People take pills to help them sleep at night, then take another pill to give them an energy boost in the morning. Depression has become one of the ailments treated commonly with a pill instead of more time-consuming or involved treatment processes.
While this may seem like a great innovation of modern medicine that a pill can be used to make a person happy, there are many problems associated with this…
Depression is a state of sadness and gloom where one feels dull and overwhelmed by the challenges of life. People tend to say that they are "depressed' any time they feel very unhappy.
