Contrary to what many people believe, depression is not an illness. It is simply a mood that stems from an unfulfilled longing for something we cannot have or do. It is a natural and healthy response to an inability to cope with circumstances is, although we usually have difficulty seeing it that way at the time, particularly if we are unaware of the underlying causes.

So long as the real causes remain concealed, the longing persists and the mood is likely to intensify and promise nothing other than endless despair. At that point it is likely to be described as 'depressive illness' or, in medical terminology, 'clinical depression'. This involves specific disorders, such as frequent, irritable behaviour; loss of appetite; significant changes in body weight; disturbed sleep patterns; trembling; loss of physical and/or mental energy; a diminished ability to think or concentrate; irrational and debilitating attacks of panic; constant anxiety; a sense of isolation verging on paranoia; unjustified feelings of worthlessness � perhaps culminating in thoughts of suicide. The actual extent to which these disturbances warrant the term illness is left to the personal judgement of the doctor.

There is then a risk that the primary cause will be attributed to a somatic change of some kind, despite there being no biological evidence for such a hypothesis. Hence, attempts to 'cure' it by methods unrelated to the real causes provide little more than short-term relief.

lol. Nice source.

Depression is also caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. That's not something that can be wished away. In fact, chemical imbalances are the cause of many other types of illnesses. Depression is no different.

This post reeks of scientology (not that there's anything wrong with that)

There is a world of difference between clinical depression and general sadness..most people feel general sadness quite frequently thoughout their lives....heck, most women feel "depressed" when they're pms'ing..but that does not mean we are suffering from depression...

....suffering from clinical depression is much more different...and it is attributed to a chemical inbalance...in most cases clinical depression has to be treated with meds....

People shouldn't throw the word "depression" around if they are just generally sad....
