Depression is not a choice. Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease. In the United States alone, more than 17 million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease. Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not “crazy” or “weak”. They have a serious yet highly treatable disease.
Feeling down? You’re not alone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And that’s what has scientists confused. If depression causes harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer. Depression may have an evolutionary (进化) benefit. It may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection (感染).
Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive(免疫反应性的) condition known as inflammation (炎症)，even when they are not infected. For several years they have been finding that genes (基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system. Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system. These findings suggested that depression was somehow linked to the body’s ability to fight disease .

抑郁症不是一种选择。更贴切地说，抑郁症是像高血压或心脏病一样真实存在的疾病。仅仅在美国就有超过一千七百万人收到抑郁症的困扰，其中女性患者是男性患者的2倍。抑郁症是不分种族和社会经济条件的。每个人都可能被抑郁症困扰，包括那些既非 “疯子”也不是“弱者”的人，他们也会有严重的抑郁症，但是它的治愈率是非常高的。
感觉失落吗？你并不是一个人有这种感觉。似乎抑郁症相当普遍，但这的确是事实。每十个成年人中就又一个饱受抑郁之苦。这也是科学家们感到迷惑的。如果抑郁会对人的身体造成损害，为什么它在人类中这么普遍？一些科学家认为他们可能有答案。因为抑郁可能会使人进化。它会提高人们对抗感染的能力。
科学家已经知道抑郁的人们会体现出一种免疫反应性，即炎症，即使他们没有被感染。数年以来科学家们也发现与抑郁症关联的基因会影响人体免疫系统功能。压力会使人抑郁，同时它也会改变人体免疫系统。这些发现意味着抑郁有可能与人体对抗疾病的能力有关系。
