*
Endogenous depression. This form of depression comes from within, as a consequence of mental predisposition rights. «Endogenous» - measured depth, internal processes (including biochemical). This brings particular suffering depression because the patient does not feel capable of not only the joy, love and interest, but also grief, anger, compassion. Accordingly, such a depression is especially important time to recognize, as it is well kupiruetsya modern antidepressants.

To the east of the depression is sometimes considered a gift of the Gods, as it allows and even compels reflection on the meaning of life, to seek answers to the question «Who I am», «Why», and to be updated and re-open the joys and sorrows of this world. And if you go through a depression with a guide, plunge into it, this trip will help give meaning to these difficult experiences, life again twinkle paints, which may have long forgotten.
