The Light at the End of the Tunnel. (ePub)

Depression is a mental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by profound sadness, a loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities, low self-esteem, a sense of emptiness, a lack of hope and, in some cases, suicidal thoughts. Depression can have a negative impact on all aspects of life: health, work, relationships, leisure and happiness.

Depression is not a simple matter of mood or character. It is a real illness that has complex and varied causes, which may be biological, psychological or social.

Depression requires appropriate treatment and professional and personal support.
