Depression Why does nobody Understand?

Depression...Why Does Nobody Understand?
On researching this topic of depression I started to get a little confused. If I'm getting confused researching the subject what must it be like for people who suffer with these problems?
Let me show what I mean. Here is the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia entry on this common problem:
"Depression, in psychiatry, a symptom of mood disorder characterized by intense feelings of loss, sadness, hopelessness, failure, and rejection. The two major types of mood disorder are unipolar disorder, also called major depression, and bipolar disorder, whose sufferers are termed manic-depressive (see bipolar disorder). Other types of depression are recognized, with characteristics similar to the major mood disorders, but not as severe: they are adjustment disorder with depression, dysthymic disorder, and cyclothymic disorder.
Close to 20% of Americans are likely to suffer major depression at some time, and women tend to be more susceptible to the disorder than men. Major depression is likely to interfere significantly with everyday activity, with symptoms including insomnia, irritability, weight loss, and a lack of interest in outside events. The disorder may last several months or longer — and may recur — but it is generally reversible in the short run."
Let's stop there as the entry then goes on to discuss all sorts of different types of this condition.
So the first interesting thing I noticed is the entry mentions this is reversible in the short run as well as the numbers affected - 20% of Americans, that’sapproximately 40 MILLION PEOPLE.
Oh my word what are we doing about this epidemic? I was shocked when I did the math and I only worked on the population of America being 200 million. It's probably closer to 300 million now.
So I did some more research and it would appear that the following is the progression that has taken place.
Let’s go back in time about 10 years. The number one complaint heard by doctors was fatigue. "Doc I just seem to be tired all the time."
Today it would appear the number one complaint heard by doctors is "I am depressed."
Is there a link or is depression a virus that can be transmitted from one person to another?Obviously not and I don’t wish to appear simplistic but surely there has to be something in common amongst all these people. I mean can they all be suffering from lack of money or the loss of a loved one?
As we already know, since the 1900's manufacturers have been stripping foods of certain components to increase shelf life.
Bread that stays "fresh" on the counter for two weeks,as an example.
So could it be diet or a gap in diet that is helping this depression bug along?
Let’s look a little further into this. Medical evidence is currently, and has been for some time, stating that depressive conditions may be connected to deficiencies in the neurotransmitters - norepinephrine and serotonin. Hold on here, neurotrans- mitters? Would that involve cells? You had better believe it! Now we are talking my language as you have seen from the page on Chronic Fatigue cells. This is our thing man and in fact the supplement that works mentions in the information on it the use for neurotransmitters. And in fact if we go back to the 50’s when the scientist were experimenting with people with chronic fatigue they also used patients who were depressed and had great results.
Now if you are one of these millions of people or you know somebody who is starting out on this very lonely road of depression. I urge you as strongly as I possibly can before you get into the terrible cycle of anti-depressant drugs like a personal friend of mine did, to read the following story.
(What follows is a true story)
A friend of ours was on two different types of anti-depression medicines and one of these was making her throw up so she was also on anti-throwing-up medication, and a few other things linked to this depression. She took the Supplement-That-works and is now off all her depression medications and I have to say looks at least 5 years younger.
She turned up to a presentation my wife and I were doing last August in our home town were everyone knows us so we have no where to run if these products don't work, wearing a winter coat. She had black lines under her eyes that looked like they had been drawn on with a 1/2" marker pen.
Now let me tell you she has successfully weaned herself off everything. And we have a new friend for life. And yes we make money from this product that we sell it's not a fortune. But there is no doubt in our minds where the real riches are. When you help as many people as we do,when you change as many lives for the better as we have, you willfind out also.
How many new friends could you do with?
You will please note in an effort not to commercialize the true story above I purposely did not add in any links. I am really trying on our web page here to give you a sense of our true belief in this product.
It has changed my family's life and it has changed my personal life. And I am hoping to change as many lives as possible through this website.
