Depression
This is the first in a series of pages on my site dealing with different types of depression. But are you depressed or is it perhaps a perfectly normal reaction to recent or even long-standing life events like loss, change or bereavement? Depression can have a number of causes. It is experienced in a range of forms, of varying severity. Symptoms also vary, becoming more and more disruptive in the life of the sufferer as the depression has a greater and greater impact on their life.
