Depressive symptoms usually develop over several weeks, although some sufferers may experience milder symptoms of the disease for months before their condition results in a full Major Depression. Untreated, Major Depression can last six to 12 months, with 40 percent of individuals still having symptoms sufficient to meet the diagnosis after one year. More than 85 percent to 90 percent of people with depression can be treated effectively. In most cases, an individual eventually will experience a complete remission of symptoms. However, approximately 25 percent to 33 percent of those untreated will continue to have some symptoms and associated difficulty with daily life that can linger for months or years. Some people may only have a single episode of depression. However, more than 50 percent of those affected will experience another episode termed recurrent depression. Left untreated, this represents a chronic disease, with each episode increasing the risk for another bout of the disease. Seventy percent of those who have two episodes can expect to have a third, while 90 percent of individuals experiencing three episodes will have a fourth episode. In any given year, about 20 million American adults, suffer from a depressive disorder. The economic cost is estimated at $30.4 billion a year, but the cost in human suffering cannot be estimted. Depressive illnesses often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person. But much of this suffering is unnecessary. Most people with a depressive illness do not seek treatment, although the great majority--even those whose depression is extremely severe--can be helped. Unfortunately, many people do not recognize that depression is a treatable illness. If you feel that you or someone you care about is one of the many undiagnosed depressed people in this country, the information presented here may help you take the steps that may save your own or someone else's life. What is a Depressive Disorder? A depressive disorder is a condition that involves the body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood or just feeling sad. When someone has depression, they often feel overwhelmed and unable to cope or enjoy the things they usually would enjoy. People who suffer from depression are suffering from a treatable, real condition. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with a depressive disorder cannot merely "pull themselves together" and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression. New research has suggested that there may be something in cigarette smoke that has antidepressant properties, which explains why cigarette smoking is much more common among depressed patients. A survey of 3,000 individuals in the St. Louis area confirmed that lifetime frequency of major depression was more common among smokers than nonsmokers (6.6 vs. 2.9 percent) This study also demonstrated that smokers who reported at least one episode of major depression were less likely to succeed in smoking cessation programs than smokers without depression (14 vs. 28 percent). These findings have been confirmed many times over.
