Dissecting Depression
Depression can be disturbing and can leave the person feeling very isolated and alone. But, you’re not alone. There are many people who have depression, but no longer ‘suffer’ from it. Check this out and see if you have any signs of depression and see who you may know that also has dealt with depression in their lives.

I seriously struggle with depression…but I don’t like how this post suggests that pills are the only way out. They’ve done studies to show that it isn’t a chemical imbalance…its a learned behaviour.

Much of depression has to do with not getting enough exercise. Lot of it has to do with being very socially isolated. Much of depression is caused by a chemical in the brain that can be helped by getting regular exercise.

I personally was scared to use pills for my depression. It was a tuft time in my life but I got past it with a lot of regular exercise. Now I am 15 pounds lighter/happy. With a new body; I am less socially isolated, and more outgoing.

I agree with “Hip Hop Music”, depression has a lot to do with not getting enough exercise! Whenever I exercise my body rewards me with good sleep and a sort of overall happy feeling without any reason. We shouldn’t rely on drugs to give us this feeling. Everything we need is within us.

Great infographic. I liked that you included the symptoms and warning signs. I think it’s very important for us to be aware of depression specially within our family and circle of friends. Being able to do this could make a difference between life and death.
