Signs of Depression

Depression, known as major depressive disorder, is a mental disorder that can develop at any point in one's life. It can affect all aspects of life, making it difficult to build and maintain personal relationships, complete tasks at work, socialize, or enjoy day-to-day activities. This debilitating disorder is thought to be caused by an imbalance of chemicals associated with nerve cells. A recent warning by the FDA reports that the use of smoking cessation drug Chantix has been implicated in the onset of depression in some users.

The most common signs of depression are a consistently negative mood, low energy, and a loss of interest in activities that most people would consider enjoyable. A person may suddenly have no desire to do things that he or she was regularly excited about in the past. He or she may express self-deprecating thoughts, display a loss of self-esteem, or otherwise suggest self-hating thoughts. A depressed person will largely withdraw from social activities except for obligatory functions, such as work and necessary errands.

Severe depression is a tragic disorder that afflicts many people at some point in their lives, with some studies indicating that as many as 17% of Americans will experience a depressive episode in their lives. While some causes of depression are currently unknown and difficult to address, other causes can be avoided.

The use of Chantix has now been correlated with an increased risk of depression, which has caused the FDA to issue a black box warning on Chantix packaging. If you have suffered from depression while taking Chantix, consider contacting a lawyer immediately. The manufacturers of Chantix may be liable for any injuries and damages that you have suffered as a result of depression and you may be entitled to compensation.
