Depression is a physical disorder of the brain which can be brought on by psychological stress, drug taking and even allergies. Same for other mental illnesses. If I take vanadium supplements or bone meal tablets I go into a very profound depression, which lifts within a day of stopping them. Eating eggs also puts me into a depression. Amphetamine, cocaine ketamine and PCP will cause mentall illness in genetically predisposed people, case in point being Paul Gascoigne. Cannabis also makes some people psychotic.
Some people seem to be incapable of grasping the fact that the brain is an extremely complicated machine which can malfunction in people with genetic abnormalities. |

It's not until you actually know somebody with depression , that you actually begin to understand the seriousness of the condition ......it is just the same as suffering from a serious disease and affects everyone associated with that person.........because it is a problem with the mind , the public seem to think of it as a bit of a joke . Most of the time it is due to chemical imbalance in the brain and is treatable with drugs like most illnesses . Failure to treat can have tragic consequences.....
