WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

Short, down to earth and common sense explanations - what you need to know.

To pick up where a well known self-help author left off ...

* Depression is the misalignment of the personality and the soul.

* Depression is an (ignored) intuitive signal that manifests when we are going through life circumstances or periods that need attention, need evaluation or re-evaluation.

* First and foremost, a depression is a “rite of passage”.

We all “have the right to our rites of passage”. In this haphazard, whirl wind, 9 to 5 production oriented, consumerism absorbed world we have created - and insist on maintaining - we have all but forgotten our normal, personal “human” needs of evolution.
It is time that instead of abandoning those “in transition”, we honor and respect their right for time to grow and develop.
