DEPRESSION
It's a word we use casually, lightly ignoring the fact that true depression---whether its cause is biological or brought about by life events---can be utterly devastating.
The depressed person is emotionally paralyzed, cut off from the stream of daily life.
And the condition is self-perpetuating.
Just finding the energy to seek help can seem like an insurmountable task.
So how do people find their way out of the darkness and into the light?
The motivations to seek help and the ways people find to lift themselves out of the pit of depression are as varied as individual personalities.
