"Knowledge and understanding is a good starting point in the treatment of this often misunderstood disorder"
Depression:
Everyone experiences stress one time or other. That is just a fact of life. It could be financial problems, it could be behaviour problems, it could be physical illness, it could be family problems or it could be dealing with problems at work. No matter what the problems are, dealing with any uncertainty in life causes us mental stress. Some of these problems may be manageable. However, others may not and may last for weeks or months or even years. It is quite obvious how these ongoing problems can affect the way we eat and sleep. It's no wonder how these mental ongoing stresses can affect us at a physical level. We may then be so bogged down on dealing with these problems that we may not have the time or energy left to deal with other things in daily life. The sufferer may feel down, tired and lack motivation most of the time.
There are also times when we feel depressed but don't know what is causing us to feel that way. That “not knowing” is enough to make us feel even more down the gutter. If a person is suffering from any anxiety disorders such as Tourette's Syndrome, phobia or panic attacks, it wouldn't be a surprise why that person may also suffer from depression. Depression is covered in "The Root Cause".
