General Health Information

Major depression is a debilitating mental illness that can rob those diagnosed with it of their ambition to live. Unlike passing bouts of depression related to daily occurrences or life events, major depression is persistent and can be accompanied by other mental disorders as well, such as anxiety, paranoia, mania, and suicidal tendencies. Major depression can occur at any age to anyone, gender and ethnicity aside. This mental illness can become so cumbersome that sufferers cannot even get out of bed at times or participate in any favorite leisure activities that they enjoyed in the past.
