Depression

bblloogg....

For my research paper I have decided to write about depression. I lost my grandpa due to this disorder, almost my best friend, and I've almost taken my own life from suffering from it. Please don't read into that, but it's true, I'm doing better and not too many troubles. But I want to know exactly how many people suffer from it, who it targets the most, and what if treatment doesn't work. There's obviously more that I want/need to know, but I don't want to bore you with them, you'll just have to read my paper.

Depression comes in multiple forms and severity levels, for example: anxiety, bi polar, seasonal effective disorder (SED), situational depression, etc. I want to learn the basics and then with the more common forms, dig deeper and learn the most about those.

Also I want to look into medication and therapy options. There are hundred of medications that treat depression and they're used on individual and symptomatic bases. Also I want to learn about the helpful and afftectiveness of therapy, different kinds, and possible costs for it.

Millions of people have depression, but they don't all have to suffer.
