Hello and thank you for buying this book called ‘Depression’. Churchill, a renowned sufferer of depression called it ‘The Black Dog’.

It has had several names over the years, and it seems to be more common than ever. Luckily, it can be treated fairly easily too, if the sufferer knows that he or she has a problem and also seeks help, which is far too often not the case.

Most people ‘snap out of it’ with a little help from their friends, although it can and does return. Others can’t bear it any longer and take the ultimate escape route.

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. Please be aware that I wrote the content of this ebook after a significant amount of research.

The information in this ebook on various aspects of depression and related subjects is organized into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each.

I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about the problems associated with depression in all its forms.

As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

You may also split the book up and resell the articles. In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.

If you have any feedback, please leave it with the company you bought this book from

Thanks again for purchasing this book,

Regards,

Depression

Do you never feel as if things are going well for you? Do you never want to be with others? Can you never see the funny side of life? If you have been suffering from a sense of sadness for quite some time now, you should face up these bouts of depression and have yourself examined by a doctor.

Depression, or periods of prolonged sadness, is actually quite common in the United States. Something like 9.5% of the American population suffers from this illness, although not all of these cases are treated, so, depression and its side-effects continue to be a burden to many individuals. It seems to many that depression is quite simple to treat, but in reality, it takes more than a little cheering up to actually cure depression.

Depression can easily affect a person’s normal daily activities and the way that he or she functions. One can soon feel like a wet blanket, and start to avoid contact with others. A lack of confidence and a world-weariness often come to replace an individual’s normal happy personality. Not only that though, a person suffering from depression is never the only one who suffers from this destructive illness, his or her friends, family and colleagues will probably also be affected.

When people who are close to a depressed person notice the change in personality – often they just don’t care about themselves any more and everything seems to be too much trouble – it can affect them adversely too.

Fortunately, depression can be cured, but, as with all illnesses, the earlier it is diagnosed the better. Depressed individuals can be treated through therapy and medication. Sometimes, it is necessary to consult a psychiatrist, although your first point of contact should be your general practitioner who will refer you if necessary.

Perhaps because depression is so common, many sufferers do not recognize their condition even when everyone else can see it. Therefore, it is necessary to be honest with oneself in order to take the first steps to curing the illness. Do not overlook the most common symptoms of depressed individuals. These include sudden uncharacteristic behaviour such as losing interest in one’s hobbies, sports or pastimes; a tendency to want to stay in bed; an inability to sleep; anti-social behaviour; an obsession with sad subjects or even death.

There are other symptoms too, but if several of the above characteristics describe you or someone you know, it is time to visit a doctor right now, because delay can be fatal.

Depression should not be something to be ashamed of. People fear the social stigma of mental illness, but rather than pretending that there is no problem, people should take charge of their lives, face depression and fight it as an outpatient. The stigma is far less now than it was even ten years ago. Life is too short to waste, so if you suspect that you, or a loved one is suffering from depression, don’t be frightened of it, start having it treated today by visiting your GP.

Depression and Anger

Depression and anxiety are widely recognised to be two of the main causes of uncontrolled anger. When a person is continuously worried about things over which they have no control, it often causes depression. This often results in the person having the feeling that there is no hope, and that depression will soon have a devastating affect on their life causing them to sink into a world of chaos.

Taking control of one’s emotions produces good results. If you feel that the world is crumbling around you, then you are probably thinking negatively, which instigates depression and anxiety. In this article, we will discuss some techniques to help you cope with anxiety and depression, thus preventing uncontrolled anger.

First, let us take a look at your symptoms. Do you feel like you are going out of your mind? Do you shout in your head: ‘I cannot take it any more?’ Do you feel like someone is out to get you? Do you think people view you as a crazy person? If you are suffering any or all of these symptoms or thoughts then you are probably in danger of suffering anxiety and depression.

If you cannot find a way to think differently, then your rage will probably become evident when your emotions soar out of control. Instead of telling yourself that you are out of your mind, why not tell yourself that you are temporarily emotionally disturbed and that you need to resolve the situation? Review all the problem areas carefully and search your memory to see if there are answers to your problems. Review often opens doors to resources you may have overlooked.

