Dear
Visitor, To think DEPRESSION
is something caused by factors
beyond your control is downright depressing. Yes that is what many
people believe, including some in
the medical and mental health
fields. Although in some cases
medical problems do cause
depression, the vast majority of
depression is fortunately within
your own control. I have seen
hundreds of people learn to
become free from the grasp of
depression after having believed
circumstances or chemicals beyond
their control were responsible.
Yes! You and those you care about
can conquer depression.

| Depression, like
any other emotion, is usually the
body's natural response to what
is going on in the mind---whether
consciously or unconsciously---as
well as the body's response to
how a person is eating, sleeping,
and in general, living. Being in
a world with so many unpleasant
things such as illness, death,
war, financial difficulties,
crime, hunger, divorce, and
abuse, it can be difficult not to
feel discouraged or depressed at
times. Millions do everyday. There are 10
common barriers that interfere
with successfully dealing with
depression. By identifying and
removing the barriers getting in
your way, you will be in a better
position to minimize, and
eventually control, depression.

| How To Benefit
From This Site This web
site is designed to be used the same way
you use your medical first-aid book. You
refer to it periodically when you want
help or information about depression
concerning yourself or a loved one. This
site is patterned, to the best of my
ability, after the same approach I use in
my office. As I wrote, I tried to
anticipate and respond to your concerns
about depression, anxiety, sexual
problems, or communication difficulties
just as if we were talking face to face.
Although I truly hope you find this
information on depression beneficial, it
is not intended to provide or replace
professional diagnosis and treatment. More
information on how to benefit from this
site.
