People who are depressed are more than just “down” – they suffer from chronic low mood which affects their relationships with others and day-to-day life. Some types of depression have specific triggers, such as the season (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and being a new mum (post-natal depression). Bipolar Disorder (manic depression) sufferers experience drastic “lows” and “highs”. This book examines the different types of depression and looks at treatments available. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper reports, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
