Abstract

Unfortunately, in this day and age, some people still think that depression is trivial and not a genuine condition. Current research suggests that depression develops from a combination of physiological, genetic, environmental and biological factors. With the right treatment and support the majority of people who suffer with depression can either make a full recovery or find coping mechanisms to help them manage their condition.
