Depression is one of the leading indicators of suicide so we must never underestimate this illness.  At the same time, despite depression being so widespread, it remains to be one of the most treatable illnesses out there.

     Yes, I did call Depression an illness or better yet a disease.  That's exactly what it is.  Contrary to what others may THINK, Depression is a disease.  Depressed people just don't wake up one day and say that they WANT to be depressed and feel miserable and helpless.  It isn't something people CHOOSE to do. No matter what some people may say, it's not something you can just "snap out of."  At the same time, depression is not something you should be ashamed of.  It's a serious disease that can even take someone's life if not treated.  Like any serious illness, depression needs to be treated.  The thing is not to STAY in that depressed state.  There IS help out there.  So, with this website, I hope to educate and help those who suffer from Depression.
