Each of us has at some point in time had a depressing and sad moment. Depression is a normal human reaction associated with a loss, with the turmoil of everyday life (particularly in light of the present world recession) or with a stressed relationship. Sometimes the sensation of sadness  passes and sometimes it doesn’t.  It only becomes more persistent, possibly leading to a nervous breakdown.

Diseases of the nervous system are very serious and that is why it is important not to ignore them.  Get proper help when you realize you can’t handle them alone. There is no shame in having depression but do get the help you need.
