Depression often brings feelings of fatigue, difficulty
concentrating, and a lack of enjoyment of things you normally find pleasurable.
Mild depression keeps you from functioning well and feeling your best, but with
treatment, symptoms usually subside. If depression persists despite natural
treatments, seek professional help immediately (Althea, 118).
