I had had some months of depression. Not serious enough to keep me from work. So, I guess you'd call that a mild depression.

When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder the year I turned 50, it was certainly a shock. But as a journalist, knowing a little bit about a lot of things, I didn't suffer the misconception that depression was all in my head or a mark of poor character. I knew it was a disease, and, like all diseases, was treatable.

It may feel like the more you know about depression and the many forms it can take, the more questions you have. That's how I feel.
