AB Major  depression  is  one  of  the  most  common  forms  of  mental  illness  in  the  United  States  with  as  many  as  6%  of  the  population  depressed  at  any  given  moment  (point  prevalence),  and  an  estimated  10%  of  people  becoming  depressed  during  their  lifetime  (lifetime  prevalence).  The  symptoms  of  depression  can  be  both  psychologic  and  physiologic,  and  are  often  subtle  and  unrecognized  by  patients  and  health-care  professionals.  Symptoms  may  include  intense  feelings  of  sadness  and  despair,  sleep  disturbances  (too  much  or  too  little),  anorexia,  fatigue,  somatic  complaints,  and  suicidal  thoughts.
