Severe Depression & SSDI
Caring Virginia Attorneys Providing Assistance
People who do not suffer from depression may not understand a person's inability to turn off the feelings associated with a depressive disorder. But depression is a real disorder that affects many individuals in the United States. In fact, more than 14 million Americans experience symptoms of depression every year.
There is no single cause for depression. The disorder can stem from a family history of depression; a traumatic event, such as the death of a loved one, a brain disorder, serious medical conditions or any type of psychological disorder. Women are twice as likely to suffer from depression as men.
