Depression

As depression has only been classified as an actuall illness in the last few years,not many people really understand what it is. I do suffer from severe clinical depression and have done so all my life,but before it was recognized,they always thought it was a mental illness different than what it actually is. There is no real cure for this,but it can be helped some with medication,but even with the med's there are a number of things that can still cause the depression to escallate.
