Expert Author: RJ Camposagrado Everyone occasionally feels blue or sad, but these feelings are usually temporary and will pass within a couple days.

Expert Author: Brian Welschi Many in the medical community are now coming to terms with the fact that there is a defining link between smoking cessation and depression. Depression is associated with the increased frequency of smoking and if you remove the smoking habit, depression seems to worsen in a normal person. Smokers addicted to cigarettes are usually preoccupied with smoking, and continue to possess an abnormal attachment and anticipation for cigarettes. Quitting smoking is then complicated because the level of pleasure seems to decrease and therefore mood swings set in, causing frustration and anguish over simply smoking. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Everyone can agree on the fact that depression is a debilitating disease. What we can't all seem to agree on however, is what this disease does to a person's ability to think reason and perceive. The problem in coming to an agreement here lies in the many causes and physical reactions to depression. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Family - It can be very vexing to loved one's when you are depressed. On one hand they want nothing but the best for you, but on the other they sometimes get frustrated and wonder why you can't simply snap out of it. It can be particularly hard on children of someone with depression as it may affect their outlook on life for many years to come. Having experienced this myself, I can say definitely this the number one reason to fight your depression. Expert Author: Jill Smi Depression or prolonged sadness is actually quite common in the United States, around 9.5 percent of the American population actually suffers from this illness, however, not all of them get to be treated, thus, depression and its ill-effects continue to be a burden to some individuals. This illness may seem quite simple to treat but in reality, it takes more than a little cheering up to actually cure depression. Expert Author: Jill Smi Depression is a mental illness that is often characterized by prolonged periods of sadness and melancholy, experts from the field of psychiatry say. But just because one person is moping around and just generally hating the world around him or her, doesn't mean that it's already depression, but if this kind of behavior, the feeling of emptiness, loss of self-worth and absolutely no hope for happiness just goes on and on, then, yes, that individual is very much, indeed, depressed. Expert Author: John Smi Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields are currently engaging in a word war against each other because of a type of depression, called postpartum depression. Cruise's and Brooke's debacle started when Tom Cruise openly disapproved of Brooke Shield's personal choice of opting to take prescribed medicines to cure her postpartum depression, when he guested at the Today Show. According to Cruise, who is a popular devotee of Scientology (who believes that we can be cured through natural means and that taking medicine is doing our body harm), Brooke Shields should have instead, opted to cure her postpartum depression by doing healthy exercises. Expert Author: John Smi Manic depression or Bipolar depression is actually considered as one of the worst type of depression that people usually suffer from. Characterized by sudden and extreme changes in their mood, Manic depression is said to be called as such because manic = mania refers to the 'ups' while depression refers to the 'downs'. Expert Author: John Smi Always feeling under the weather? Always not in the mood to be around others and have a good time? If you're suffering from prolonged sadness for quite some time now, you should face these bouts of depression and get yourself diagnosed by a psychiatrist, they're doctors who can actually help you out with your problem. Expert Author: Chris Hanson The condition of depression occurs universally, generating confusion, depression and affecting a person's handling of relationship with work and others.
