Depression might be among the worst illnesses we know, but it's  highly treatable. Discovering what works might involve weeks or  months - and occasionally even years - of frustration and heartbreak,  but with the range of options we now have, your prospects are  excellent. 
 
Furthermore, we're not helpless bystanders. The decisions  we make affecting our lifestyles can dramatically better the odds in  our favor. To those of you, who are depressed, please look for help - you shouldn't have to hurt one day longer than you have to. 
 
For those  of you fighting with your treatments don't give up hope. A more  brilliant future lies ahead.
