Transforming Depression
Depression is the most common mental imbalance affecting people in the 21st century.

Depression is an emotional state that can have a very real physiological basis and is now characterised as a disorder of mental chemistry rather than character. Decreased production of neurotransmitters ( mainly serotonin but also including dopamine, noradrenaline and acetylcholine ) as well as the bombardment of everyday stresses can create these very rel and intense feelings of sadness and despair.
