Depression
It’s not just sadness
Depression has many faces. It can ruin the best of lives and turn successful people into tragic creatures. It does not have to control us though. We can with appropriate treatment and support overcome the worst of this illness. And yes, it is an illness. We may have a grief reaction that is a form of depression, but this usually is self limiting. Major depression is another animal in and of itself. It is a true illness that requires medical evaluation and treatment. If you think you are experiencing this problem, please seek help from a physician or professional counsellor.
