Publisher's Synopsis
Depression is a common and serious mental health disorder that negatively affects the way you think, the way you feel and how you act. It is characterized by persistently depressed mood, and/or loss of interest in activities causing a significant impairment in life. Feelings of depression can be a normal reaction to loss, life's complexities or damaged self-esteem. When these feelings of intense sadness such as hopelessness, helplessness, and worthlessness last for several days to weeks and interfere with regular daily activities; these feelings can be more than sadness and can be a form of depression. In this anthology, 10 writers share their stories and experiences about depression to help those who might be struggling with it or feeling they are alone.
