DEPRESSION

Depression is a condition of feeling sad or downhearted living deep in the heart and soul. It can take over and even be consuming. It is a debilitating condition that must be seized, fixed or left behind.

Depression is healthy when it follows a great loss. This depression is called "situational" because an event has caused a person to become unbalanced and sad. With time and the assistance of family and friends, the person is able to accept the loss and return to functional daily life.

The key to helping you manage your depression is to generate some kind of internal motivation to help yourself.
