Lesson40 Depression
Everyone wants to be happy, but many things happen in our lives to make ussad. Our favourite pets can die, we can do poorly at school, closefriends can move out of town. When a loved one dies or when we deal withdivorce or other serious difficulties in life, we all feel sad for a time,and grieving can help us work through the problem. Sadness is an importantway to cope with loss or tragedy.There's a difference, though, between the “depression” that most of ustalk about when we talk about feeling sad, and the kind of depressionthat's very serious and sometimes life —threatening. The depression thatmay threaten our life is also known as clinical depression. It is aboutfeeling so sad and hopeless that you sometimes can't imagine being happy.It's about being miserable1 so much of the time that you don't feel likeparticipating in life. People who are chronically2 depressed3 usually havephysical problems like stomachaches, headaches, and lack of energy. Asyou probably know, some people experience such deep depression that theybelieve suicide is the only way out of their pain.

depression ? 抑郁
divorce ? 离婚
grieving ? 悲痛
tragedy ? 灾难
clinical 临床的
participate ? 参加,参与
chronically 长期的
suicide ? 自杀

抑郁
每个人都想快乐,但是生活中许多事让我们悲伤。我们最喜爱的宠物死了,我们在学校成绩不好,亲密的朋友将搬离城镇。当爱人去世,生活中遇到离婚或其他重大的困难时,我们都会悲伤一段时间,忧伤可以帮我们度过这段困难时期。悲伤是应对失败或灾难的重要方法。
但是,我们大多数人在感到悲伤时所说的“抑郁”和那种非常严重有时甚至会威胁生命的“抑郁”是有差别的。
可能会威胁生命的抑郁也就是我们所知的临床上的抑郁症。它是指你感到极度悲伤绝望以至无法想象快乐,它是指你对生活感到痛苦以至不想继续活下去。长期抑郁的人经常有胃痛、头痛和疲惫等生理上的疾病。正如你可能知道的,一些人极度抑郁以至相信自杀是使他们脱离痛苦的唯一办法。
