Depressive disease is a very commonly seen phenomenon all around us. Many people who are depressed are puzzled and confused about their feelings. They cannot understand themselves and they do not expect anyone else to understand them either. The people around them do not understand the situation and often suggest that the person should pull himself together, get out more and stop dwelling on how he feels. This, of course does not work and the patient feels more miserable than ever before. Withdrawing further from friends and family he is reluctant to consult a doctor as he feels that he would be wasting the doctor’s time and that the doctor would not be able to understand him. All these peculiar feelings—the bewilderment, the sense of inadequacy, the loss of confidence, hopelessness, the inability to describe just how one feels, are in fact, typical symptoms of Depressive disease. They are not only very upsetting, but are also misleading and very unfortunate.

In the course of the book, we will examine why these symptoms occur, who are the persons at maximum risk, what is the treatment as well as myths and realities surrounding the Depressive disease. The book will help in spreading scientific knowledge and reducing social stigma about the illness. With timely, proper treatment, suffering of the patient and his family will also be considerably reduced.
