DEPRESSED MOOD
More than 16 million Americans suffer from at least one incident of depression every year, but half of those individuals never seek treatment. Supplements and holistic therapies are effective ways of treating depression, without the side effects of prescription drugs.
WHAT CAUSES DEPRESSION?
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders, cutting across ages, ethnicities and socio-economic levels. Many people experience situational depression after a traumatic or highly stressful event. Others suffer from clinical depression, a diagnosed condition that stems from chemical imbalances in the brain. The good news is that depression is highly treatable, especially if you take a comprehensive look at all contributing factors.
