SO THIS IS ME......????? Depression probably involves changes in the areas of the brain that control
mood. Nerve cells may be functioning poorly in certain regions of the brain.
Communication between nerve cells or nerve circuits can make it harder for a
person to regulate mood. These problems may be affected negatively by hormones.
An individual's life experience affects these biological processes. And genetic
makeup influences how vulnerable any of us is to breakdowns in these functions.
There is no way to prevent major depression, but detecting it early can diminish symptoms and help to prevent the illness from returning.

A combination of psychotherapy and medication is most helpful. The most commonly prescribed antidepressants are known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). They include fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil) 10-20 mg..... and citalopram (Celexa). They are not without problems, but they are fairly easy to take and relatively safe compared with previous generations of antidepressants.
Regarding side effects, SSRIs are known to cause problems with sexual
functioning, some nausea, and an increase in anxiety in the early stages of
treatmen