If you feel like someone is out to get you then you might have a chemical imbalance or a mental illness. Why not visit your doctor or a mental health expert to learn more about your symptoms and find a way to gain control of your life? Anxiety and depression will play tricks with your mind and sometimes, uncharacteristic thoughts are a result of a chemical imbalance.

If you think that people think you are crazy, you might want to remember that most people have their own problems and have no time to analyse you as a person. When you walk into a room and think that people are staring at you, it might help you to remember that it is human nature to notice things moving around them, to make sure everything is all right and then to return to whatever they were doing.

When times are difficult, it does not mean it is the end of the world, although sometimes it may seem this way. If you are struggling to pay bills, fighting to hold a family together, or having difficulty with your children, then remember that we all have these problems at some time in our lives.

Are your children driving you mad? If they are, take a break. Go do something entertaining or exercise. This often relieves the stress that leads to anxiety, depression and anger. Life is too short to worry about the things that you do not have control over. If you have problems, the answers are within you, so it pays to review your mind.

If you are struggling to reach goals then you might find it easier to break your goals down into smaller segments and work slowly to achieve them. If you set goals that are within reason, you will not need to stress your mind to find a way to achieve your huge target.

It is important to treat yourself each day. Buy yourself some chocolate, ice cream or whatever and learn some relaxation techniques that benefit both your mind and your body. If you feel overwhelmed, you might like to learn some yoga breathing exercises. Curling up on a couch and watching a favourite film can benefit your mind and body. Learn to focus on what you are doing instead of worrying about what you are not doing. This often clears the mind and helps you to relax.

If you are subject to anger, you will most likely have difficulties for the rest of your life until you learn to take control of your emotions. Remember that depression leads to uncontrolled anger.

Weight Loss, Back Pain and the Consequences

Most people, specialists and lay people alike, agree that modern society is blighted by obesity. However, getting those individuals to agree on why obesity is becoming such a social issue is not so easy.

Some people say it is because food, money and calories have never been so cheap and that it is human nature to store fat in times or plenty for the difficult times that will indubitably follow.

Others point to all the labour-saving devices that we have in our daily lives which means that we can get our daily chores done without having to expend as many calories as we did before, and yet others, the conspiracy theorists, say that governments have plotted with food manufacturers and pharmaceuticals to insert additives in our food to make us addicted to it.

One thing is for certain, nowadays you can work for six minutes in numerous Western countries and earn enough money to buy 1,000 calories and not one of those calories will do your body any good whatsoever.

Take a large bottle of soda - it is the most useless comestible item ever manufactured, yet it flies out of supermarket doors by the trolley load each day.

Obesity has been linked with a number of major lethal illnesses like diabetes and coronary heart disease and is known to be a major factor in causing atherosclerosis, high levels of cholesterol, high blood pressure and back pain.

Back pain does not sound as if it is in the same league as the others in that list, but you would not question how serious it is, if you have ever experienced it. How do you describe back pain to someone who has never experienced it? It is comparable to toothache, a cricked neck or a cramped calf, but much, much worse.

It is there all the time. Sufferers wake up throughout the night in pain and have to shift position because they cannot do it in their sleep like most people do. You cannot manage anything in a hurry and some days you simply cannot do anything. You cannot take part in enjoyable activities; you cannot have fun with the kids, nor your mates or your spouse.

The depression that accompanies the suspicion that the pain will never go away - that you are stuck with pain and immobility for the remainder of your existence - is worse than the pain itself.

If you have never experienced a bad back, do everything within your capacity to make certain that you never do get one and strive to do the same for those who depend on you.

If you are flabby, you will have a bad back one day and the fatter you are the sooner that day is coming, so begin doing something about losing weight now whilst you can still walk, and the task is that bit easier. It is hard to exercise weight off, if you are laid out flat on your back for three or four days a week in agony.

Anger Management and Depression

Depression and anxiety are almost certainly the causes of uncontrollable anger. When a person is continuously worried about problems, they are usually thinking about problems they do have control over. This often results in depression. If you have the feeling that there is no way out, then your depression can impact on your life and cause you to sink into a spiral of despair. This can be particularly severe in adolescents, since their young minds have often not yet developed strategies of anger management.
