How many times do we hear it?
“Sure, after I trained him to be the perfect boyfriend, he breaks up with me and goes to be perfect for someone else.?
Has this happened to you?
We can learn a lot from our short term relationships. We bump and
bruise each other like bumper cars in an old time amusement park. We
fight, argue, push our weight around or we withdraw, pout and
manipulate.
Major depression is characterized by a persistent sad mood and/or an inability to experience pleasure. These symptoms are constant, interfering with the ability to lead a productive and enjoyable life.
Left untreated, a major depressive episode typically lasts for about six months. Some people may experience just a single episode of depression in their lifetime, but more commonly, major depression is a recurring disorder. Depression is perhaps the most common of all mental health problems, currently felt to affect one in every four adults to some degree. Depression is a problem with mood/feeling in which the mood is described as sad, feeling down in the dumps, being blue, or feeling low. While the depressed mood is present, evidence is also present which reflects the neurochemical or “brain chemistry” aspects of depression with the depressed individual experiencing poor concentration/attention, loss of energy, accelerated thought/worry, sleep/appetite disturbance, and other physical manifestations.
