You have to understand the types of depression before you can treat it. Depression is no joke; it is a very serious disease that affects millions and millions of Americans each and every year. The alarming dilemma is that over a third of those Americans will not seek any type of cures for depression which are available. Too many Americans are still tarnished by the age-old stereotype associated with any mental illness. People consider their reputation and what others will think of someone who is nuts. To treat depression first it has to be diagnosed. Diagnosis doesn’t happen while the sufferer hides the problem. It’s a vicious circle.
