21、How much do you know about depression? Recently, the Ministry of Education said China would include screening（筛查）for depression in students’ health examination. Students will take tests to see whether they are experiencing depression. This is to improve students’ mental（心理的）health.

It’ s normal for people to feel down or sad sometimes. Most of the time, these bad feelings go after a little while. Depression is not the same. According to the World Health Organization, with depression, people experience bad feelings for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks. And it might last months or even years. More seriously, people exercising depression may hurt or even kill themselves.

Depression also influences the way people act or how well they do in school or at work. It can affect（影响）their energy, sleep and eating, too. If people are depressed, they find it hard to enjoy things like before. Most of all, it influences what people think about themselves. People going through depression often feel alone. It might seem like no one understands or cares.

But depression is not a person’s fault（过错）. It is not a personal failing. It can start small. For teenagers, friends, family and school can have a big influence on their feelings. If they experience such pressure, they can easily feel depressed.

Depression is not the end of life. If you are unhappy for more than two weeks and have some problems of depression, it is time to look for help.

You can talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or teacher about how you feel. You can also go to see a doctor. Living a healthy life can help you feel better as well. For example, you can try to do exercise, get enough sleep and eat healthy food.
