It should be noted that the modern medical system's explanation for depression is only a theory, which they readily admit. Depression is more of a spiritual and coping problem and should be treated as such.

Roughly 20% of the modern world will have it during their lifetime, and women are twice as likely to suffer from it than men. Some people say that suffering from it feels like a black curtain of despair coming down over their lives. The condition is depression, and it is often misunderstood and needlessly stigmatized.
Depression is one of the most common psychological problems, and it affects everyone either through personal experience or through depression in a loved one. Depression can and often does interfere with normal daily functioning and often causes additional problems with family, work, and social interaction.
Depression changes how a person thinks and feels. It affects social behavior and one's personal sense of well-being and contentment. It is a "whole-body" illness that involves the body, mind, and emotions. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, size, sex, temperament or social status. Clinical depression is a very common problem, however, most people do not seek proper treatment. Additionally, most people who have experienced one episode of depression will, most likely, have another one.
