What is Depression?



Depression is an emotion that all of us experience during great anxiety, where one could be overwhelmed with great pressure or under immense tension. Depression is not about having the typical “blues” but it is a mood disorder that could have a significant impact in one’s daily activities.


There are many types of depression – branching from major depression to seasonal to postnatal. For those who are not aware of their symptoms may never know they are suffering from it and therefore, depression can lead one to having several disorders. Mainly from eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating) to brain disorder (schizophrenia) or even to physical disorders such as taking drugs to numb the pain of feeling depressed, self-mutilation (meaning to deliberately and unnaturally cut your physic in order to relief pain) or even worse suicide.
