		Are you feeling blue?
			Depression is a real medical illness that can happen at any time of the year. Depression seems to be related to a chemical imbalance in the brain that makes it hard for the cells to communicate with one another. Depression also seems to run in families. Depression can be linked to events in your life, such as the death of someone you love, a divorce or job loss. Taking certain medicines, abusing drugs or alcohol, or having other illnesses can also lead to depression. Depression isn't caused by personal weakness, laziness or lack of willpower. See this familydoctor.org Web page to learn more about symptoms of depression and treatments that are available.
