On Depression On Depression Depression is a strange thing.
Most people think depression, or, any form of mental malady, is a clear sign of individual weakness.
Personally, I feel that I am affected by depression and anxiety attacks. Perhaps, they go hand in hand, but unless you have personally experienced them, there is almost no way to describe them in adequate way to ensure the fear, the darkness, hopeless and anger that is felt. It is not something I am ashamed of because I know that there is little I can do about it because I was born with it. Furthermore, the list of who are affected by this insidious illness includes celebrities, politicians, war heroes, clergy and millionaires. It is no respecter of rank.
