It's one thing to be sad. It's another to be so sad, so unhappy that you can't

"As women are demanding more of life, they are being expected to give more as

about the future.  One-fifth of the 1,001 survey respondents said the last time
they felt truly happy was six months ago or longer.  This extreme sadness is

characterized by feelings of melancholy or depression.  While it's generally not
severe enough for medication, it is severe enough that they are unable to cope
with life's demands.

have learned and the best ways to cope.
