| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Recent studies show that depression affects approximately 1 in 6 people. Once stigmatized, depression has gained far greater acceptance in social and medical circles; commercials advocating depression awareness or advertising antidepressants are common. While sadness, in moderation, is a part of the human experience, depression goes much beyond sadness. This book explains the biological and psychological elements of depression, symptoms, subtypes and common treatment methods. The history of depression and common theories of causality are also considered. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
