Depression is such a mild word. It doesn't convey the terror of what the person who has it, feels. Those who have never had this disease have absolutely no idea what it's like.

If one's depression is caused by chemical imbalance,then prozac and like drugs work fine. It did for me.

If you have this disease, don't listen to those who tell you that you can overcome it with willpower. Or with herbal medicines. Find a sympathetic doctor and go from there.
