HIV and Depression

Dealing with HIV and depression can be very difficult. Everyone has had days where they were feeling a little "blue". We all have been "down in the dumps" or felt "blah" But when these feelings last longer than a couple weeks you may be suffering from depression. Depression affects 10 million Americans each year and it's estimated that 1 in 4 adults will have at least one depressive episode in their lifetime. HIV and depression are also common companions from the time of a new HIV diagnosis.
