Sorry for the mini novel... :-/THESE IMAGES FOUND ON THE WEB.I started out trying to...then realised that this colours EVERYTHING. So, I realise that it is a bit dis-jointed, but I believe you get the gist.Grazie!There is always hope. Depression blinds us to that fact. If we can somehow hold on to our hope, just maybe we can find a way to get through.Being clinically depressed is very different from the down type of feeling that all people experience from time to time. Occasional feelings of sadness are a normal part of life, and it is that such feelings are often colloquially referred to as "depression." In clinical depression, such feelings are out of proportion to any external causes. There are things in everyone's life that are possible causes of sadness, but people who are not depressed manage to cope with these things without becoming incapacitated. As one might expect, depression can present itself as feeling sad or "having the blues". However, sadness may not always be the dominant feeling of a depressed person. Depression can also be experienced as a numb or empty feeling, or perhaps no awareness of feeling at all. A depressed person may experience a noticeable loss in their ability to feel pleasure about anything. Depression, as viewed by psychiatrists, is an illness in which a person experiences a marked change in their mood and in the way they view themselves and the world. Depression as a significant depressive disorder ranges from short in duration and mild to long term and very severe, even life threatening. Symptoms of DepressionAn estimated one in ten Americans suffer from depression, an illness that affects both physical and mental well-being. Often chronic in nature, depression can be triggered by adverse life circumstances or occur simply "out of the blue." Frequently, a combination of genetic, psychological and environmental factors contribute to the onset of depression.The most common symptoms are set out below . If these have been experienced for more than two weeks it is essential to seek help. People may suffer from two or three of these symptoms but are unlikely to experience them all. Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Feeling useless, inadequate, bad. Self hatred, constant questioning of thoughts and actions, an overwhelming need for reassurance. Being vulnerable and "over-sensitive". Feeling guilty. A loss of energy and motivation, that makes even the simplest tasks or decisions seem difficult. Self harm. Loss or gain in weight. Difficulty with getting off to sleep, or (less frequently) an excessive desire to sleep. Agitation and restlessness. Loss of sex drive. Finding it impossible to concentrate for any length of time, forgetfulness. A sense of unreality. Physical aches and pains, sometimes with the fear that you are seriously ill. In severe depression, these feelings may also include: Suicidal ideas. Failure to eat or drink. Delusions and/or hallucinations. MORE INFORMATIONDepression is much misunderstood by the public, yet it affects many people of all ages. It is estimated that one in five people will suffer from depression at some point in their lives. Depression is an illness where the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, linkled to the inability to concentrate, may make it hard for some people to carry out normal daily activities. Depression is an illness with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms, which sometimes make it hard to recognise and understand. Personality may play a part in depression. Although anyone can become depressed under particular circumstances, some people seem to be more vulnerable than others. This may be because of things that have happened in childhood, such as abuse, or because of our individual make up (including body chemistry). A lot of effective, intelligent and creative people suffer from depression and yet make an outstanding contribution to life. Often, information about their depression is only revealed after their death, as people misunderstand the illness. Amongst such people are Florence Nightingale and Sir Winston Churchill, who used to call depression his "black dog". Depression can effect anyone and does not reduce your value as a human being. It is important for people to know that:Depression is an illness that can affect anyone at any age.It is not connected with and does not develop into insanity
