Depression

Depression is hard to describe. The Webster's Dictionary says Depression is: "a psychoneurotic or psychotic disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal tendencies". I guess that would be a good way to put it. Depression isn't always noticeable, some times even by the victims of it. When depressed some one might not even know they are depressed.

And it will typically lingerer on for a long time. One could "recover" only to slip back into the darkness a year or so later. Some people get to used to it they start to actually like being depressed. Depression can destroy your life though, but allot of depression is because life was ruined. When depressed all most everything can trigger a break down of some sort. Wither it is out of anger of sorrow, the victim becomes weak on many levels. Some times depression can lead to cutting and other self destructive things; anything from burns to putting one self in harms way.

There is more than one form of depression. There are many forms of it really, depression is kind of a generic term; there is Bi-Polar Disorder, Multiple Personality Disorder, and others. All of them have
