Major Depression is a prolonged, deep sensation of sadness or feeling "down", blue, hopeless, helpless or worthless. The following are common symptoms associated with depression:
About one in six Americans experience an episode of depression at some time during his/her adult life. (Approximately 1 in 6 of these will commit suicide in the course of his/her illness.) Often, but not always, depression runs in families, and the course it takes is quite variable. Some people may only experience one significant depressive episode in their entire life, while others suffer with chronic depression which requires lifetime treatment. Currently approved treatments may have side effects which some people cannot tolerate, may take 3 to 6 weeks to work, and may not work at all in one-third of patients treated. Consequently, in collaboration with major pharmaceutical companies, Carman Research has continued for decades to conduct monitored clinical testing on newer agents which offer the hope of minimizing these shortcomings.
