DEPRESSION – Depression illnesses often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them.  Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person.

There are now medications and psychological therapies that ease the pain of depression.
