Depression Self-Test
Is it possible that I suffer from depression?
Depression is a serious disease that affects millions of people each year. It is not a personal weakness or condition that can be willed or wished away. Although there is no known single cause of depression, it is believed that an interaction between genetic, biochemical, environmental and psychosocial factors may play a role. To learn more about Depression and to get in touch with one of iTherapy’s counselors visit Education and Resources Page for Depression.
