What is Depression?

Periods when you are feeling blue or sad are just part of life, and usually last a couple of days.

Depression lasts for longer periods of time, can interfere with daily life routines and can adversely affect any and all relationships in various ways:

  • Emotions which are constantly sad or “empty”
  • Hopeless or pessimistic feelings
  • A belief that one is guilty, worthless or helpless
  • They may be irritable or restless
  • Disinterest in activities, hobbies or sex
  • Fatigue, insomnia and diminished energy
  • Difficulty focusing, recalling details and decision-making
  • Changes in appetite
  • Suicidal thoughts or attempts
  • Various persistent physical problems (aches/pains/problems)

Major Depressive Disorder (or Major Depression, Clinical Depression): Depression which inhibits your ability to, or decrease your interest in, conducting regular life activities (like working, sleeping, studying and eating). It can last all day, for nearly every day, for two weeks or longer.

Chronic Depression: Major depression that has a two-year (or more) duration.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD, or Dysthymic Disorder or Dysthymia): People who experience less severe depressive symptoms for at least two years.

“I feel a lot being just being on the EMPowerPlus. I have family members who don’t live around here, and when they had seen me for the first time since being off all that medication, they have commented on how totally different a person I am. They said even looking into my eyes they see a huge difference. That the lights are on and somebody’s home. So, that’s a great compliment to me and and to the product that it does work. I find that being on the EMPowerPlus, I’m able to handle a lot more stress in my life than I used to be able to. I have a full-time job, which I hadn’t been able to do for probably 12 years, and I work in a very stressful environment. For anyone who’s considering going on EMPower, absolutely, give it a try. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.”
