What is Depression?
A common myth is that
depression affects only those who can't manage life's ups and downs due to some
personal weakness or failure of willpower.
This is untrue.
Depression is a medical illness not unlike diabetes or high blood pressure. A
person with depression can't change his or her mood any more than diabetics can
use willpower to change their blood sugar level.
The causes of
depression are many; but in recent years it has become that all depressions
involve a chemical imbalance in the areas of the brain that regulate mood and
emotion. Just as diabetics need regular treatment with insulin or other
therapies, people with depression often require medications or therapy to
restore mood and help them feel better.
If you are depressed or
