About Depression
Like other illnesses such as diabetes or high blood pressure, depression is a real illness with real causes. More than 18 million Americans suffer from some type of depression, and one in eight people needs treatment for depression during his or her lifetime. According to a Johns Hopkins study, attorneys suffer from depression at a much higher rate than the general public. Depression is not a character flaw. It is neither a "mood" nor a personal weakness that you can change at will by "pulling yourself together."
