“It is a common and serious mood disorder that alters how individuals think, feel, and
behave. Unlike being unhappy, depression is an intense feeling of deep sadness and despair that
can last for days, weeks, or even months. The symptoms can include feelings of hopelessness,
rejection, poor concentration, lack of energy, sleep problems, and sometimes suicidal thoughts.”
This source tells the reader that depression is actually a mood disorder and that depression is not
a choice. But depression can make one feel hopelessness and this is what they label a mood
disorder. They even go so far to saying that depression is a serious medical condition that affects
8 percent of the United States but honestly depression seems to be much more frequent whether
it is labeled as a mood disorder of not because everyone can feel a wave of depression but does it

symptoms. Coexisting pain complicates the treatment of depression and is associated with worse
depression outcomes.” This source has actual statistics which gives a good background about
depression and even explains how many patients experience this which would make the side that
is decided to argue about very reliable. Adding statistics to this paper is probably one of the key
things I could do for this argument because this not only makes the side chosen reliable but this
also gives pathos and logos to the audience by tieing in real life experiences and how those

“The objective of this study is to develop the Depression Medication Choice decision aid
for use during primary care encounters, and to test its efficacy by conducting a clustered practical
randomized trial comparing the decision aid to usual depression care in primary care practices.”
This source tells about depression medication and how this could be a choice to aid depression.
This also tests if this medication even works enough by giving experiences of actual people

This is a documentary that speaks about depression and how depression can creep up on
you. In this source, this documentary can be used to dig up more facts about depression and even
explain how to deal with depression. I could not really find quotes for this because one it is a
documentary so one would actually have to listen to it. But listening to this for someone who has
depression would be a great idea because this could help out even if it just helps for the moment

of depression can be overcome and avoided.” With this source it ties in the fact that depression
can strike at any point. It also explains what I said about depression being temporary and this
explains the effects of depression on your mind and that this is not a choice but happiness is a
choice. Happiness is a choice because anything can make you happy but I also believe happiness
just happens, just like depression something has to trigger it in order for it to happen.

defined single correct answer indicated by feedback.” With this source, this source ties the
decisions we as people make and this is why depression takes its course that it does. I could see
why this could be valid because I feel as if we do have some part in why we may be depressed or
under the weather because our emotions are tied to our actions and vice versa. This could be why

“Depression has been associated with impaired neural processing of reward and
punishment.” Depression is basically a disorder where your mind and nerves allows your body
and emotions to fall in line with the symptoms of depression. This is caused by situations in your
life that have caused a temporary trauma in ones life that can be remembered at any moment and
that is when your mind sends signals to your brain that makes you feel depression.
