Depression Clinic - What to Expect, What to Bring, What to Say

Depression clinics are off shoots of hospitals in your area.

Making the decision to get help for your depression could be one of the most important decisions of your life. The counseling and possible medication that you can at the depression clinic can change your life, giving you hope where you used to feel hopeless.

You will need to bring a list of any medications you are taking, your insurance card (if you have insurance, otherwise you may be referred to a low income or free depression clinic. Don't get upset if this happens, you'll still get the help you need,) and you'll need to come prepared to tell the truth.

Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression

Because it is misunderstood, childhood depression is often misdiagnosed. Childhood depression goes far beyond just being sad. A depressed child loses interest in things they normally enjoy doing, wants to be alone and rarely laughs aloud.

Depression in teenagers/adolescents is pretty common. Teenage girls are at higher risk of becoming depressed than boys. Depressed teens tend to exhibit anti-social behavior and many abuse drugs, alcohol and/or smoke.

Depression later in life is not easily identified because many diseases that affect the elderly mask the symptoms of depression. Unlike in other age groups, older persons (over 60) suffer from depression are more likely to commit or try to commit suicide.
