stays for a long time or gets in the way of everyday living, it may be a sign of a serious depression that needs1 {3 J# @" s+ @ c5 h) J
