When it's more than just the blues 不仅只是感到悲伤 Feeling down in the dumps every so often is a normal part of life. But when you're gripped by an unrelenting sadness or hopelessness that keeps you from going about your usual routine, it's time to pay attention: it's the hallmark sign of clinical depression, and an estimated 7% of adults will experience it, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Even with this telltale sign in place, it's tough for a depressed person to know if she really has the disease. 生活中时不时的情绪低落是正常的。但当你被无尽的悲伤或绝望笼罩、无法进行正常活动时，你需要当心了：这是临床抑郁症的标志性迹象，据称7%的成年人会患临床抑郁症，美国国家心理卫生研究所表示。即使有了这一迹象，抑郁症患者也很难弄清自己是否患有该疾病。 |
