What is Depression?

Depression is a whole-body illness, one which involves that of your body, mind, mood, and thoughts, and it can affect the way you eat and sleep, as well as the way that you feel about yourself overall and even the way that you think about things. When you suffer from depression, life can seem incredibly and dramatically different than it really is, and this is why so many of the cases of people who suffer from depression result in suicide.
Some of the symptoms that you may notice if depression is a part of your life are: changes in thinking, changes in feelings, changes in behavior, and changes in your physical well-being. As well, you may only see one of these, or a combination of two or more, depending on your particular case.
