function prozac_symptoms() { document.writeln('Depression is a medical illness that disrupts your life. It involves your whole body. Depression affects your thoughts, emotions, behavior, and the way you feel about yourself. Depression can also change the way you think and feel about other people, about situations at work or in a social setting, or even about things such as your garden, your house, or your clothing.

\ Everyone is different, and the symptoms you experience may vary from those experienced by others. Does one or more of the following symptoms sound familiar to you?

\ \ If you have feelings of wanting to harm yourself or others, please call 911 or your doctor, or go to the Emergency Room of the nearest hospital immediately.

\ If you or someone you care about is experiencing five or more of these symptoms for longer than 2 weeks, if suicide is a serious concern, or if symptoms are severe enough to interfere with daily activities, visit your doctor (or encourage your friend to do so) for an evaluation. You or your loved one may be suffering from depression.

\ If you are depressed, the symptoms that are making you hurt may also be hurting your family, your performance at work, and your relationships. Remember, these are real symptoms of a real illness. Don\'t blame yourself for feeling awful. Instead, see your doctor, follow his or her treatment advice, and begin taking your life back.
