31、re disappointment and hence, depression. Depression is easily recognizable. The depressed person feels sad or down in the dumps, and loses interest in even the most pleasurable activities.

32、vement and thinking, fatigue, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, impaired concentration and forgetfulness, and in extreme cases, the afflicted person may have suicidal tendencies. It is often believed that depression runs in the family, but this is not conclusively so, since there are cases where

33、depressed persons do not have a history of depression in their families. Depression is often work related although at times it has its roots in family relations. People who suffer from depression need not stay in the closet, since it is not a sin or a shame to be depressed. A prompt visit to a psych

42、here are also millions of “rods“ but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside.
