The True Meaning Of Depression
Depression is arguably the single most common malady affecting society today. Like the common cold it affects young and old, rich and poor, blue-collar workers and white-collar workers, labourers and executives and colour or creed is no barrier; all are depression’s potential victims.
In medicine, Depression has various classifications that are given specific names, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Post Natal Depression, plus other terms such as, Manic Depression and a term not so common today, Nervous Breakdown. Manic Depression refers to a sufferer who alternates between very high moods and equally low moods. Depression in all its guises does not have a physical component, so can only be emotional complaint.
