Read the following story about Valerie. Try to guess the meanings of
the underlined words.
Valerie is depressed. She doesn’t know what causes her depression.
She only knows that she feels very emotional; a lot of the time for no
good reason. Bright sunny days, parties, and other things that make
most people happy don’t seem to affect the way she feels. For a long
time, Valerie didn’t know that she was depressed. She just thought that
she was a naturally sad person.
When Valerie was a teenager, her mother often checked her
temperature because she thought that Valerie was getting sick. A few
times, her mother her to the doctor and made him check her blood
pressure, heart, breathing, and everything else she could think of to
make sure that Valerie was OK.

When Valerie got older and she told her doctor about it, she found
out that she had many of the symptoms of depression. She usually had
very little energy - she sometimes stayed in bed for whole days at a
time. She often didn’t feel like eating. Also, she couldn’t reach the
phone from her bed, she never answered the phone.
Valerie went to see a psychiatrist, who told her that depression is a
common problem, one that he sees all the time. He helped her choose
the right treatment. She is taking some medicine that helps her feel
less depressed. In addition, once a week she has psychotherapy
where she talks to someone about herself and her problems.
