St. Johnswort Introduction Depression has become a serious health disorder affecting millions of people around the world, and causing untold misery and loss.
Many people have a false belief that depression is caused by some type of personal weakness.
They further believe that the person suffering from depression can just change their mind and be happy. This is not true. What depression really is, is a medical condition in which there is a chemical imbalance in the brain that has a negative effect upon mood, has s pecific symptoms , and a proven course of treatment. Depression is one of the most under-diagnosed illnesses, and it has been estimated that millions of people here in the United States are unaware that they are suffering from some form of depression. An even more startling discovery is that for every suicide, there are approximately three unsuccessful suicide attempts, and 100 people who are seriously contemplating suicide.
