Depression is a common psychological illness in the United States with around 9 percent of the population suffering from it some time during their lives. Unfortunately only about half of those people ever seek treatment for their depression symptoms which can become a burden for not only its sufferers but also to those close to them. Depression is a complex illness that requires substantial intervention by a psychiatrist or psychologist to cure. In addition to consistent counseling prescription medication is also an option in the fight against depression. While the cost of counseling and medication can be prohibitive the cost of not obtaining treatment for depression can have far worse ramifications.

Depression, a mental illness that is often characterized by prolonged periods of sadness and melancholy, experts from the field of psychiatry say. But just because one person is moping around and just generally hating the world around him or her, doesn’t mean that it’s already depression, but if this kind of behavior, the feeling of emptiness, loss of self-worth and absolutely no hope for happiness just goes on and on, then, yes, that individual is very much, indeed, depressed.

A lot of people who are exerting too much of their brain power usually exhaust not only their physical strength when engaging in various multi-tasking activities, they also tend to over extend their brains up to the point when it plainly needs some good old time for relaxation.
