Everyone uses the word "depression" almost every day; people have started using it as an abbreviation for their everyday glitches and fatigues. For instance a person usually says, "I'm depressed" when in reality he/she means, "I'm exhausted and angry because I lost my job". For most cases, there is not much to worry about as these are the ups and downs of life, which everyone has to face at some point, but with true depression you have a low mood and other characteristic symptoms for most part of the day. If left untreated, these symptoms can further complicate and affect your day to day life. To define it, depression is a medical illness that results in a continuous feeling of gloominess and lack of interest; it affects the person's thinking, feelings and behavior. There are six known types of depression: -Major Depression. -Chronic Depression. -Bipolar Disorder. -Seasonal Affective Disorder. -Psychotic Depression -Postpartum Depression Surveys reveal that two in three adults suffer from depression at some point in their lives. Sometimes it's not that serious and the sad feelings fade within a few weeks. However, about 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men undergo an episode of depression that requires some treatment. Most people choose an artificial, 'take the pill' treatment over natural and less painful treatments; this book is all about natural cures and the magnitude of their effectiveness when compared to clinical treatments. So delve right in and get rid of that darkness that spoils every joy in your life.
