Depression Depression. This disease effects millions of people. Anti depressant medications are one of the most common medications prescribed by Doctors. If you or someone you know is affected by this then you know how very difficult it is to live with this affliction. The feelings that are often associated with depression ranges from low feelings of self worth, all the way to euphoria and excitability. Sometimes the person cannot get out of bed in the morning. They feel worthless and extremely sad. Life ceases to have any meaning. Loved ones that do not understand the mechanics of depression do not understand why they feel life is not worth living. "But what about me?" is often asked. "Don't you know I would be lost without you?" The person in the grips of a full blown depression does not think beyond the pain they feel. It has nothing to do with how much you love them. That does not fit into the equation. Probably one of the most common type of depression is Bi Polar or what was commonly known as Manic Depressive Illness. This has been linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain and usually requires more than one type of medication to treat. The Bi Polar person has extreme mood swings from severe depression to high or manic phases where the person sleeps very little if at all and sometimes will do things totally out of the ordinary, like quitting a job or selling a house with no thought beyond their current mood. Depression requires a lot of understanding and patience from family and friends and is almost always combined with treatment by a qualified Doctor.
