Abstract
There are several types of depression, but we will only discuss the major depressions. We will try to understand this disease, by analyzing its symptoms, causes and possible treatments.
The clinical depression is more than a feeling of bad day's blues. It is an intense state ofoccupational functioning. It affects about 16% of the American adult population, on at least one occasion in their lives, and apparently, women are more touched than the men by this disease. However, suicide is the most serious consequence of depression.
Clinical depression is a mental illness, but it often shows many physical symptoms as well as mental. A depressive disorder is an illness which implies the body, mood and thoughts.
