Depression in general is more than feeling sad once in a while. 

Depression is a feeling that is present almost every day, 

for most of the day, for over a period of two or more weeks.

depression,to develop a counseling plan can to help you deal with your 

issues and emotions. 

Depression can have a negative effect on your energy, relationships, 

family dynamics, friendships, social life, work, and education.

How you can address your depression to help you feel better.
