Almost everybody goes through periods when they feel sad or down in the dumps. This feeling of depression can occur at any time and can affect anybody. Brief periods of depressed mood are expected to occur once in awhile; however, when the depressive symptoms persist and cause difficulties in functioning, the consequences can be very serious. College students become prone to depression when they are attempting to make adjustments, feel overwhelmed by pressures, or lose something or somebody close to them. Depressed mood becomes a very serious problem when it is accompanied by other symptoms, such as changes in eating or sleeping, loss of concentration, or thoughts of suicide. Although many depressed people have a tendency to withdraw from others, it is extremely important to become aware of the symptoms and seek help when they are interrupting your life.
