Without question, you or someone you know has experienced depression. Perhaps you found this video because you are looking for help in overcoming depression. Help comes in many forms and here we explore popular forms of therapy that are used to treat depression, as well as how psychologists define depression.

Selfdoubt is common with depression and, as you'll see in the video, it can mess with your thought processes. You might ask yourself, "Why am I depressed?" or even, "Am I depressed?" Depression is a serious issue that is too often overlooked as just sadness or a personality flaw. If you think that you may be experiencing symptoms of depression, do not hesitate to seek out help.
