The Art of Avoiding Depression

There is an interesting article about depression on PsychologyToday.com. It starts off by pointing out that our technology-saturated culture may play a role in the high rates of depression in our society.

The article goes on to describe that depression, despite being a biological condition, is very much reliant on modern culture. According to the author “the idea that a chemical imbalance causes depression, rather than reflects it, ignores the fact that the brain’s biochemistry responds to our ways of thinking—in short, to life experience.”

This article offers thought-provoking ideas about depression, its causes, and how it can be coped with. Read the full article on MSN.
